Chris Hughes Calls JoJo Siwa His ‘Love of His Life’ After Malibu Date Reveal
Hello, I’m Kai Montgomery, your eternally exasperated guide to celebrity oversharing. Oh, fantastic—another couple proclaiming eternal devotion as if no one’s ever sat on a couch with a partner and done absolutely nothing before.
In a recent exclusive interview with E! News, 32-year-old former Love Island contestant Chris Hughes finally admitted that 22-year-old Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa isn’t just his co-star from Celebrity Big Brother UK but indeed “the love of my life.”
Chris, who teamed up with breakfast brand Nutri-Grain for its “Not Sorry” campaign, didn’t hesitate to gush that JoJo doubles as his best friend and favorite tea-and-sofa companion. “We sit and do nothing together,” he confessed, rolling his eyes perhaps more than I would have at such sugary declarations.
Despite confirming their romance back in June, the duo waited months before labeling any outing an actual date. According to Chris, they were so busy bonding over Netflix binges and casual family dinners that they hadn’t carved out lone time—until a recent trip to Malibu.
“It felt like a date night,” Chris admitted, detailing a cozy dinner followed by an hour-long car ride home that marked, in his words, “our first proper date.” Sure, they’d met each other’s folks and mingled with friends, but apparently, those group hangs didn’t count.
For all you romantic cynics, Chris insists that sharing your guilty pleasures on screen or off is nothing to apologize for. Hence his collaboration with Nutri-Grain, where he celebrates unfiltered reality-TV moments, emphatically declaring that reality stars “don’t like apologizing for certain things that we do.”
He says the campaign gave him license to be his “very light-hearted, open-book self.” Given that open books tend to bore me to tears, I’ll let you decide if spilling details about sipping tea in sweats is earth-shattering gossip—or just another trip down common-couple lane.
Before JoJo, the YouTube sensation made waves in August 2020 by revealing a teen romance that eclipsed her previous celebrity crushes—only for her to break up by November. “Mark doesn’t deserve hateful things,” she defended her ex on Instagram, insisting they parted on good terms.
Her next real-world romance emerged in February 2021 when Siwa came out publicly and credited her “amazing, wonderful, perfect” girlfriend for encouraging her to embrace her true self. That chapter led to partnerships with LGBTQ+ creators and viral Pride-themed TikToks, cementing JoJo’s status as a leading influencer.
So here we are: Chris and JoJo, still glued to the sofa but legally allowed to call cabin fever a love story. And if you ask me, the real headline should read: “Couple Finds Thing to Do Outside the Living Room.”
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things without a corny backstory.
