A JoJo fan page shared a meme of a young girl crying in London on Instagram which the pop star reposted and added: "Honestly it was worse than this more tears hahaha."
It was reminiscent of the first days of their romance when Chris jetted home from the States after a week-long stay, leaving JoJo in tears.
They're confident they can weather long distance though. JoJo insisted she'll never break up with Chris, 32, calling their relationship "earthquake proof".
She told Capital Breakfast: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together.
"And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof.
"And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him."
Jordan then quizzed JoJo on whether she had found her 'happy place' with Chris.
The US star gushed: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best!
"I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean!
"And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'.
"He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch! I could never get tired of speaking highly of him, he's just the best."
The pair spent time with Chris's parents in the Cotswolds during her stay, enjoying time riding horses.
They couldn't keep their hands off each other at times with Chris pictured kissing JoJo on the neck.
JoJo admitted she's "shocked" at how close they have become in such a short period of time.
Speaking to Billboard, she said: "It blows my mind that 30 days ago I would never have even imagined that I would be friends with Chris Hughes, that's the weirdest thing, much less be one of the closest people too me now in my life who I would die for.
"I think its a combination of the shared experience but also in Big Brother, you have no phone, no outside communication, no distraction, nothing.
"You only have each other. I love connecting and I love people and when someone comes into your life and you enjoy it, you can tell."

Heston Blumenthal reveals he 'thought about different ways of ending his life'
Heston Blumenthal has revealed he 'had thought about different ways of ending [his life]' before eventually receiving treatment for bipolar disorder. The London-born celebrity chef, 59, who holds a total of seven Michelin stars across his restaurants, was diagnosed with type 1 bipolar after being sectioned - on the insistence of his wife, French entrepreneur Melanie Ceysson - in November 2023. Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder which causes unusual and often sudden changes in mood and energy levels. He spent two weeks heavily medicated in a psychiatric hospital and a further six weeks in a clinic, where he continued with intensive treatment and practised walking meditation. Yet, four years previously, he had already hit rock bottom and was contemplating the method he would use to take his own life. Looking back to filming the cookery show Crazy Delicious in 2019, Heston told The Times: 'I remember lying on the sofa the night before I was due to go to do the show - I didn't want to do it, because of the condition I was in - and I had thought about different ways of finishing [my life]. 'I went through a list: knife? No, can't do that. Gun? Don't have one. Rope? I don't think I could do that; wouldn't know how. It would probably slip off or whatever. 'And there was no train station anywhere near to jump in front of a train.' The father-of-three, whose first eatery, The Fat Duck, was named the best restaurant in the world in 2005, added that he didn't perceive that he was in a depressive state - even when he 'was talking about suicide or death'. He told the publication: 'I must have been in a mixed state [a period of rapid highs and lows], because I was excited about planning my funeral, planning my wake. What music I wanted, who I wanted there - I got quite excited about that.' The chef spoke to The Times ahead of the release of a new BBC documentary titled Heston: My Life with Bipolar, which will air on June 19. In the interview, Heston, who lives in Provence in southeastern France with his second wife Melanie, addressed his past, present and future. Reflecting on the diagnosis he received in November 2023 after being sectioned by police officers and a doctor who turned up at his home, he said: 'I don't have bipolar; I am bipolar. 'It was always there, and for whatever reason - possibly Covid isolation; I was on my own a lot - it escalated.' Had he not been sectioned at the insistence of Melanie, 38, at this time, the chef would have lived for only a few more days. In the years prior to his hospitalisation, Heston, who was diagnosed with ADHD in 2017, experienced depressive states and hypomania, a less serious version of mania which can nevertheless drive risk-taking and impulsivity. During this time, he was sleeping as little as 20 hours a week - and was using cocaine, unusually, to help him get to sleep. By contrast, he would work a 120-hour week, fuelled by flashes of creativity brought on by the hypomania. Today, Heston remains on medication and told how his depression is still a problem for him, though he blames external factors such as a family court case and the financial losses that his restaurants have been subject to. Next week's documentary will look into the state of healthcare for those with bipolar in the UK, with Heston talking to others who also have the condition about their experiences. In May, when the project was announced, he said: 'I was living with undiagnosed bipolar for many years, so it's been an extraordinary journey to get where I am today. 'There is still a big stigma around bipolar, but it is vital to be able to talk openly about the condition. 'I know this isn't always easy, but I hope by sharing my experience in this documentary people will gain a greater understanding of bipolar and an insight into my life now.' Heston, who has an impressive seven Michelin stars, became an ambassador for Bipolar UK in February. The charity describes the mental health condition as an episodic disorder characterised by potentially extreme changes in energy and mood. It carries the highest suicide risk of any mental health condition. Bipolar UK estimates more than one million adults in Britain have the disorder - which is 30 per cent more than the number of people with dementia. But it is thought some 56 per cent of those living with bipolar in the UK do not have a diagnosis. Mike Radford, executive producer of the upcoming documentary, said: 'This is the first time Heston has given his account of what happened for a documentary. 'We're grateful to Heston for giving such a raw and unfiltered view of his life with this condition, which we know impacts the lives of so many people.' The film, recorded over the course of six months, will see Heston and his loved ones about how his undiagnosed bipolar disorder affected them. He will also speak about how he has since managed undergoing long-term treatment for it - which he has previously said has impacted his energy and creativity. The chef, known for experimental creations like snail porridge and bacon and egg ice cream, told Newsnight in February medication initially left him 'zombified', with 'no energy at all'. He said: 'As my medications have been changed and my levels of self-confidence and self-awareness have gone up I realise my imagination and creativity is still there. 'It was at levels that were so extreme before... looking back I can remember during my manic highs I was interrupting myself with ideas.' The documentary will track his journey towards recovery and returning to work, to run his Michelin-starred restaurants The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire, and Dinner, in London, and pub The Hind's Head, also in Bray.

I bought a tiny house for £68K – I have to crawl around my bedroom but it's totally worth it & I have so much space
A YOUNG woman decided to buy a tiny home to get herself on the property ladder quickly. Bresha Jeanea took to social media to show off her new tiny home but it seemed there was one flaw people couldn't get past. 4 4 4 The woman who lives in Houston, Texas, had purchased the tiny house for £68,000 and it came to her on the back of a lorry already built. The stunning home was kitted with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and a loft. But instead of using her bedroom to sleep in, Bresha decided that the loft would make more sense. The only issue is that the loft is only 3 ft 6 inches high - meaning she was unable to stand up in her bedroom. This had left millions of people on social media to ask why she even put her bed there in the first place. Bresha finally revealed why in a recent video posted to her TikTok account @ breshajeanae. She said: "I live in a tiny home and I get hundreds of questions from people asking me why I chose to make the upstairs loft area my bedroom. "For context, this is how big the bedroom is downstairs. It's very small, the bedroom is only 8 foot by 5 foot." Bresha went on to say that her queen-sized bed would barely fit inside the room, let alone her bedside table and other belongings. She then took people upstairs to the loft which she had turned into her bedroom. 4 Amazon is selling an 'insulated' tiny home for just $9,350 – it comes with 2 bedrooms and an 'enclosed' hall "Guys, this is the room upstairs. The loft area. And yes, it's not tall at all. It's only 3 foot and a couple inches tall," she explained. "But it's so big. There's so much room. As you can see, I have my queen size bed, two side tables, a dresser." She even had room for a small seating area to be put in. The loft would have been used to store Bresha's clothes and dressing table so she could get ready in the morning, But she decided to switch the spaces around so her bedroom was now her wardrobe as it made more sense to store clothes where she could actually stand up and get ready. She continued: "It just made more sense to me to have the downstairs room be my getting ready room where my vanity is and my clothes. The idea of the bed space having such a small ceiling makes me sick. TikTok user "Rather than trying to get ready upstairs because I can't fully stand up. So I would have to take my clothes, bring them downstairs to the bathroom and put them on." The clip went viral on her account @breshajeanae and people were quick to take to the comments and share their thoughts. One person wrote: "Love the logic, makes sense to me. Who's standing in their bed anyways?" Tiny Homes FAQs The tiny house movement began in the USA before gaining popularity in the UK. What is a tiny home? Tiny houses are small, fully-equipped living spaces designed to lead a more sustainable, off-grid lifestyle. Although they vary in size and shape, tiny homes tend to be between 15 and 50 square metres in capacity, made of sustainable materials and are easier — and cheaper — to maintain than traditional brick homes. Are tiny homes legal in the UK? As long as the tiny house doesn't exceed 19.8m x 6.7m in size, it is defined as a caravan in UK law. Therefore, tiny houses are classed as legal additional living space. Can you get a mortgage for a tiny home? The small size and relatively low cost of tiny houses means they're not generally considered eligible for a mortgage. However, there are plenty of options to take out a loan to fund your dreams of the perfect, moveable home. Another commented: 'I could not do this I'm so claustrophobic." "I 100% support this. You're sleeping or sitting up there, you're not doing cardio up there, people need to relax," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I know it's not my house but my brain likes the loft space being the room. Love the living room area and then the windows either side. I'd love waking up to sunlight in the morning seems far less claustrophobic too." "The idea of the bed space having such a small ceiling makes me sick but I'm glad it works for you I see the appeal,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'It looks so nice, I just get claustrophobic being close to the roof."

Gianni Infantino arrives at his moment but football's response is coming
Gianni Infantino doesn't tend to use notes, so his addresses at Friday's official dinner for the Club World Cup in Miami will likely be off the cuff. He does have a personal charm, which will be deployed to full effect as he greets the US political hierarchy. Infantino already knows many from his visits to Mar-a-Lago, just an hour away. As of Thursday evening, there were no firm plans to greet the less celebrated figures of the media, for the type of press conference he conducted on the eve of the 2022 World Cup. We can probably guess how Infantino 'feels', either way. The perma-smile in his excitable Instagram feed says enough. This is Infantino's moment. This is his tournament. There has never been a football competition so anchored to one man, in the way this Club World Cup is. Infantino's 'dream', to quote insiders, is being realised. This is what he has wanted since rising to president in 2016, after the US state investigations that ended the Sepp Blatter era. Fifa is not just back in the country a decade after that, but essentially in partnership with the Donald Trump administration. Infantino even dutifully dismissed any 'concerns' about ICE agents attending Club World Cup games to probe supporters. That informs an argument that the Republican government has made the US the least welcoming of any modern host to fans, but Fifa have little to say on this. 'I don't have any concerns about anything,' Infantino stated when asked about the security issue. Why would he? Infantino will no doubt feel like 'the king of soccer' right now, to quote his friend, Trump. Many in the game are eagerly awaiting what superlatives the US president will bestow on 'Johnny' this weekend, if only for the sketch-show element of it all. Elon Musk might have gone from Trump's side but Infantino is still there. Trump's words, however, are likely to deviate from a more common description in the game over the past few weeks. That is that Infantino certainly seems far more concerned with actually coming across as a 'king of soccer', than the president of all 211 football associations, who he is supposed to serve as a priority of his role. It certainly didn't look like that at his own federation's Congress in Paraguay, when the Fifa president arrived late - missing numerous official appointments - because he was in Saudi Arabia with Trump. That only made for the latest example of Infantino brazenness, in-keeping with many decisions for the staging of the Club World Cup, like how Lionel Messi's Inter Miami controversially qualified. Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin and his Executive Committee were so incensed by the disrespect in Paraguay that they staged a walk-out, albeit one that was walked back a few days later. They stated it was an 'isolated' protest, as sources privately insist they just didn't want a full-blown conflict between the two federations. Far more relevant might still have been Uefa's official statement on the day of Infantino's arrival, which is understood to have been crafted by more established figures in the confederation. Infantino was directly criticised for prioritising 'private political interests'. If nothing else, it is a weighty phrase to introduce to football's public record, especially since it directly comes from one of the major bodies. It also brings into the public domain what many senior figures have been saying in private. They maintain that what we are seeing is not just the evolution of the game due to market forces, but the conscious selling-off of football, to far greater forces. 'It's really the story of our time,' one source says. Large sections of Fifa, Uefa and the wider game are getting increasingly frustrated with how so many decisions are taken above their heads, affording little debate or input. The nexus of interests that the Club World Cup represents seems such a clear example. The idea might initially have been noble, but there has been considerable political agitation about its implementation. You only have to look at how the actual US Soccer federation has been completely sidelined, from both this and the 2026 World Cup. It was why the late arrival at Congress was so symbolic, not least because Fifa and the game are supposed to belong to the members, who represent fans and the amateur levels. And here were Trump and Saudi Arabia placed way above all that. As one source said, it's hard to imagine Infantino doing that to club owners. They're the figures he wants to be an important actor with now, having already developed an alliance with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. As ever, it's impossible to divorce this from the absurd level of power that football's executive presidents are afforded, and how it can change people. Essentially random administrators - 'some guy', to quote many in the game - are elevated to a sphere they could never have imagined. The most remarkable thing is that this structure remained in place even after the 2015 upheaval. A joint statement by NGOs, academics, whistleblowers and supporters groups on that anniversary even argued it has got worse, stating 'Fifa is arguably more poorly governed today than a decade ago'. And yet some of this is about Infantino himself. He was supposed to be the great reformer, bringing a hands-off presidency, only to be even more hands on. While Infantino was seen as a highly competent general secretary at Uefa, the consensus is that there was always an ego there. The role has accelerated a change that would happen to most people. The wonder is whether this moment will bring everything too far. FairSquare already talk of how 'he's turned Fifa into an elite PR machine for authoritarian states'. The Club World Cup could even be construed as a medium-term alternative to the Champions League for the Saudi Pro League, that is a disruptor for the sport. Infantino meanwhile doesn't address these issues anywhere, other than meaningless doublespeak about how 'football will unite the world'. His most prominent media appearance in the build-up to the Club World Cup was with YouTuber IShowSpeed - where he managed to aggravate Cristiano Ronaldo's camp for revealing transfer tittle-tattle. The image is of a figure who 'just doesn't care', but concern is consequently growing in the game. Members of the Fifa Council are worried. A rump is growing in Europe, despite Uefa being seen as having 'bottled it' after the quick climbdown from the Paraguay statement. Even in England, senior football figures are trying to point all of this out to politicians, who are otherwise concerned whether Fifa will see the independent regulator as political interference. 'Gianni himself thinks he's in some triumvirate with Trump and Mohammed bin Salman,' one source says. They surely don't. He's subjecting himself to bigger powers. Other senior figures are beginning to consider challenging him for the 2027 elections, or even persuading people like Nasser Al-Khelaifi or Javier Tebas to be potential candidates. That's all for the future, though. Right now, this is the moment Infantino has waited for.
