JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes Turn Up the Heat with PDA in London
Great, just what we needed: fresh paparazzi snaps of JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes locking lips in broad daylight. The pop sensation-turned-YouTube star and her Dancing on Ice partner-turned-romantic interest were caught smooching near Covent Garden last weekend, and the internet is predictably losing its mind. I don’t *want* to care about these staged affection photos, but here we are, so let me break down the headline-grabbing highlights for you.
It all went down on Saturday afternoon, May 4th, when photogs from E! Online cornered the couple in matching sporty-chic ensembles. Siwa, 21, rocked her signature bow (yes, still attached), a cropped white hoodie, and ripped denim shorts, while Hughes, 30, leaned into casual-cool vibes with a black bomber jacket and distressed jeans. Eyewitnesses told People Magazine that the pair “didn’t seem to notice” the flashing cameras—they were all about cheek kisses, hand-holding, and whispering sweet nothings. I told you so: relationship goals are basically a paparazzi prop.
Sources confirm this PDA wasn’t a one-off. According to an insider quoted by People, Siwa and Hughes have been “seeing each other exclusively since late March,” though they’ve kept a low profile between rehearsals and recording studio sessions. E! Online adds that the duo attended a private after-party for Dancing on Ice at The Savoy earlier that evening, where they “couldn’t keep their hands off each other,” per partygoers. So much for “just friends,” right?
Before you roll your eyes at another whirlwind celebrity romance, note that Siwa’s rep issued a statement on Sunday clarifying that these “public moments” are simply two adults enjoying downtime together. Meanwhile, Hughes’ team reminded gossip outlets that he’s “more interested in choreography than courting headlines,” which is about as convincing as a cardboard cutout on a windy day.
Speculation is swirling online: some fans on Twitter praise the couple’s “cute energy,” while others accuse them of orchestrating press-friendly photo ops. But neither party has addressed the rumor mill directly, and I’m not holding my breath for a tearful Instagram confession. After all, if their Malibu mansion views aren’t enough, a little extra publicity never hurts.
Whether this PDA parade marks the start of a long-term pairing or just another tabloid fling remains to be seen. But trust me, when one shoot wraps, another craving for viral moments kicks off. Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
