He also said that their first kiss occurred after he visited her in Mexico City and met her family in Orlando. 'Our first kiss was genuinely special – it felt like I was in a movie,' he said. 'I can't keep my hands off her now!' Chris went on to reveal that he tells JoJo that he loves her "every day." "I can't explain it, but it's a safe love. It's like a natural high," he said — and if that all sounds extremely serious, well, buckle up for what I'm about to tell you next. 'I'd love to marry her,' Chris said about their future.

'We come from loving families. My mum loves her. She's my best friend. I love that she's the person I have to do nothing with and still have the best time. That's everything to me.' "I'm obsessed with her. I'd do anything for her.' We'll see where this whole deal goes next!

Chris Hughes hits back at 'gay' claims as he opens up on JoJo Siwa romance
Love Island star Chris Hughes has dished out details on his relationship with singer JoJo Siwa, addressed their age gap and hit out at rumours that their romance is fake Chris Hughes has opened up on his relationship with JoJo Siwa, revealing that the American singer gave him a "magical feeling" he hadn't experienced before. The Love Island star, 32, met JoJo, 22, on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year. At the time, JoJo was in a relationship with 27-year-old Australian actor Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary. But speculation quickly arose about Chris and JoJo, who broke up with Kath at the CBB finale party. Initially, JoJo and Chris didn't confirm their relationship but after making a number of transatlantic trips to see each other, it became obvious that they were more than friends. Chris has now spoken for the first time about their relationship, which came after he dated The Only Way Is Essex star Olivia Attwood and singer Jesy Nelson. He also had a relationship with professional golfer Annabel Dimmock but had been single since they split up in 2022. "I started to think there was no one out there for me," Chris said. He went on to explain that over the years, he had been on dates but didn't feel a spark, leading him to question himself and wonder if he had commitment issues. "Then meeting Joelle gave me this magical feeling. She is the most precious person. Life has an unexpected way of bringing two people together, and this feels like that. We were meant to cross paths. We keep saying to each other it was serendipity. Life handed me a blessing in my lap." Speaking to The Sun, Chris said he and JoJo "gravitated towards each other" while on Celeb Big Brother - but he insisted they were only friends at the beginning. However, he admitted that he began feeling "confused" about his feelings towards the end of the show and said that when JoJo flew back home to the US, she felt "upset" and he was "sad" to see her go. Chris later went to see JoJo and her family in Orlando, Florida, which he described as "the best three days of my life" - and also the time when "something fully ignited" inside of him. Chris said that was the moment he and JoJo opened up about their feelings and kissed for the first time. Gushing on JoJo, who identifies as queer, he said: "It was really special and just happened without any effort or planning. Our first kiss was genuinely special – it felt like I was in a movie. I can't keep my hands off her now! I love her skin, her eyes and her smile." He added that their age gap isn't an issue, as he confessed that although their relationship is in the early stages, he sees himself marrying the American star. The admission comes after JoJo admitted they had already discussed marriage, saying about Chris: "He is my favourite person in the world … It's beautiful, it kind of radiates. He's my favourite person and I am very grateful and very happy." Chris also addressed rumours that their relationship is fake, and said criticism doesn't bother him as long as people aren't nasty. He said: "I wouldn't go to the effort of loving someone for any other reason than it being real." He added: "I've had more people call me 'gay' in the last two months of my life than ever before. But it doesn't bother me, as long as people aren't nasty, opinions are fine." He added that while he understands he may be feminine in how he does certain things, he will not change for anybody. He cries a lot and says there's not one part of him filled with toxic masculinity, and while he says some believe crying makes you 'less of a man', he won't let himself think that and says crying is his release. Earlier this month, a source said Chris is ready to "pop the question" to JoJo. "Chris is smitten. He can't believe his luck. He and JoJo have got the most lovely thing going on here. It came from nowhere but they are so in love already – it has happened so quickly," the source claimed. "Anyone who knows Chris says that they can see him popping the question at any moment – it has been a whirlwind, a fairytale. The love is real and it is wonderful for anyone who knows Chris to see. She is besotted, too, things are moving very fast."

Chris Hughes reveals intimate details of 'special' first kiss with JoJo Siwa
Chris Hughes has been spilling some serious beans on his relationship with JoJo Siwa—including intimate details of their first kiss. The 32-year-old Love Island star met the Dance Moms alum, 22, in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year, where they quickly formed a close, tactile friendship. At the time, JoJo was dating 27-year-old Australian musician Kath Ebbs and identified publicly as a lesbian. However, she and her partner called it quits in a showdown at the CBB wrap party, with JoJo later striking up a romance with Chris, from whom she is now seemingly unable to be apart, as they frequently jet between the UK and the US to spend time together. While JoJo frequently gives a glimpse inside their relationship on her millions-strong social media platforms, it's taken a little longer for Chris to sit down for a tell-all interview. But now that he has, he isn't holding back, revealing to The Sun just when the line was crossed from platonic to romantic for him and JoJo.

Recalling their holiday to Mexico City a couple of months ago, when Chris flew out to surprise JoJo, he said he had been 'so sad' when she left to go back to the States. 'We were just friends at that stage, but we were talking all the time. I was missing her, and I felt like I needed to see her,' he confessed. While on the trip, Chris realised that he was experiencing happiness 'from the minute [he] woke up until [he] went to bed,' which prompted the flick of the switch. 'It was at that moment something fully ignited inside me.' After they both opened up about their feelings for one another, they shared a smooch, which Chris says was 'really special'. 'Our first kiss was genuinely special—it felt like I was in a movie. I can't keep my hands off her now!', he said.

'She's the last person I speak to at night and the first I speak to when I wake up,' he said. 'I can't explain it, but it's a safe love. It's like a natural high.' The TV personality went on to shut down critics of their blossoming romance, having even started thinking about his wedding day with JoJo, more than proving he's in it for the long run. Asked his response to those accusing him of clout-chasing and publicising a 'fake' relationship, a defiant Chris declared: 'I don't care. 'I wouldn't go to the effort of loving someone for any other reason than it being real.' Having spent the last eight years in showbiz, he's learned to 'adapt' to facing criticism, with the attention directed his way in recent months only making him 'stronger mentally'. 'I've had more people call me 'gay' in the last two months of my life than ever before,' he added. 'But it doesn't bother me—as long as people aren't nasty, opinions are fine. 'I may be feminine in the way I do things, but I wouldn't change the way I am for anything.' As for JoJo, who calls Chris 'my sweet Christopher,' this is her first public relationship with a man. Chris insists that 'love is love,' and since JoJo now resonates more with the label 'queer', she is 'still part of the LGBTQ+ community'. What's more, he firmly denies ever trying to 'change' JoJo, or even wanting to. 'Sexuality can be fluid, and you should be able to love who you want without judgement.' More Trending Chris's comments come after JoJo reacted to pregnancy rumours online, after fans noticed he had been stroking her tummy in videos. Adding fuel to the fire, JoJo used being pregnant as one of her 'two truths, one lie' options in a recent TikTok, noting that 'a couple of things needed to be addressed'. The other two listed were that she has never smoked a cigarette and that she'd be releasing a new song this week. While some believe the pregnancy thing still has legs, others realised it was simply a witty marketing ploy for her latest single, which is a cover of Bette Davis Eyes. Got a story?
