JoJo Siwa clarifies sexuality as she and Chris Hughes plan next move
JoJo Siwa has reflected on her sexuality as her relationship with Chris Hughes reaches new levels.
The 22-year-old TikTok superstar met the 32-year-old Love Islander on Celebrity Big Brother, both reaching the final after forming a close, tactile bond.
Having since forged a romantic relationship, things have been going swimmingly for the lovebirds, who frequently give fans an intimate insight via soppy social media posts.
Prior to dating Chris, JoJo had been in a relationship with Australian musician Kath Ebbs, from whom she split while at the CBB wrap party.
Things turned pretty sour between them amid the fallout, with 27-year-old Kath claiming JoJo 'humiliated' them, while she maintains that she didn't intend for matters to escalate in such a way.
JoJo also previously identified as a lesbian, but admitted to drag queen Danny Beard during Celeb Big Brother that the label 'queer' felt more fitting.

Now, having got used to her life post-CBB, JoJo has doubled down on her earlier comments, with E! News quizzing her during Pride Month.
'I think the most beautiful term now is queer,' JoJo told Francesca Amiker.
She continued: 'I think queer is an umbrella of, 'Look, I'm just me.'
'And I think the most beautiful thing about the LGBTQIA community is love is love. And that goes both ways.'
The Karma hitmaker added: 'There's loads of beautiful, different sexualities. Sexuality and queerness is a lovely rainbow that has all different places, and it also has places on this rainbow that we don't even know exist yet.'
Making it more than clear how she feels about boyfriend Chris, JoJo declared that she 'feels so in the right position for [herself].'
'I feel so content with my happiness,' said the singer. I feel so relaxed and at ease with where I'm at. I feel so happy and peaceful that the love that I feel is so real.'
'You can't really help who you fall in love with,' she stated.
JoJo went on to praise Chris for teaching her that 'there's no right or wrong way to be you', having 'never second-guessed' her feelings for him.
'When I think about him, I'm full of pure joy.'
And there could be more positive news on the horizon for fans of the new couple, as reports claim they're set to get even more screentime beyond the walls of the CBB house.
As printed by The Sun, JoJo and Chris – dubbed 'CoJo' by fans – could be getting their own fly-on-the-wall series… which may even have global reach.
A source said that while it's 'still in the early stages,' ITV thinks it would be 'amazing' to have JoJo and Chris front their own reality programme.
'Fans around the world are obsessed with their relationship, and there are so many TikTok accounts devoted to their love story.'
Neither party has made a formal commitment just yet, but with both 'keen' to take things further, talks are looking 'promising'.
'ITV are eyeing up the show to air on ITV2, hopefully later this year once everything is signed on the dotted line.'
Details of what the show will entail exactly are yet to be revealed, but it seems there's every chance of some cameos from loved ones.
Appearing on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch last week, JoJo said that her mother 'adores' Chris.
'My parents think the absolute world of him, and him and my dad are like best friends,' she shared sweetly.
'Chris was actually telling me that yesterday they went to the spa together. They're literally best friends.
'Mum, she absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us because I've never seen my mum so happy.
'It feels like we're a family. It feels like he's been in my family for however many years. It feels like they just all get along as well as I do.' More Trending
JoJo and her fam live in the US, while Chris is over in the UK.
Determined to make long-distance work, they're already flying back and forth to spend several days with one another at a time.
Unfortunately, this also results in emotional goodbyes, with JoJo admitting this week that plenty of tears were shed when she left England for home once more.

I had affair with married man 20 years older & was branded a home wrecker – if Louis Tomlinson was a woman he'd be too
The rivalry between Louis Tomlinson and Sam Thompson over Zara McDermott was only headed in One Direction… with Louis getting an easy ride LOVE TRIANGLE I had affair with married man 20 years older & was branded a home wrecker – if Louis Tomlinson was a woman he'd be too WHEN Soccer Aid kicked off tonight, all eyes should have been on the football pitch. Instead, attention and speculation has been swirling around the love triangle between Zara McDermott, Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson. Advertisement 7 Emma Woolf admits she's had the 'homewrecker' label chucked at her - but her lover faced little criticism Credit: Sarah Brick - Commissioned by The Sun 7 Sam and Zara dated for five years before splitting in December Credit: Instagram 7 Zara moved on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson Credit: BackGrid In a very awkward line-up, love rivals Sam and Louis were supposed to be playing on the same England team during the big charity match for Unicef against a World XI Then, in a last-minute curveball on Friday, Sam pulled out, citing injury. Advertisement Given that he recently completed a 260-mile marathon over five days for Unicef, you could say it's not surprising he had an injury. Sam had been determined to take part in the match even after his gruelling marathon, telling his This Morning colleague Alison Hammond: 'I'm still very sore, still got the torn calf. However, I am here at Soccer Aid HQ and it does not get better than this.' But you can't help feeling he was sore in more ways than one — and it's his feelings that have really been injured. I can't imagine being in such close proximity to a love rival. I'd avoid it at all costs. And we all know there is no such thing as 'letting bygones be bygones'. But when Love Islander Zara's ex-partner Sam and current boyfriend Louis were pictured in training last week, it was all macho smiles, back-slapping and in Sam's words 'no hard feelings'. Advertisement If One Direction singer Louis was a woman, he wouldn't get such an easy ride. Romantic getaways This display of male solidarity highlighted the double standards in society. I don't need to look far to imagine how the narrative would have played out if these two were women. Sam would be the victim and Louis would be dragged across hot coals, regardless of whether or not there had been a crossover between the two relationships. Louis Tomlinson squeezes Zara McDermott's bum as they kiss on romantic holiday in Costa Rica No matter how long they left it before starting their romance, fingers would be pointed and the new woman would somehow be to blame for the break-up. I know, as I've had the 'homewrecker' label chucked at me while my lover faced little criticism. Advertisement Not a word has been said against Louis, as far as I can see. And despite the whole world knowing that Louis got the girl, Sam is determined not to lose face. The I'm A Celebrity winner did his best happy-go-lucky impression, showboating and grinning his way through training for Soccer Aid and pretending he didn't care that his ex's new lover was there. I was 'mistress' of a married man so wife's pals harassed me. Emma Woolf It is the blokey thing to do — they don't want to appear the loser in the game of love. They use every macho weapon in the arsenal to avoid denting their pride. They pretend they don't mind that their best mate copped off with the girl they had fancied for years, or a cousin had a fling with their wife when they were going through a rocky patch. 7 In a last-minute curveball on Friday, Sam pulled out from Soccer Aid, citing injury Credit: Getty Advertisement 7 The I'm A Celebrity winner did his best happy-go-lucky impression, showboating and grinning his way through training for Soccer Aid Credit: Shutterstock Editorial But Sam and Zara, who split in January, were together for more than five years. Deep down, like anyone else whose long-term partner has moved on so quickly and so publicly, it must burn. Zara was pictured with Louis by March and they were official soon after. At first, many dismissed her new relationship with the singer. But there's no doubt it is for real — and things are hotting up. Advertisement Louis has been flying Zara around the world on a series of romantic getaways. On Thursday night she was sharing pictures of her home-made 'creamy salmon pasta' with Louis' guitar visible in the background. You wouldn't blame Sam if he was feeling devastated, betrayed and angry. The public aspect of this heartbreak adds a whole new level of humiliation. And you can only imagine how Sam felt at the training camp — in the changing room, in team pep-talks and at dinner with Louis, whom Zara is now obviously heads-over-heels for, with all their team-mates well aware of the situation. Advertisement His injury has come at a convenient time, as it saves him the humiliation of having the world's media pore over their every glance or backslap during the match. Sam and Louis seem to have assumed they could swagger through. Emma Woolf If this were two women, one would be the sinner, her reputation dragged through the mud. The trolls would be out in force, calling her a trashy slut and trawling through her dating history, regardless of whether there was any actual overlap. I remember the reaction to Kristina Rihanoff taking up with her Strictly partner Ben Cohen, with the pro Russian dancer insisting they got together after Ben split from his wife Abby. She was called a homewrecker and there were calls for her to be axed from the show, but Kristina called out the double standards. In 2005, when Hollywood's golden couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston split, everyone took sides. Advertisement His new lover Angelina Jolie was crucified in public as the most predatory, husband-stealing female alive — even though at the time, Brad and Jolie had not confirmed whether their relationship had started before or after he broke up with Aniston. Whether you were for Jen or Ange was a defining cultural moment. And yet Brad Pitt, who was the married one (not Angelina) escaped with his reputation intact, if not bolstered. Once again, double standards. 7 Kristina Rihanoff was called a homewrecker after entering a relationship with Strictly partner Ben Cohen Credit: PA:Press Association 7 Angelina Jolie was crucified in public for dating Brad Pitt after he split from Jennifer Aniston Credit: Getty I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end, having had an affair with a married man 20 years my senior. And I can tell you it's always the woman's fault. Advertisement As the much younger, single 'mistress' I was insulted and harassed by friends of the wife, whereas my married lover just got gentle warnings from his mates. Blokey banter Despite the fact I'd told him I would not get involved with him while he was with his wife, the blame was cast squarely on me, not him. Although there's no evidence of any overlap between Zara's two relationships, and no proof of infidelity, the gap between her two men wasn't exactly respectful. Women are made to feel so much shame that the idea of encountering your love rival face to face is excruciating. Sam and Louis seem to have assumed it would be fine, they could swagger their way through. No woman would have had the gall to be in the same public space as their lover's recent ex. Female love rivals tend to avoid, and spurn, each other, doing anything they can to dodge crossing paths. Advertisement If I were Zara, I'd be squirming right now. There's nothing more embarrassing than the thought of your exes discussing you. Worse, the idea of them possibly comparing notes in the blokey banter of the football changing room. Timeline of Louis Tomlinson's love life Here we delve into Louis' love life since his rise to fame in One Direction. Hannah Walker - Louis' first girlfriend, who he dated in 2010. They split in 2011 as his band One Direction took off and the long distance romance was too much for them. Eleanor Calder - The pair dated on and off from 2011 to 2022. They were first photographed kissing at the London Olympic Games in 2012. Briana Jungwirth - Louis dated American Briana in 2015 and they have a son named Freddie, who was born in 2016. Sofie Nyvang - Louis was rumoured to be in a relationship with Danish model Sofie in February 2023. They split two months later in April 2023. Two women, trapped in the same awkward love triangle, wouldn't even have attempted to play on the same sports team. So while Zara squirms, we have one victor in this battle. Louis might have done the gentlemanly thing and withdrawn from the team, instead of Sam. He might have shown some humility, or sensitivity, when they met in the public glare. But all's fair in love and war, and for now he's the winner. Not only does he have Zara waiting at home for him, he's even got her creamy salmon pasta.

NYC influencer is roasted for her aquatic-inspired purse... would YOU wear it?
A popular NYC influencer has divided the internet after sharing her aquatic-inspired purse. Halley Kate McGookin, who has 1.5million followers on TikTok, took to her page on June 5 to showcase her new purchase - a massive fish-shaped handbag. McGookin, who describes herself as ' funnier on TikTok, prettier on Insta,' called the $395 purse a 'beach bag,' but quickly clarified it could really work 'whenever' because it 'fits a lot.' The bag is made by STAUD, a clothing brand founded by American fashion designer Sarah Staudinger. She paired the unique bag with a $550 STAUD black silk dress with colorful sardines all over it and a lace trim along the chest. 'This for like a little Hamptons summer moment.... literally no notes,' she said, adding that she wouldn't be wearing the dress and bag together 'because that might be a little bit much.' Despite the influencer's clear enthusiasm about her new items, online users were not at all impressed with the fish-themed tote as one said it resembled 'a papier mache project.' 'Lmao those look like they came from temu,' another wrote on Reddit. 'People will buy anything if it's designer.' 'Oh the dress is great but please donate the bag,' wrote someone else. 'Money can't buy taste, as they say,' another chimed in. A commenter simply asked: 'WHAT is this?!?!?!?' seemingly perplexed by her accessory choice. While many people appeared to dislike the bag, some shared they were in favor of it. 'I'm a sucker for an animal shaped bag tbh lol,' a user said. 'Okay the fish bag is the moment,' said another. Someone else wrote: 'Obsessed looks so good.' 'Tbh if I had the money I'd be buying all of these bags too they're fun,' another said. The bag also comes in a smaller size for $295, according to the website. McGookin, who grew up in Virginia, is no stranger to criticism over her looks as she was recently slammed for a 'skid mark' manicure design she chose to go with in March. She was brutally mocked online after she showed off her manicure, calling it 'The best nails I've ever done.' Viewers were quick to point out the design looked more like 'blood stains' and 'skid marks' than a cute puppy - while many also mistook it for a brutal injury. In the clip, Halley said: 'Actually freaking out today. I took my busted nails from this to this. I never do designs on my nails, but I am so obsessed.' She continued, explaining she had visited Gilded Ritual salon for a 'Russian manicure' with hard gel, praising how the technique leaves 'cuticles non-existent.' 'The nail tech was so awesome and helped me pick out the right color to make sure we got Rusty all perfect on my nails. Obsessed with Russian manicures because the attention to detail like your cuticles are non existent after getting one. 'Just did a really simple nude color as my base and then I broke two of my nails so she added an extension so fast and she did the design so fast as well. She painted on the little dog,' she said. Viewers quickly mocked her over the design, as one said: 'The left nail looks like a skid mark.'
