JoJo Siwa responds after Miley Cyrus criticised over comments on Chris Hughes romance
Siwa admitted that she had needed some time to process the remarks. 'I wasn't sure how I felt about things for a couple of days… but I've started to come to some thoughts. I don't believe what Miley said at World Pride was ill-intended honestly I think it was meant to be a joke just not a very good one.'

JoJo Siwa 'in floods of tears' finally leaving UK after Chris Hughes stay
JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes spent a whirlwind three weeks together (Picture: ITV) JoJo Siwa has told followers she was distraught as she big goodbye to the UK after spending three weeks with boyfriend Chris Hughes. The US singer, 22, finally confirmed the romance rumours were true after weeks of speculation as Siwa and Hughes posted a series of seemingly loved up pictures online. Siwa touched down in London in May to perform a concert and has since been enjoying some quality time with Hughes, 32, who she met and grew close to in the Celebrity Big Brother house this year. Yet she's now had to return home to the US and it seems her parting from Hughes might have been as emotional as when he jetted back from the States after a week-long stay, leaving Siwa in tears. One of Siwa's fan pages shared a meme on Instagram of a young child crying while trundling a wheelie suitcase in front of Big Ben, captioning it: 'JoJo leaving the UK'. The pop star reposted the meme, commenting: 'Honestly it was worse than this more tears hahaha.' Siwa reposted a fan's meme to her Instagram stories (Picture: Instagram) The couple finally went official! (Picture: Instagram) Although the couple are now embarking on a long-distance relationship, Siwa has said she's confident they can weather the ocean now in between them. The pair spent time with Hughes' parents in the Cotswolds during her stay, enjoying some very public PDA. While appearing on Gyles Brandreth's Rosebud podcast, Siwa spoke about how the Celebrity Big Brother alums went from friends to couple of the moment. Siwa explained how Hughes was the one housemate she knew of before she walked into the ITV house, adding: 'I wasn't looking to fall for him. He wasn't looking to fall for me. We were just having so much fun together. Whenever one of us was down, it was the other one of us that helped.' Siwa has no doubts they can handle long-distance (Picture: Instagram) We don't know when the couple will reunite (Picture: Ken McKay/ITV/Shutterstock) However, when they left the house, Siwa has said she realised her feelings ran deeper. 'Leaving the house, I wasn't sure what was going to happen,' she said. 'But I had all these realisations of my life, things that I wasn't happy (about), that I was being ok with that I should never have been ok with. 'I'm not happy, so I need to handle things', and I did very quickly once I got out of the house.' 'Then over a little bit of time I realised that I started to feel something for Christopher that I never intended, but I couldn't not feel.' Siwa admitted she was lucky Hughes felt the same, and said she is confident that their relationship will 'last a lifetime'. Got a story?

Yet JoJo, who revealing she was no longer a lesbian in the CBB compound during the show's live stream, has now come under fire from the Wrecking Ball hitmaker. Boomerang songstress JoJo said she now wants to identify as queer, yet Hannah Montana star Miley, 33, appeared to throw shade on her at a recent World Pride event. She said, in a piece to camera from inside a closet: "'Oh, my God, I haven't been in here since sixth grade!' "Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you. "It shouldn't be a month - it should be a year; it should be infinite." The Party In The USA songstress then dealt her jibe and added: "I'm going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out." Yet now she has called out the "bad joke" by her pop idol as she shared images of her Miley Cyrus-themed fifth birthday party to her Instagram page. In her caption, she wrote: "I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I'm still happy now at 22… If you know me, you know that Miley is my day 1, grew up beyond inspired by her from 2 years old on…" Chris Hughes breaks silence on JoJo Siwa relationship and he's quizzed by Ben Shepherd on This Morning "I wasn't sure how I felt about things for a couple of days… but I've started to come to some thoughts…. I don't believe what Miley said at world pride was ill intended, honestly I think it was meant to be a joke, but just not very good one haha. "Not what the world, or myself needs to hear anyday of the week." She then told how she had tackled the issue head-on and added: "I messaged Miley light heartedly about it and she replied and said 'All love. Always.' "Honestly the most beautiful thing I've learned in the last five years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don't question yourself, don't second guess yourself, just love. Love love love love love. JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs' relationship We look back at JoJo Siwa's romance with Kath Ebbs: JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs' relationship in January 2025. The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier. JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after. Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: 'I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it's beautiful. It's taught me so much about life. 'It's taught me so much about love and respect, and it's a beautiful thing. 'It's different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn't even know what to say the biggest is 'cause just everything is so different and special.' Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together. However, JoJo's romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party. JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house - where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes. "People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to… but if you feel happy and content with yourself, that's most important. "You get one life… hold onto it, make it yours, find your happy, and love." OPENING UP JoJo's sexuality confession came to light in the CBB house earlier this year, where she said she realised she was no longer a lesbian. During a private chat in the bedroom, she confessed: "I feel so queer," as co-star Danny Beard then responded: "I'm queer!" In a new interview following her reality TV stint, she told how the phrase queer "encompasses how I am, and who I am". She added: "I do live this very, very big public life that has so many eyeballs on it, and it can get really hard to navigate. "But I'm also living a human life. You can't help who you love." The term queer is defined by LGBTQ charity Stonewall as "a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity". JoJo's sexuality was already a subject of conversation on CBB when American actor Mickey Rourke made a homophobic slur when talking to her earlier on in the series. REAL DEAL Meanwhile, amid the background noise, JoJo and Chris' partnership is going from strength to strength. The Bulletproof singer recently opened up on the "genuine" nature of their bond. She said: "People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop. "I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them." Clarifying the pair's exact relationship status she told The Guardian: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way." She added: "I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. "Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never been in pain from smiling so much." 5 JoJo said she tackled the issue head on and messaged Miley direct Credit: Getty
