After weeks of speculation, it looks like JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are ready to go public.
In a brand new picture acquired by The Sun, the Celebrity Big Brother alums were seen kissing while on holiday together, sharing a kiss while lounging on a lili at an adults-only hotel in Mexico. “JoJo and Chris looked very loved-up and as they snogged in full view of other holidaymakers,” a source said. “They spent their time at the hotel holding hands and looked like a giddy couple in the early throes of love. It was nice to see.
“They were very hands on, not entirely different to how they were on TV just a bit more intimate.”
The news comes after JoJo, 22, and Chris, 32, appeared to hard launch their relationship on Instagram.
Chris shared a carousel of images, with the caption: “The previous 7 days have been the prettiest..” leading fans to assume they were now officially dating.
Chris and JoJo grew close while in the CBB house last month. The pair could often be seen cuddling or joking with one another, which made viewers wonder whether they could be more than just friends.
JoJo was in a relationship with Australian content creator Kath Ebbs at the time, but she ended things as soon as the series ended. Since then, JoJo and Chris maintained that things between them are purely “platonic.” So, it's not exactly clear whether or not JoJo and Chris are officially dating, but the evidence is piling up.
Below, are all the clues that JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are now together.
Chris Jetted overseas for JoJo's 22nd birthday
To celebrate JoJo's 22nd birthday, Chris, 32, headed Stateside, and he shared a carousel of cute photos on his Instagram to mark the special occasion.
"The previous 7 days have been the prettiest.." he wrote alongside the gallery of images, complete with a smiley face and birthday cake emoji.
The first photo showed the pair seated in what appeared to be an airport as JoJo rested her head on Chris' shoulder and clutched his arm.
Another photo saw the duo wrapping their arms around one another and sharing some intimate hugs as they spent quality time together.
“This has to be a hard launch,” one fan commented on the images, as Megan McKenna wrote: “Erm. Obsessed with you both.”
“Seriously guys… just announce you're in a relationship please. You two are so cute together,” another said.
Baecation?
The carousel of photos uploaded by Chris also included pics of the pair cuddling and in a swimming pool as they visited both Mexico and Florida.
“You look so happy,” Vicky Pattison wrote in the comments.
“If you guys come out and say you’re still just friends after this, my heart is gonna break,” another person said.
Could this be the duo's first ever baecation?
Chris met JoJo's family and friends
During the birthday trip, Chris met some of JoJo's closest friends and family and can be seen posing with them in the photos, leading fans to think that things could be getting serious between them.
I mean, you don't just introduce anyone to your nearest and dearest, do you?
Social media PDA
After Chris posted the carousel for JoJo's birthday, JoJo left a very telling comment under the post.
“& happiest :). Heart is overflowing,” she said alongside a white-heart emoji, leading fans to think that the post was more than just another social media dump.
“This is a love like no other Joelle, I’m so happy for you both,” one person responded to JoJo's comment.
“You deserve each other two kind souls,” another wrote alongside a heart emoji.
Following their CBB experience, Chris shared a carousel of images, which included one of him and JoJo on a tennis court as the lead photo.
“This dump comes with a message of gratitude for everyone’s love and support over the past month. Lots of amazing memories, and an experience of a lifetime I shall keep close to my heart. Thank you so much for some really sweet messages the past week, I appreciate them a lot and they gave me a feeling to be thankful for,” he said.
“Special shout out to everyone in the house, you made the ride a journey, friendships to last a lifetime, you all know who you are! So many moments to cherish.”
Of course, all this is conjecture until the JoJo and Chris officially confirm that they are dating, but so far it looks like a pretty safe bet. Congrats to the happy couple!
