The smitten stars were spotted revelling in their new romance as they stepped out in Los Angeles.
JoJo and Chris packed on the PDA as they headed for a couple's massage.
The pair snuggled and cuddled, as they walked to a massage parlour in Downtown LA.
They only had eyes for each other, and have proved they can make a long distance relationship work.
Chris has been open and honest about how "totally in love" he is with JoJo.
"I am really in love with this one," he told the Daily Mail.
"She is my princess, she is a good one."
The new pics comes just days after Chris told The Sun that he was "obsessed" with his girlfriend.
Speaking to our Fabulous Magazine, he said: "There's no pressure on anything. I'm happy to jump on planes. We have a transatlantic relationship – she could live in New Zealand and we'd still make the same effort.
"I say it's effort, but it's effortless. Nothing is too much trouble to make her happy. I write love letters.
"I'm obsessed with her. I'd do anything for her.'
Chris also hit back at accusations their relationship is fake.
"I've had more people call me 'gay' in the last two months of my life than ever before," he told us.
"But it doesn't bother me – as long as people aren't nasty, opinions are fine."

Chris, who told us that the couple say "I love you everyday", also opened up to The Sun about the prospect of marriage.
"I do see a forever here… I'd love to marry her," he said.
"I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day."
JoJo and Chris have been practically inseparable since meeting him on CBB in April.

The pair were extremely close the whole time they were on ITV reality the show.
They spent the whole time in the house cuddling and snuggling, despite JoJo's relationship with Kath Ebbs.
Just hours after finishing in third place on Celebrity Big Brother, JoJo dumped Kath at the after-party - despite having flown in from Australia to support the singer.
At the time Kath took to Instagram to reveal the news to their fans.
They said: "Before I could even get back to the hotel I went to the afterparty with, I guess my now ex, crazy thing to say, and was dumped in the party.
"I was told that there are confused feelings there, do with that what you will, and they had realised in the house that I wasn't the person they wanted to spend the foreseeable."
After ending things with the Aussie influencer, the Dance Moms star wasted no time in turning her close friendship with Chris into a fully fledged relationship.
JoJo is believed to be plotting to spend more time in the UK amid her blossoming romance with former Love Island star Chris.

Leftists are determined to date each other - and not settle for liberals: ‘Politics are the new religion'
Zohran Mamdani gave Hinge an unofficial boost last month when the New York mayoral candidate revealed that he met his wife, Rama Duwaji, through swiping. 'There is still hope on those dating apps,' he said on the Bulwark podcast a week before his stunning victory in the Democratic primary. The tidbit spread over social media, cementing the 33-year-old democratic socialist's status as a millennial everyman. A subsequent Cosmopolitan headline read: 'Zohran Mamdani could make history (as the first NYC mayor to meet his wife on Hinge).' Representatives for Hinge would not comment, but plenty of eligible New Yorkers did, claiming they would redownload the app due to Mamdani's success, in spite of their dating fatigue. 'Now I'm clocking in like it's a full-time job,' one user posted on TikTok. 'If he can find love on that app maybe I can,' another wrote in a caption. However, they could run into an ideological hurdle while filling out their profiles. Alongside answering basic questions – 'Do you smoke, drink or do drugs? Where did you go to college?' – Hinge ask singles to choose their political affiliation: liberal, conservative, moderate, not political, or the mysterious 'other'. Some people to the left say the label 'liberal' does not encapsulate their socialist views. They associate it with establishment figures such as Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama – or Mamdani's rival, former governor Andrew Cuomo. Many liberals deem proposals by Hinge's golden boy (freezing rent, taxing the super-rich, making buses free) too radical. A socialist might want to distance themselves from such center-leaning liberalism and instead embrace the 'hot commie summer' that hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb warned his fellow billionaires of. 'There's a real appetite to date leftists now,' said Abby Beauregard, fundraising chair for Democratic Socialists of America's New York chapter. She said that Mamdani's victory reinvigorated the dating scene in in the city, 'but it's really hard to find explicitly leftist dating spaces. Most dating apps have a liberal option, but no leftist option, and it's not a turn-on to see 'other', because that could mean anything.' (For instance, far-right or communist.) So lefty singles are finding more explicit ways to signal their politics to like-minded love matches, on Hinge and beyond. Some have turned their dating profiles into mini-manifestos, writing out their entire belief system as answers to the apps' prompts. It's common to see watermelon emojis as euphemisms for solidarity with the Palestinian people. Some users will warn that they'll swipe left on Terfs (the acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminists), cops or Donald Trump supporters. 'It's important for me to see those signifiers,' said Caroline, a 38-year-old florist who lives in Queens. (She other sources are going by their first name for privacy reasons.) 'There's a nice feeling on the apps right now with people being proud to be communists or leftists, and they're saying that.' But she's wary of anyone who comes off as too lefty. 'That seems kind of tryhard,' she said. 'It can read as too performative, that you're fishing for alt-girls or you're a centrist who just wants someone freaky from Bushwick.' Tinder, OK Cupid and the kink-friendly app Feeld allow users to write their own bios, unlike Hinge, and they can choose within those bios whether they reveal their political affiliations. In the lead-up to the 2024 election, Tinder also launched profile 'stickers' so users could signal the issues they felt strongly about, such as 'voting for reproductive rights'. For her part, Caroline, who uses Feeld, wrote in her profile that she's 'far left' and 'COVID-cautious'. That feels like enough for her. 'Saying 'I love vaccines!', 'free Palestine!' or 'fuck Trump!' would be trite. It's all implied.' Dennis Mulvena describes himself as 'very left-leaning'. He used to keep his affiliations private on Hinge because he believed there was room for nuance in discussing politics, but recently listed himself as liberal. 'With the return of Trump in the last two years, it's important to have that out there,' said Mulvena, 30, who works in customer service for a car manufacturer. 'Admittedly gay people who live in Brooklyn tend to lean left, but I have had the experience of going on a date with someone who then revealed he was part of his college's Young Republicans club.' That was the last time he assumed that everyone he matched with would share the same views as him. According to an NBC News poll from April, the partisan gap between gen Z women, who are more likely to say they are Democrat, and gen Z men, who have shifted right, is the widest of all generations. And, increasingly, a person's politics have an impact on their perceived desirability. While past generations may have thought nothing about a conservative and liberal romantic pairing ('don't talk about politics or religion at the dinner table'), 60% of 18- to 24-year-olds think it's important to date or marry someone who shares their political beliefs. 'Politics is the new religion,' said Dr Jess Carbino, a former sociologist for Bumble and Tinder who studies dating apps. 'It's become the way that people choose to frame how they look at the world and their values.' Lily, a 23 year-old socialist who was recently laid off, is wary of seeing someone identify as 'not political' on Hinge. 'I'm immediately scared of what that means,' they said. 'As a queer person living through everything that's happening in this country, I need to know someone has a baseline care for people and their community.' In New York, more voters between the ages of 25 and 34 – a mix of gen Z and younger millennials – turned out to vote in the Democratic primary than any other age cohort, indicating a vigor for leftist politics. Recently, Lily has seen young people write on Hinge that they'd only go out with someone who voted for Mamdani or that they'd never go out with a Cuomo supporter. They have seen multiple people answer the Hinge prompt 'when was the last time you cried?' with: 'when Zohran won'. (They presume these were happy tears.) This is not to say New York is a young Bolshevik paradise: conservatives in the city are also trying to find each other. Some have gone into voluntary exile from mainstream dating apps, creating their own options. 'Our dating apps have gone woke,' reads the description for Date Right Stuff, one such app backed by Peter Thiel. 'Connect with people who aren't offended by everything.' In March, Date Right Stuff hosted a singles event at New York's Trump Tower called 'make America hot again'. It was a coming-out night for what the app's former chief marketing officer Raquel Debono called 'city conservatives', or Republicans who prefer urban life to small towns and tradwifedom. They are not the only ones going off-app: the Mamdani effect on New York's lefties could not be contained to Hinge. In early July, young people gathered inside a cocktail bar on the Lower East Side for a 'sexy socialist singles' event hosted by New York's DSA. Those looking for something casual – or, as the host put it, 'if you just want fast and free, like Zohran's buses' – were sent to one part of the bar, while those who wanted 'a slow burn, like taxing the fucking rich' went to another. At one point, organizers directed polyamorous attendees to a room upstairs, where they could mingle with other non-monogamous individuals. Upstairs, Sven, 25, an economics master's student who lives in Bushwick, said that young people view the DSA as a social club just as much as a platform for socialist candidates. 'I saw a post on Reddit talking about how all Zohran's canvassers are hot, and we have soccer leagues and book clubs,' they said. 'It's a great way to make friends.' Downstairs, back in monogamyville, Lauren, a video editor who lives in Astoria (the Queens neighborhood Mamdani represents as a New York assemblymember), waited for a friend who was off flirting. 'There's definitely an energy when I wear my Zohran T-shirt out,' she said. 'People are revved up. They'll call you from across the street saying, 'What's up?' or 'I love that guy.' It's a real conversation starter.' New York's DSA will continue its sexy socialist mixers in youth hubs Bushwick and Williamsburg, and in the Upper West Side for those over 30. In the meantime, singles will have to keep parsing political signifiers on dating apps.

Ulrika Jonsson hits back at people 'offended by ageing face'
Ulrika Jonsson has told people who criticised how she looked in a recent podcast interview not to "constantly judge women's appearance".The TV star, 57, appeared on Spencer Matthews' Untapped last week, on which she opened up about her past alcohol Sunday, she wrote on Instagram that she doesn't normally get many "nasty" comments on social media, and received lots of positive responses to what she said on the show. "But a considerable amount about my tanned appearance. AND how OLD I look."She added: "I understand that an over-tanned, imperfect and AGEING face offends you. But try to listen to the words rather than constantly judge women's appearance. You might learn something." 'Not a fan of make-up' Jonsson shot to fame at the end of the 1980s as a weather presenter, then appeared on shows including Gladiators and Shooting Stars, and won Celebrity Big didn't wear make-up during the interview with Matthews, "partly because I kinda forgot that a project for the ears is nowadays also a feast for the eyes", she explained."But as someone who has had to wear heavy make-up on screen from 5am for years, I'm not a fan."Most crucially though, since childhood I've suffered from eczema. On my body - the creases of my arms and legs - on my face - eyes and lips. Make-up has always been the enemy because it's been agony to wear."She told followers she would "never look like the fresh 21-year-old that used to greet you first thing in the morning by the weather board". Jonsson said she was "not ashamed to say that I am a sun worshipper and will no doubt pay the price for that", and that ultraviolet lamps, salt baths, astringent skin solutions and creams had been "a feature of my life since I was a small child"."I have uneven pigmentation doubtlessly not helped by ageing. I sometimes use filters in my pics because it's easier than foundation and less painful."I work tirelessly in my garden year round and often in the sun. I rarely sunbathe any more. Haven't had a sunbed for 6 months - which I do occasionally in winter months. Not ashamed."I have not had a holiday - of any kind - since 2018. That's 7 yrs."So, I understand that an over-tanned, imperfect and AGEING face offends you. But try to listen to the words rather than constantly judge women's appearance."She added: "And making people feel [bad] doesn't make you a hero."The NHS says there is no healthy way to get a Swedish-born presenter appeared on the podcast after writing a recent article saying she was an alcoholic, but had been sober for just over a drinking was an attempt to deal with "punishing anxiety" and another issue in her personal life, she told Matthews. 'I thought I'd be dead by now' She said she used to tell herself she didn't have a problem with alcohol, but then "the drinking started earlier in the day, and I found myself kneeling into the cupboard under the stairs where I kept my rum and just necking the rum from the bottle".But she stopped with the help of a support group and by regularly attending meetings, and said it had been a "miraculous" change."I never, ever in a million years thought that I would be capable of making a big shift and a big change - not just dropping the alcohol, but [in] mindset and approach to life."She added: "My mindset, my approach, has just completely changed. At nearly 58, I just didn't even think that that would be possible."I thought I wasn't very good at life, I wasn't cut out for it, and I was just a pretty rubbish-to-average person. And then this whole world kind of opened up to me."Jonsson also said she always assumed she would die relatively early like her father, who suffered a fatal brain haemorrhage at the age of 53."I did sort of think I would be dead by now - not from the drinking, but because my dad died young, I just had it in my head that I'd also have a brain haemorrhage really early, and I'd be gone, and so old age wasn't really something I needed to worry about."But here I am, and now sort of wanting to catch up on the years of negative thinking that I lost."

I caught the Coldplay cheats on camera - here's how much money I've really made from the viral clip and my biggest regret about posting it
The woman who caught the notorious Coldplay 'cheats' on camera has revealed all behind the viral clip. Grace Springer, 28, happened to be filming the crowd at Boston's Gillette Stadium the moment Andrew Byron and Kirstin Cabot appeared on screen. When they realised, the pair soon recoiled and moved away from one another. Andrew, who was the head of AI startup Astronomer, jumped out of the way, while Kirstin quickly covered her shocked face. Singer Chris Martin 's quip drew even more attention to the startled couple when he said: 'Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' The clip went viral online and amassed millions of views, and Grace shared her side of the story on Monday's episode of This Morning to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. The clip went viral online and amassed millions of views, and Grace shared her side of the story on Monday's episode of This Morning to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary 'I was hoping to see myself on the big screen and I love to capture moments so that's why my phone was out in the first place,' Grace explained. However, at first she didn't realise quite what she had caught on her camera. She added: 'In the moment when I filmed it I didn't think much of it but everyone was kind of chattering. 'There was over 50,000 people at the concert so it was a hot topic. 'But it wasn't until after the concert that I was debriefing the moment with my friends and said, 'let's review the footage, let's see if it really looks that bad'. And I think it does.' The Mail previously reported that public records suggest both Andy Byron and Kirstin Cabot are married - but that they live at different addresses to those listed as their spouses. Dermot asked Grace, 'Would you have posted it again looking back? Do you feel guilty at all?' She admitted: 'I definitely feel for Andy's wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process but as I said there was over 50,000 people and I'm not the only one that caught it on camera so if it wasn't me who uploaded it, I'm sure someone else would've.' The clip has been viewed by some 120million people and Grace shared she didn't think it would attract so much attention. 'I never would have imagined that this would have happened, had I have known? Maybe I would've thought twice,' she said. Alison asked: 'What was the reaction in the actual stadium? Was everyone talking about that moment? What was it like?' Grace said: 'It definitely caught everyone's attention, especially because Chris made the announcement kind of questioning their reaction but after that, I'm not sure if you're too familiar with Coldplay but their concerts are magical so at least for me, I moved on pretty quickly and enjoyed the rest of the night.' Dermot clarified that Grace had not made any money through the TikTok creator fund with the video and isn't part of the scheme. 'I've actually made no money from the video itself or the views, it's not monetised,' Grace added. Dermot read a comment from Astronomer on the show: 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently that standard was not met. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.' The Daily Mail previously approached Byron, Cabot and Astronomer for comment. It has since emerged that the company the pair work for provides generative AI software to a number of major companies including Uber, Ford and LinkedIn. Byron heaped praise on Cabot in a November 2024 post about her appointment to the firm. 'Kristin's exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory,' he said in a press release. 'She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.' Byron became CEO of Astronomer in 2023, and the startup rapidly grew under his tenure including a reported 292% growth in revenue for its 'Astro' platform that year.
