JoJo Siwa and new boyfriend Chris Hughes have already taken a major step in their relationship... only days after they finally confirmed that they were dating.
The former Nickelodeon star, 22, and the British TV personality, 32, sparked romance rumors after they both appeared in the UK's Celebrity Big Brother in April.
They were seen growing extremely close throughout the reality show, but the pair continuously denied that they were more than friends.
That is, until last week, when Chris posted an intimate snap of him and JoJo in bed together, confirming that they are indeed dating.
Soon after, JoJo gushed over her new beau in an interview, revealing that she's 'head over heels for him' and that she couldn't be happier.
Now, the couple has gone to the next level in their relationship, as they were spotted spending time with JoJo's parents this week.
The blonde beauty's mom, Jessalynn Siwa, shared a sweet snap of her and her husband, Tom Siwa, hanging out with JoJo and Chris in London via Instagram on Tuesday.
The foursome all smiled from ear to ear as they posed together in front of a red bus that had an ad for a contest JoJo is hosting on it.

The Love Island star, for his part, donned some black shorts and a black T-shirt for the family outing.
JoJo and Chris first sparked dating rumors after they were spotted getting quite cozy on Celebrity Big Brother.
JoJo, who previously identified as gay, revealed in the show, 'I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, but I think you — I think being here, I've realized, "Oh no, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer."
Soon after it premiered, JoJo's then-girlfriend Kath Ebbs announced that they had split.
Then, during an appearance on This Morning afterwards, JoJo spoke about her bond with Chris - but insisted they were just friends.
'It's hard to explain. It's just a really strong bond between two people, which is just a strong friendship,' she said.
'I think you can have, like, a soulmate friendship. I think that's a thing … Having someone in [the house] to go through an experience like that and have someone there every day when you're emotional when you're down when you're happy - that was beautiful.'
She also doubled down and said there was nothing romantic going on with them again to Us Weekly weeks later, stating, 'It's a great little special friendship that we have.'
'We still speak all the time, obviously, naturally,' she added. 'Now to be out of the house, we just exist, and it is what it is. We're happy, and we have each other.'
But soon after, the two stars were spotted kissing during a romantic getaway in Mexico.
He also jetted off to visit her in late May for her birthday, and the two were seen getting quite intimate in a series of social media snaps.
They finally made their romance official over the weekend, when Chris shared a steamy bedroom snap with JoJo on Snapchat.
Sharing the sweet image of himself and JoJo cuddled in bed together, he captioned the image: 'Sleeping beauty.'
While chatting with the Guardian after, JoJo gushed, 'It's not platonic any more.
'It's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.'
The Dance Moms star also hit back at speculation that their relationship is a 'PR stunt,' saying: 'Clearly, you've never been around us. 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 [before] been in pain from smiling so much.'

During an appearance on Sunday Brunch, JoJo got emotional as she revealed how Chris had already been embraced by her family.
She said: '[My mom] loves him, she does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him.
'Him and my dad are like best friends, Chris was actually telling me this yesterday, they went to the spa together yesterday.
'They're literally best friends. Mom Siwa, she absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us, because I've never seen my mom so happy, and it's... it's... I could cry.
'Honestly, it makes me happy to have everybody act as... it feels like we're a family, it feels like he's been in my family for how ever many years it feels like forever.'
'He gets along as well as I do. I think he loves me because of my parents,' she joked.
