JoJo Siwa ‘Never Imagined' Being This Close to BF Chris Hughes: ‘It's Really Hard Because People Tear It Apart'
JoJo Siwa has been on a real rollercoaster ride over the past month. The reality dance star turned pop singer went from having her honor defended by housemate Chris Hughes on Celebrity Big Brother UK after homophobic comments from actor Mickey Rourke to breaking up with then-partner Kath Ebbs at the show's wrap party and then partnering up with Hughes. Now, reunited with Billboard's Tetris Kelly — he of the infamous 'Gay Pop' interview — Siwa says '30 days ago I would have never even imagined I'd be friends with Chris Hughes,' calling their now-official relationship 'the weirdest' idea. But, the heart wants what it wants, and, as of this week, the couple are Instagram official and appear to be inseparable. More from Billboard JoJo Siwa Goes Bed Selfie Official With 'Celebrity Big Brother' Cast Mate Chris Hughes: 'Not Platonic Anymore' Kneecap Announce Massive Wembley Arena Headline Show Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR Announce '$ome $pecial $hows 4 U.K.' Tour Dates In the episode of 'Take Us Out' recorded at Burbank Priscilla's (watch the full video above), JoJo says that Hughes is now the closest person in her life, someone she would 'die for… when someone comes into your life and you enjoy it, you can tell.' That said, Kelly wondered how it's felt for Siwa to be figuring out her sexuality in front of the whole world. 'It's really hard because people tear it apart,' she says of her full embrace of queer life. 'I understand if you have no context why people tear things apart… there's people going through this same thing that I'm going through. There's somebody who's identified as one sexuality and then maybe had this realization within themselves but they don't now feel they can't change or grow.' Siwa says she felt like she was being placed in a box she wasn't meant to be in when she came out. 'I've dated beautiful women, I've date beautiful non-binary people, I have dated men… but I realize that's just who I am. I realize for myself that I just like humans.' Siwa also touches on her excitement in the run-up to her 22-date An Unforgettable Night Out summer tour, which kicks off on July 10 in Houston, TX. 'I'm an adult now, which is crazy,' says Siwa, 22, about her first outing in three years and first one as a legal grown up. 'There's elements in this show that make it a lot different than just a typical concert,' she explains about the show that will mix her songs with bits about her time on Dance Moms, funny sketches and JoJo the Bilbo references. She made a point of addressing that flap over the $900 'Dream Guest VIP' ticket offer, in which she told fans they would get to help her 'build the set' for the show. 'People did take that as actual building the set,' she says, making a wrenching motion. If you want to carry props out on stage, JoJo says that's fine, but that's not what she intended. 'The point was people are going to get to have their say in what we actually do that night,' she clarifies about allowing four die hards at each stop help put together that night's set list. In a vulnerable moment, Siwa talked about the trepidation she felt before releasing her March single 'Bulletproof,' in which she publicly embraced her queerness. 'Music is probably the thing I'm most insecure about,' she says. 'I think a lot of people have a lot of things to say and I think I've also done some things that have fueled that fire… it's vulnerable. And now it has put me in a place where I don't like to say I'm a singer.' She recalls opening up about that fear on Big Brother, where she proclaimed that she 'can't sing, but I can release a song. And I can make a point' while casually teasing that she's working on her first-ever full length album with her favorite production team, Rock Mafia. She admits that she's dying to be on the hit Peacock competition show The Traitors, while simultaneously pitching her own reality show starring all her best pals from previous gigs on Dancing With the Stars, Special Forces and Big Brother. Watch JoJo talk about 'Bulletproof,' 'Fighter,' balancing stage JoJo vs. real life JoJo and her tangled love life in the video above.

Paige Drummond's ‘Dreamy' Honeymoon Photos Will Melt Your Heart
A little over two weeks after getting married in Oklahoma, Paige Drummond-Andersen and David Andersen went on a honeymoon to Costa Rica. She shared some fun pictures of their adventures on Instagram. And to make the vacation even dreamier, several members of the Drummond clan—including Paige's mother, Ree—commented! Read on to see pictures from Paige's honeymoon and discover the passport problem that almost stopped them from getting there. On Sunday, June 1, Paige, age 25, posted a variety of photos of her and her new husband, David, on the beaches of Costa Rica with the caption being 'photo dump! Pura vida!!' The snapshots included them golfing, eating, drinking, going on a boat ride, stargazing and of course, sunbathing. Following that initial posting, Paige's mother, Ree Drummond, a.k.a. The Pioneer Woman, her sister and brother joined in on the conversation and shared their love and support for the newlyweds. 'DREAMY!!! Welcome home, you two. Now the real fun begins,' Ree commented. While Alex, Paige's older sister, wrote, 'FAB but so glad you're in Dallas now.' Paige's younger brother, Bryce, also chimed in, writing, 'Love the yella' on the carousel of photos. It was the first time Paige had posted since her wedding day in May. Just a few days after their wedding, Paige and her husband David were getting ready to leave for their honeymoon when they discovered that he no longer had his passport. 'We were supposed to leave on Monday morning, but David's passport actually dropped off the face of the earth,' Paige wrote on her Instagram story in May. Thankfully, the universe was looking out for the newlyweds because according to the youngest Drummond daughter, 'he got one in less than 24 hours' thanks to the Dallas passport agency. 'An eventful first 48 hours of marriage to say the least,' Paige joked. The Pioneer Woman herself also poked fun at the incident, saying, "I gave Paige a 100% guarantee that the second she was lying on the beach on their honeymoon, she'd laugh about this wrinkle," according to her website. Ree has been married to her husband Ladd since 1996, and they have four kids together. They also recently became grandparents after their eldest child, Alex, welcomed her daughter, Sophia, with her husband, Mauricio Scott, in December 2024. Since then, Ree and Alex have shared several photos of baby Sofia, and they have also shared a ton of photos of Paige's bridal journey, including things like dress shopping, bridal parties and of course the actual wedding. 'Nothing sweeter than watching my sister marry the man of her dreams,' Alex wrote on Instagram in May. 'Welcome to the fam, Dave!' As of publication, Alex and Paige are the only Drummond children who have gotten married. For more Drummond content, keep scrolling!
