JoJo Siwa gushes that Chris Hughes is 'the brightest light in her life' and reveals HUGE step he has taken with her family - admitting 'they've never loved anyone as much as him'
The couple cemented their relationship in May after meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother house in April, and have since documented their loved-up trips together on social media.
And on Tuesday, JoJo shared an update on her relationship with her man, revealing 'it's going very well'.
Appearing on Loose Women, the Dance Moms star, 22, said: 'He's the brightest light in my life, he's the thing that makes me the happiest.'
Janet Street-Porter then asked what her family thought of Chris, with JoJo revealing: 'Oh, my mum absolutely adores him.
'My dad and he are best friends, my brother just asked him to be a groomsman in his wedding.
'My family has never loved somebody like this, like ever.'
It comes after JoJo revealed her plans to start a family 'aren't that far away,' as her romance with Chris heats up.
After travelling to the UK to promote her new song Raspy, JoJo has told The Sun that she 'craves' motherhood in the future.
She was previously forced to deny speculation she was pregnant after the wild theory circulated on TikTok.
Asked whether she still wants children, she said: 'I crave them, I absolutely would love to have babies, it's absolutely in my future and I don't think it's that far away.
'I'm at a place in my life where my career by no means is slowing down, but my career is at a point where it works and it runs and I know how to do everything that I'm doing and I'm not learning anything new, so I'm at a great place with that.
'Obviously I have a great boy in my life, there's a lot of things to happen before then, but definitely want kids.'
During the interview, JoJo also hinted that she and Chris have plans for a holiday together this autumn, after the star wraps her Infinity Heart tour in October.
JoJo previously poked fun at rumours that she was pregnant in June after a loved-up TikTok video with boyfriend Chris sent fans wild with speculation.
She asked her fans to play the game '2 truths & a lie' - before she read out three statements, one being a lie and the other two being truthful.
She then said: '1. I've never smoked a [cigarette] 2. I'm pregnant 3. This song comes out on Spotify Friday.'
JoJo was playing into online speculation that she could be expecting after Chris gently rubbed his finger over her tummy during a recent TikTok video.
Fans wrote things like, 'Pregnancy craving???' as she tucked into a plate of red food.
After JoJo shared the 'two truths and a lie' video, social media users jumped to the comments to choose which option was the lie, while others applauded JoJo for nonchalantly poking fun at the pregnancy speculation.
Comments included: 'Everyone's saying it's 1 or 3, meaning everyone thinks she's pregnant; You Gonna be a Dance mom.'
'Not you addressing the pregnancy rumours in the most hilarious fashion; 'oelle not u egging on the pregnant rumors. You're too funny.'
Chris recently revealed he turned his relationship with JoJo from friendship into romance by putting his feelings down on paper.
The pair became instant friends on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year and began dating after the final.
Chris told how he went to the US to surprise JoJo for her birthday and wrote down his feelings on a piece of paper in a hotel bar in order to tell her how he really felt.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: 'I was confused about how I felt. Then I wasn't confused anymore. I knew I needed to write it down to explain to her how I was feeling.
'I went to Florida thinking "I really like this person", but I was slightly confused about the feelings. I had already written her birthday card before I flew over. I took all these presents over for her. They were fun and sentimental gifts rather than anything of monetary value.
'But the night before her birthday, I realised my feelings had changed. I told her: "I've got to go do something. I'll be back in half an hour." I went to the hotel reception and borrowed a pen and came back up to the room.'
Chris said he loved JoJo as a friend at first but his feelings began to change towards the end of the series.
Up until her relationship with Chris, JoJo had identified as a lesbian and was in a relationship with Australian influencer Kath Ebbs, although they quickly broke up after she left the Big Brother house.

Influencers like MrBeast can help plug funding gap left by aid cuts, says international charity
Major charity WaterAid says it has raised an 'unprecedented' $30 million in August thanks to partnering up with social media influencers – saying that such projects can help plug fundraising gaps left by aid cuts from the likes of the US and UK. Partnering with YouTube stars Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, and Mark Rober – who have more than 500m subscribers between them – the #TeamWater global campaign aims to raise $40 million in a month to bring clean water to two million people. The campaign has seen content creators from more 84 countries with a combined reach of two billion subscribers raising awareness of WaterAid's work, and asking viewers to donate. #TeamWater has managed to raise more than $30 million (£22m) across the first three weeks of August: An amount that WaterAid has described as 'unprecedented'. The NGO's total income for the 2023 to 2024 financial year was £90.9m, its annual report shows. According to Tim Wainwright, CEO of WaterAid UK, the campaign shows how the shifting media landscape is bringing new opportunities that NGOs must capitalise upon - particularly the fact that YouTube is now the most popular TV destination for children, according to Ofcom. 'It is essential to keep up to date on media and audiences as an organisation,' Wainwright told The Independent. 'To reach the next generation of supporters, we must meet them where they are: online, engaged and deeply invested in purpose-driven, organic storytelling.' The development sector has been reeling from funding cuts to government aid programmes by Donald Trump in the US and other countries this year, which have forced many NGOs to seriously cut back on funding for climate and health projects. The situation has been exacerbated for many groups by the fact that cost of living pressures have led to fewer people donating money to charity, and an evolving media landscape that is making it harder to reach donors via traditional means. Wainwright said that the money raised by #TeamWater could not have come at a more pressing time, given these pressures WaterAid faces on its legacy funding channels, as well as the ever-more significant impacts of climate change in the communities where WaterAid works. 'The water crisis impacts everyone, and with extreme weather patterns only making this situation worse, we need more funding from all different sources - from governments, to philanthropists, to charities,' Wainwright said. 'Water remains the most neglected area of UK aid spending, yet our research has found it's a top area of concern for the British public,' he added. 'With this fundraising campaign, it's all about inspiring and empowering a new generation to engage with an important global issue. We're truly witnessing history in the making — a new era of creator philanthropy that's redefining the future of fundraising.' #TeamWater is the third large-scale environmental campaign led by Donaldson and Rober, following on from #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas, which raised over $50 million to plant 20 million trees and remove 30 million pounds of trash from oceans and rivers worldwide. The campaign features videos from the deserts of Colombia to the mangrove forests of Bangladesh, where content creators are raising awareness of the pervasiveness of water insecurity. 'We've seen the power of the internet when it rallies behind a cause, from planting millions of trees to removing millions of pounds of trash from the ocean,' said Donaldson and Rober in a joint statement. 'Now, we're taking on clean water, because no one should have to live without it.' WaterAid currently works in 22 different countries, setting up systems to deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene for communities. Since 1981, the charity has brought clean water to 28.9m people, brought decent toilets to 29.2 million people, and good hygiene to 28.7 million people. However, some 703m people continue to lack clean water close to home, while 2 billion people, or one in four globally, lack the ability to wash their hands with soap and water at home. #TeamWater is aiming to raise a total of $40m by 31 August, which should be able to provide clean water to some 2 million people worldwide.
