Their outing comes shortly after Siwa acknowledged their growing closeness during an appearance at the opening of Universal Studios' Epic Universe in Orlando. 'Things are going great,' she said in a video shared via E! News.
The two met while competing on Celebrity Big Brother UK earlier this year. Throughout the series, their strong bond was evident through shared private notes, late-night conversations, and affectionate gestures.
Hughes, known for Love Island UK, also publicly supported Siwa when she faced homophobic remarks on the show. Siwa later clarified her sexuality, saying she now identifies as queer.
While Siwa has stated her recent breakup with Kath Ebbs was unrelated to Hughes, fans continue to watch the evolving relationship between the two.

Justin Baldoni's PR team hikes its monthly fee to brace for Taylor Swift fan backlash
Justin Baldoni's public relations team has raised eyebrows, and prices, after requesting a $30 000 per month increase in their fee, citing concerns over Taylor Swift's ferocious fan base, the 'Swifties.' The PR firm, based in Texas and working for Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios, framed the demand as a necessary measure to shield their client from potential social media fallout. According to documents obtained by TMZ, an internal email included the note, 'The social team are now worried about Blake activating the Taylor Swift fan base, which is a major concern. With this in mind and to ensure Justin and the studio are 100 % protected moving forward, they have now changed the fee to $30 000 per month due to the uptick in social chatter.' The sharp fee increase comes amid Baldoni's escalating legal and PR showdown with co-star Blake Lively, whose accusations of sexual harassment turned into a full-blown war of words. Taylor Swift, though not a direct participant in the dispute, has become an unexpected centrepiece due to her close friendship with Lively and her immense, mobilised fan following. The mere prospect of Swifties rallying to Lively's side is now seen as a PR risk requiring extra resources to manage. This development underscores how influential celebrity fandoms can sway not just public perception but even legal strategies and budgets. Even when not directly involved, figures like Taylor Swift wield remarkable power through their communities, prompting proactive crisis planning from industries accustomed to damage control. Whether this strategic investment will pay off remains to be seen, but as the legal drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the Swiftie effect is undeniable.

Brad Pitt's mother, Jane Pitt, Dies at 84
Brad Pitt is mourning the loss of his mother, Jane Pitt, who died at the age of 84. The news was first reported by TMZ and later confirmed by PEOPLE. A representative for the actor declined to comment publicly on the family's loss. Jane Pitt, a retired school counselor, raised Brad and his siblings — Doug and Julie — in Springfield, Missouri, alongside her husband William Pitt, who owned a trucking company. Throughout her life, Jane was known for her warmth and unwavering support for her family. Brad's niece, Sydney Pitt, shared a touching tribute on Instagram, calling her grandmother 'my sweet Grammy' and remembering her as someone who 'cared deeply for everyone and everything, no questions asked.' She added, 'We were not ready for you to go yet, but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier.' Sydney reflected on the love Jane had for her 14 grandchildren, saying she never missed a beat when spending time with them. 'There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it,' she wrote. 'We were truly blessed to have her to love on growing up.' Despite largely staying out of the spotlight, Jane occasionally joined her son on red carpets, including at the 2012 Oscars and the 2014 premiere of Unbroken, directed by Pitt's then-wife Angelina Jolie. At a recent screening of his film F1 in June, Brad gave a public shout-out to his mom during an interview with Today anchor Savannah Guthrie. 'Love you, Mom,' he said, sending her a wave and kiss. In 2009, Brad and his siblings donated $1 million to a Missouri hospital, helping open the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center. Jane later expressed pride in her children's philanthropy, saying in a 2018 WorldServe International video, 'They see a need and try to step in and fill it… It's an amazing thing.'

Blake Lively accuses Justin Baldoni's lawyers of media manipulation with leaked deposition transcript
Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni's attorneys of orchestrating a media campaign by publicizing her recent deposition, according to a letter filed by her legal team and reported by Deadline. The dispute stems from Lively's ongoing lawsuit alleging harassment and retaliation during the production of the romantic drama film It Ends With Us. In a letter submitted to federal court on August 5, Lively's lawyers criticized Baldoni's team for releasing the full 292-page transcript of her July 31 deposition. The letter argues that the move served no legal purpose and was designed to generate publicity. 'The transcript was ostensibly filed to argue that Bryan Freedman and his firm have not engaged in a smear campaign,' attorney Esra Hudson wrote. 'But in fact, this tactic perfectly demonstrates the counsel-as-PR-agent role.' Hudson also alleged that Baldoni's team immediately leaked details of the deposition—including Lively's arrival time, attire, and presence of her husband Ryan Reynolds—to tabloid media. Outlets such as TMZ and Daily Mail published details soon after the deposition took place at Lively's attorney's Manhattan office. Lively's lawyers emphasized that the setting was misrepresented, stating that Baldoni and several others were present during the deposition, along with eight attorneys representing his side. They called the transcript filing a 'manufactured excuse' to expose private legal proceedings. A countersuit filed by Baldoni for $400 million was dismissed in June. Lively's trial against Baldoni is scheduled to begin on March 9, 2026. Meanwhile, Baldoni is pursuing a separate legal battle with insurance companies over coverage for his legal fees. Later on August 5, Lively's legal team filed a motion for sanctions against Freedman, citing alleged pre-trial slander and character attacks. Representatives for both sides have declined to comment publicly.
