gave a gushing four-word message to JoJo Siwa on Sunday as they celebrated a special day together.
The dancer, 22, and Love Island star, 32, finally confirmed that they were dating earlier this week following weeks of frenzied speculation, with the couple travelling to the Cotswolds on Tuesday to meet his family.
And over the weekend Chris told JoJo: 'You blow my mind every day' in a video posted to her Instagram Stories.
As she shouted out to some of her nearest and dearest to mark National Best Friend's Day, she ended with a clip of her and Chris.
She captioned the post: 'My bestest friend of em all' followed by a white love heart emoji.

Over the weekend they enjoyed time in the Cotswolds as JoJo shared snaps of them holding hands together on Chris' family farm.
She penned in the caption: 'Nothing beats wholesome & pure days like these.'
It comes after earlier this week JoJo revealed the moment her bond with boyfriend Chris blossomed from friendship to romance.
JoJo and Chris had originally formed a close friendship while meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother house in April, but the Dance Moms star has now revealed her feelings for him changed when she returned home to the US.
Speaking on Gyles Brandreth's Rosebud podcast, JoJo shared insight into the beginning of her bond with Chris, gushing that she was 'lucky' he felt the same way about her.
JoJo also shared her plans to get a matching tattoo with Chris, as well as inks paying tribute to her time in the CBB house.
Asked what first attracted her to Chris, JoJo said: 'When he first walked in, he was the only person that I knew what they looked like before coming into the show. I was ''Oh that's the Chris guy''.
'Initially the first thing that I took in about him was he was a good hugger. I liked his hug. That felt like a nice embrace. And he smelt good – 'he seems cool'.
'We just kind of bonded right away and it started very much so as friends.
'I wasn't looking to fall for him. He wasn't looking to fall for me. We just were having so much fun together. Whenever one of us was down it was the other one of us that helped.
'Everybody got to see when he was there for me at the beginning. There was a day – it was Easter – and he was having a really, really rough day.
'And he was in the diary room for a really long time and I was freaking out, because I was like 'Something's wrong'.
'Everyone was like 'calm down', and I was like 'No, something's wrong'.
'And he came out of the diary room and he was like 'I had a stomach ache'. And I looked at him and I was like 'you're not good'. And I just gave him a hug.
'We had a talk and he really opened up and he wasn't ok, he really wasn't ok. I was able to be there for him. We had more fun than I've ever had in my life in that house.'
Reflecting on when she left the CBB house, JoJo added: 'Leaving the house, you're in this bubble of Big Brother, so leaving the house I wasn't sure what was going to happen.
'But I had all these realisations of my life, things that I wasn't happy (about), that I was being ok with that I should never have been ok with. ''I'm not happy, so I need to handle things'', and I did very quickly once I got out of the house.
'Then over a little bit of time I realised that I started to feel something for Christopher that I never intended, but I couldn't not feel.
'And I'm a very, very lucky girl because he was feeling the same thing.'
'We were watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire? And the answer to the winning question was serendipity and somebody replied 'and do you know what serendipity is, it's you and JoJo'.
'And we googled it and both of us freaked out because that was the million dollar question.
'The word serendipity is Christopher and I's favourite word now. If you read the definition of it, it's essentially finding love when you're least looking for it. It's beautiful. I don't know how the universe did align for Chris to come into my life.'
Sharing that she hopes her relationship with Chris will 'last a lifetime,' JoJo then shared her plans to get a matching tattoo with him, with a nod to the ring that he gave her in the CBB house, which she wears on a necklace.
She told Gyles: 'The Chris tattoo, I said in Big Brother that I would get this bamboo stick. And I said that I would get a little bamboo stick tattoo, and I want to get two other tattoos from the Big Brother house of memories that I have from in there.
'I would get that because as much as that relates to Chris, I can deem it not bad luck by placing more on Big Brother.'
Despite jetting to Mexico to surprise her for her 22nd birthday last month, proceeding to mark the milestone with the singer and her family in Orlando, and later sharing a steamy bedroom selfie, JoJo played coy about their relationship status until earlier this week.
A source also previously told DailyMail.com that Chris also seems to have received the seal of approval from JoJo's parents, Jessalynn and Tom, who are not believed to have any qualms with the ten-year age gap.
'Her parents are all in for JoJo's happiness and see Chris as someone very special and are eager to see where it all goes,' the insider said.
'They fully support their daughter's decision. JoJo has grown up before our eyes, and will jump into things with both feet, so her friends aren't surprised that she is acting this way with Chris.
'No one is talking about the age gap or if they are rushing into things. Everyone just wants to see JoJo happy.'
JoJo, who reunited with Chris in the UK last week, is so happy she may mention her new man in new music.
The insider added: 'She has been thinking of writing songs about her relationship with Chris.'
In a recent interview with Sunday Brunch, JoJo fought back tears as she shared how her parents 'think the absolute world of Chris.'
She said: '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!'
On Monday, JoJo finally confirmed that she and Chris were in a relationship, following weeks of speculation.
While JoJo has been grilled many times on her relationship status, she had been noticeably coy, simply branding Chris her 'favourite person in the world.'
But in an interview with Capital Radio, JoJo confirmed that she and Chris have made their relationship official, and she's started calling him her boyfriend.
Speaking in a video for the channel's new series Capital Buzz, the dancer admitted that she's had to explain her viral 'Dream guest on my podcast' moment to Chris.
She then added: 'I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes.'
In an earlier interview with The Guardian, JoJo gushed about her blossoming romance with Chris.
She said: 'It's not platonic any more, and 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.'
On Sunday, Chris sent fans into a frenzy when he shared a steamy bedroom snap with JoJo on Snapchat.
The Dance Moms star had been coy when asked about the exact moment she developed feelings for Chris.
Speaking during a Q&A with fans at Pineapple Dance Studios on Saturday, she said: 'Loads of different times, loads of different times on different levels. I'm very very happy where we are currently, obviously, I mean I literally smile every single second of every single day now.
'One of personal biggest frustrations in my life now is that I actually don't know, I genuinely don't know, and I've spoken to him about it, I've spoken to my mom about it, I don't know the moment that it,' before snapping her fingers.
She added: 'It was never like a light switch happened, it was just... you know what I mean? And so I genuinely don't know! It's serendipity!'
Last week, JoJo took to Instagram to reflect on her London shows, admitting she has never felt so 'content and happy,' and described her first few days in the UK as 'the perfect time with perfect people in a perfect place'.
Chris had attended JoJo's first show in London the previous night, but the star admitted he couldn't attend Tuesday's performance.
Instead, she brought along the orange beanie he'd given her while in the house, after she caught Chris singing one of her hits while she was still asleep.
She told the audience: 'This morning I woke up and all I heard was [sings Nobody Can Change me] he was singing, so I figured today I'd bring a little bit of him while I sing this next song.'As the show came to a close, JoJo wept at the crowd's reception, telling her fans that after once feeling she was 'one of the most hated people in the world,' she felt 'so special and so loved'.

Snoop Dogg plans to open burger truck at iconic UK football stadium - and even wants to serve fans himself
Snoop Dogg plans to open a burger truck at an iconic UK football stadium. American rapper, 53, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, has taken an interest in Celtic Park - the home of Scottish Premiership team Celtic, in the Parkhead area of Glasgow. World away from his California roots - Snoop has spoken in the past of his love for the team saying he was inspired by Ryan Reynolds' transformation of Wrexham. He has told The Sunday Mail: 'I would love to bring a pop-up burger [van] to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. 'It's got to be Celtic Park, man. The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.' He cheekily added: 'Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss.' He also claims to have spoken to famous chef Gordon Ramsay about the possible business opportunity. Last October Snoop revealed his plans to invest in Celtic, taking inspiration from Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The Hollywood duo took over Welsh side Wrexham for just short of £2million in November 2020, when they were in the fifth tier of English football and had been for nearly 15 years. But they earned promotion to League Two two seasons later in winning the National League, and they secured a consecutive promotion the year after to take their spots in League One. And it seems the club's owners' work is rubbing off on millionaire rapper Snoop Dogg. Speaking to the Daily Record, the 53-year-old, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, has outlined his desire to become involved with sport, and in particular Celtic. 'I love what Ryan has done with Wrexham,' he said. 'It's just a great story. 'Investing in a sports team has been something I have been looking at for a long time. 'If the chance came to invest in Celtic, I would be crazy not to take a look at it. 'I have watched so much soccer in Europe but I have never seen fans like the Celtic fans. There is something so special about them. 'There is a reason why their fans are talked about across Europe. The best players and coaches in the world tell you there is nowhere like Celtic Park and I want to be a part of that. 'Their mascot is a hound. You couldn't make that up. Snoop Dogg becomes Hoopy the Hound – that's gotta be a match made in heaven. The headlines write themselves.' Snoop has been pictured in a Celtic shirt in the past, also saying the club are 'his boys' in a previous interview.

ANDREW PIERCE: Celebrate Mrs T! Just what would grumpy Ted say?
The feud between Ted Heath and Margaret Thatcher, who ousted him as Tory leader, was one of the most long-running and rancorous in politics. So what a nice surprise to learn that the Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation, set up to promote his memory, is to honour the Iron Lady. Next month they will mark the centenary of her birth with a tribute at the Sarah Thorne Theatre in Broadstairs, the genteel seaside resort in Kent where Heath was born in 1925. There will be a discussion chaired by Iain Dale, who has written a new biography of her. The panel on July 20 includes John Redwood, who ran Mrs T's Downing Street policy unit, Virginia Bottomley, who served in her government, and veteran MP Roger Gale, who – as a former TV producer – advised the Iron Lady on how to conduct herself when parliament was televised in 1989. Steve Nallon, the voice of Maggie for Spitting Image, will also be on the panel. Michael MacManus, who worked for Heath and Thatcher, said: 'I don't think my fellow trustees ever expected to stage an event celebrating Mrs T, but I think it's a great departure.' Truss could make a dram out of a crisis Much mockery of 49-day PM Liz Truss after she promoted an Irish whiskey brand alongside bare-knuckle fighter Dougie Joyce, once jailed for punching a pensioner. Sir Roderic Lyne, our former ambassador to Russia, suggests Truss might follow the example of Alec Douglas-Home after his 14 months in No 10: 'Perhaps she could take up salmon fishing like Douglas-Home. It goes down very well with a wee dram.' What a bunch of heels Labour MPs were cock-a-hoop after Prime Minister's Questions last week amid suggestions they had discovered Kemi Badenoch's 'Achilles heel'. They claimed they could see the Tory leader had forgotten to remove a 'bargain sale' label from the sole of one her shoes. Quipped one Labourite: 'She must know she's on the way out and will soon lose that nice extra salary as Opposition leader. She's already cutting back on essentials!' But is this yet another Labour dirty trick? The Tory leader's office certainly thinks so. The footwear was from M&S, said a source. And there was no such 'bargain' tag upon them. Flushed with Labour's surprise success in last week's Scottish Parliament by-election, party insiders know who to thank for victory over the SNP. 'Virtually every Labour MP came up to campaign in Hamilton. The only one who didn't was Keir Starmer – so it definitely was Keir 'wot won it',' sniped one. Labour historians noted that the Govan shipyard, where Starmer outlined his defence strategy last week, was earmarked for closure by the Heath Tory government in 1971. It was saved after a 'work-in' organised by Communist union leaders Jimmy Airlie and Jimmy Reid. Lefty Labour MPs grumble that the massive expansion in defence spending, which will benefit the Govan yard, will be paid for by trimming benefits – the sort of cuts those Communist diehards would have fought to resist. Labour MP Markus Campbell-Savours may now sport a Trotskyite beard, but he wants reform of the House of Lords to be delayed. Young Markus should perhaps have declared a family interest. His father Dale, a former Labour MP, is now a life peer. The status quo suits the Campbell-Savours family just fine. Meanwhile, peers are feathering their nests. Last week they increased their hotel expenses allowance from £103 to £125 a night. That's well above the rate of inflation.

Nick Frost reveals he's been targeted by trans activists as he prepares to work with JK Rowling after accepting role of Hagrid in HBO's Harry Potter series
Nick Frost has revealed he has been targeted by trans activists after accepting the role of Hagrid in the new HBO Harry Potter series. The actor, 53, will star as the legendary Hogwarts groundskeeper in the much-anticipated show, which is set to begin filming this summer. However after sharing the exciting announcement on Instagram, Nick revealed he was forced to turn off the comments on the post due to being swamped with criticism for collaborating with JK Rowling. The famous author, who is also serving as an executive producer of the new series, has become a vocal presence in the transgender debate. Distancing himself from Rowling's trans views, Nick told the Observer: 'She's allowed her opinion and I'm allowed mine. They just don't align in any way, shape of form.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Rowling has been vocal on the subject of trans people for several years; in 2018, a spokesperson explained that her 'like' of a tweet calling trans women 'men in dresses' had been a 'middle-aged moment'. And following the Supreme Court judgement on April 17, Rowling has consistently referred to transgender women as being 'men'. Despite turning off interaction with fans, the publication asked Nick if he believes the debate may overshadow the new series. He added: ' I don't know but maybe it shouldn't blow over? We shouldn't just hope it will go away because if makes it easier maybe we should educate ourselves.' In his announcement post, the actor posed with a classic copy of the first book in JK Rowling's series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. He is set to play the role that was made famous by veteran actor Robbie Coltrane in the original film series, before his death in 2022. Nick captioned his post: 'You're a wizard, Harry!!! 'Thank you for trusting me with such a loyal, gentle and courageous half-giant like Rubeus Hagrid. Robbie, I promise I won't let you down.' Elsewhere, critics of the Harry Potter author criticised her role as an executive producer on the show because of her views on transgender issues. HBO chiefs later defended her role, saying Rowling had a 'right to express her personal views'. In a move that's sent shockwaves of excitement across the fandom, Hollywood heavyweight John Lithgow has been announced as the new Albus Dumbledore. Janet McTeer, known for her powerhouse performances on stage and screen, will step into the sharp heels of Professor McGonagall, while rising star Paapa Essiedu takes on the darker, more complicated role of Severus Snape – a part made famous by the late Alan Rickman. The casting, which was officially announced earlier this month, forms part of HBO's hotly anticipated reboot of J.K. Rowling 's seven-book series – a full-scale, decade-long adaptation that promises to stick far more closely to the original storylines than the blockbuster films. Fans say this could be the most exciting reboot yet, with many calling the casting 'perfectly magical' and praising the diverse, inclusive approach taken by producers. Showrunner and executive producer Francesca Gardiner said: 'We are happy to announce the casting of John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, Paapa Essiedu, Nick Frost, Luke Thallon and Paul Whitehouse to play Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Hagrid, Quirrell and Filch.' Executive producer and director Mark Mylod added: 'We're delighted to have such extraordinary talent onboard, and we can't wait to see them bring these beloved characters to new life.' The new series is aims to 'lead a new generation of fandom' and hopes to recapture the beloved details Harry Potter fans have enjoyed for 25 years. It will be executive produced by Harry Potter author JK Rowling, Ruth Kenley-Letts, Neil Blair and David Heyman. Back in 2023, the Mail's Alison Boshoff revealed how Rowling would personally approve all of the key castings in the forthcoming series. The author previously said: 'Max's commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me. 'And I'm looking forward to being part of this new adaptation, which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long-form television series.'
