JoJo Siwa looks shocked when bluntly asked about 'boyfriend' Chris Hughes
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video JoJo Siwa shared a fumbling response when bluntly asked on Lorraine if Chris Hughes was her boyfriend. The Celebrity Big Brother star, 22, appeared on the ITV daytime chat show to promote her new music video, Bulletproof and shows in London this week in a chaotic chat with host Andi Peters. JoJo and Love Island star Chris have been getting cosy since leaving the house with the pair seemingly hard-launching their relationship after being spotted kissing in Mexico, buying flowers and meeting the family. Although neither has outright said they are now officially dating, Andi attempted to get to the bottom of it on Monday's episode of Lorraine as he asked: 'Your boyfriend….?' JoJo was clearly taken aback at Andi's straightforward question and immediately said: 'No,' as she laughed and proclaimed: 'It's so funny to me how straight up people get nowadays. Andi attempted to backtrack adding: 'Oh no that's just me,' and said: 'your boy friend, friend who is a boy' as JoJo continued to laugh.

'We haven't even said who you are speaking about yet but I think we can assume,' she teased. After Andi clarified it was Chris, he continued needling her relationship status by asking if she had had the Love Island treatment by being pulled into the kitchen and asked if they could go exclusive. After laughing some more, she replied: 'Christopher and I have had a lot of chats [but] we've never gone into the kitchen and said 'my head's not turning any way'. We've never had that portion of a chat.' And when Andi joked that Chris is letting us down, JoJo was quick to defend him, concluding: 'Chris is doing the further thing from letting us down, he couldn't let me down if he tried Elsewhere in the chat, JoJo revealed more about Chris' surprise visit to her family for her birthday and the story behind the 'discount flowers' that he brought her which have ended up in a blender bowl. As the interview wrapped up, JoJo laughed again at the chaotic nature of the chat, declaring that she 'loves the UK' while Andi thanked her for taking the conversation in her stride. Earlier this week, she appeared on NBC TV where she hailed her CBB experience as 'the best thing I have ever done'. Then, when probed on being caught in the act with Chris, she laughed: 'It was funny to see that on camera.' On her way back to the UK, JoJo shared her journey on TikTok with Chris' orange beanie pride of place on her head. Having also shared the clip on TikTok – where JoJo boasts 45.9million followers – she echoed in the caption: 'My heart is so full and smiling so big 🤍' It didn't take long for Chris to appear in the comments, writing sweetly: 'Make sure you sleep on the flight'. More Trending All in all, fans believes it's been all but confirmed that the pair is dating – and that it's inevitable they'll go official sooner rather than later. JoJo broke up with her partner Kath Ebbs at the wrap party for CBB after growing closer and closer with Chris over the nearly-three weeks they were on the show together. Since then they have seemed almost inseparable, jetting out to see each other and spending time with one another's friends and families. View More » Lorraine airs on weekdays at 9am on ITV.

He is meant to be in my life and I don't know, he's just, he is Chris,' the 'Bulletproof' singer shared. 9 JoJo Siwa visits the New York Post on May 13, 2025.

'It taught me so much about myself. It showed me how I want my life to be and things I need to do in my life. And it also just was so fun. But coming out of the house — immediately you go to this party with 200 people and it's all the crew. It's crazy, it's a whirlwind.' 'But even now I go to the store and I'm like, 'Oh my God, there's so many options.' It's fascinating the things that are different,' she said. 'And it's fascinating the things that are similar.'

JoJo Siwa reacts to ex Kath Ebbs' bombshell podcast with cryptic post after they shared their thoughts on her close bond with Chris Hughes
JoJo Siwa has responded to her ex Kath Ebbs' comments about their split with a cryptic TikTok post. The dancer, 21, dumped the activist, 27, just hours after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house last month, after setting tongues wagging about her close bond with Love Island hunk Chris Hughes. Kath broke their silence on the split in a new episode of their podcast, breaking down in tears before sharing insight into the moment JoJo ended their relationship. But JoJo, who is set to release her new song Bulletproof on Friday, appeared to brush off Kath's criticism with a cryptic TikTok post. The post showed a trio of photos, including two of JoJo as a child on the reality series Dance Moms, breaking down in tears after being criticised by dance coach Abbey Lee Miller. The two images were captioned with the words: 'The storm keeps on raging, but don't you forget...' The post then continued to show a snap of JoJo out and about in New York just a day earlier, while promoting her new song, with the caption that finished her message with the words: 'God's not done with you yet.' JoJo captioned the post: 'Many ups and downs still to this day, but being the happiest I've been in all 21 years means everything has been right on track for this life journey.' During her time on CBB, JoJo set tongues wagging when she formed a close friendship with Love Island star Chris Hughes, with the pair's tactile behaviour raising eyebrows, given her relationship with Kath at the time. After leaving the house last month, JoJo immediately broke up with Kath at the CBB wrap party, but has gone onto insist Chris was not to blame, and their relationship is strictly platonic. In the 90-minute interview, Kath offered their reasons behind posting a 13-minute TikTok video revealing they had been dumped by JoJo, and the dancer's fury over it. Kath also shared their own thoughts on Chris, blasting his 'lukewarm' reaction to Mickey Rourke's inappropriate comments towards JoJo, and saying he hasn't 'taken responsibility' for his behaviour in the house. Detailing the story behind the end of their relationship, Kath shared that were convinced to attend the CBB final by their family, despite suffering a 'meltdown' when they first saw a clip of Chris and JoJo cuddling in bed together. They said that at the time they were struggling with the anniversary of their close friend's death, and stopped watching the show after seeing that initial clip. The dancer captioned the post with a message reflecting on her 'ups and downs' and said she's 'the happiest she's ever been' Kath added they decided against appearing on camera during the CBB final, to 'protect the sacredy of their relationship.' They said: 'As soon as she was off camera, the welfare team took her straight to the room that I was in because I watched it on TV, but I was just in a room. We hugged and we said, ''oh my God hi...' 'We hugged, we kissed... we just, like, held each other for ages. And I think I was crying. 'And then I did say at one point, ''are we good like this?'' And she was like, ''yeah.'' 'And then I was like, great, and then we kissed, she was obviously like very spun out. She'd just been in this crazy thing.' While Kath was torn whether or not to attend the wrap party, they later decided to attend, and was stunned when JoJo sensationally ended their relationship. Kath went onto claim that they had been speaking to the CBB welfare team during the final and its aftermath, but alleged their words were being fed back to JoJo, including the fact they didn't want to meet Chris. Asked for her thoughts on Chris and JoJo's friendship, Kath said she feels their relationship is 'platonic,' but claimed the reality star hasn't 'taken responsibility' for his tactile behaviour in the house. Kath said there was a 'slight truth' to JoJo's claims they swore at her during the wrap party, but went onto reveal they then had a private five-hour conversation back at the hotel, where the Dance Moms star shared her reasons for ending their relationship. Admitting they were 'hurt' by JoJo's response, and with the support of loved ones, they then proceeded to post their 13-minute video announcing the split, which quickly went viral on social media. Kath then shared that JoJo was quick to contact them over the video, admitting Chris was 'upset' by it. The star had stated in a previous interview she had no idea Kath would post a video claiming they'd been dumped. Kath said: 'JoJo texted me, and said Chris was upset, and she texted me and she said that I had dragged Chris into it, which I thought was a bit hilarious. 'It's like Chris dragged himself into it when he said referred to you as his girlfriend on a show and said that he would kiss you. But that's OK. 'I said you have just dumped me and this is the first thing you text me. I'm pretty f****g hurt by that. 'She was like, ''you're insinuating that I left you for Chris'' and I said ''I'm really sorry that I'm made it out like that.'' 'What I was trying to say is that essentially validating my own experience and feelings from what I watched and felt from you. 'And she kept just going, ''me and Chris are friends, me and Chris are friends.'' And I said, ''this is news to me.'' Kath added that they 'believed' JoJo when she said that she and Chris were just friends, but claimed they didn't get that impression during their five-hour chat. Since leaving the CBB house, JoJo and Chris have shown they're still in touch, with the dance star revealing earlier this week she is hoping to return to the UK 'at the end of May.' The dancer, who is set to release her new song Bulletproof on Friday, was tight-lipped on the reason for her UK return, as she shared the news in the latest episode of her Tea Time and Tea video series. She said: 'I have a little bit of tea, little bit, and I'm not supposed to talk about this so if anybody asks you I didn't talk about this. 'But I got word on London today, on going back to London, and without saying anything, I'm just going to say... end of May.' The post sparked a sea of delight from her newfound UK fanbase, who fell in love with JoJo during her stint in the CBB house. One commented: 'WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU WITH OPEN ARMS; 'Soooo if JoJo comes to London to perform - who fancies a big meet up?!!; 'Should have come back to the UK instead of NYC... should have taken that London flight when you were offered it! I've never watching CBB in my life until you were on it... now I miss it every night; 'End of May!!! The UK is so ready for you to come home, we miss Joelle!; 'Sorry I just CHOKED on my own tea ARE YOU RETURNING TO THE UK?!' JoJo shared the video after flying to New York to begin promoting her new song and its music video, which will be her first since finishing in third place on CBB last month.

She continued: 'Genuinely something I love about him so much is that he has zero ego, he's a really incredible sweet man. 'I told him this on the last night, maybe it wasn't the last night but sometime. I said you're a vital part of my life that I didn't know was missing. 'But I'm happy that I don't have to anymore. So yeah he is an awesome guy and I think he will be around for a very long time.' As the crowd wolf whistled at her response, JoJo told them to grow up. Confirming that Chris is going nowhere, she said: 'He's a keeper, we'll keep him around, we'll see.'
