JoJo Siwa Already Planning Marriage with Chris Hughes Amid Community Backlash
I’m sure this sounds complicated, so let me simplify: JoJo Siwa is already picturing her wedding with Chris Hughes, according to an exclusive chat with TMZ. You probably thought she’d take it slow, but the Dance Moms alum couldn’t help but gush over her “favorite person in the world” when we cornered her outside Craig’s last Wednesday night. She even admitted she’s “definitely” daydreaming about walking down the aisle. Yes, that quickly.
If you’re not up to speed, JoJo came out as queer in early 2021, publicly dated women, then surprised everyone this June by coupling with Chris Hughes—a straight British entrepreneur she met earlier this year. Sources at TMZ confirm she raved about wishing he’d been by her side during our interview, practically radiating bridal vibes. She looked at reporters and said, “He’s my rock, so why wouldn’t I want forever?” There you have it, crystal clear.
Of course, not every reaction has been confetti and cheers. Since JoJo’s announcement, social media critics in the LGBTQ+ community have accused her of glossing over her own narrative by dating a straight man after two years of queer relationships. People Magazine noted several heated Twitter threads where fans demanded explanations about her sexuality “journey.” That pressure only intensified when Miley Cyrus—never one to hold back—took a playful swipe, jokingly coaxing JoJo back into “the closet” in a late-night Instagram Story. If you missed it, E! Online ran a clip showing Cyrus miming a door slam with the caption: “Come home, JoJo.”
Not one to be derailed, JoJo responded with grace (and a bit of sass). She reminded everyone that “love is love” isn’t just a slogan but a practice, urging folks to support queer people whether they date men, women, or anyone in between. TMZ’s video captures her calmly saying she’s unbothered by the chatter, adding that Miley is “a legend I grew up watching,” so there are no hard feelings—just “water under the bridge.”
So here’s what you need to remember: JoJo Siwa is head over heels, already envisioning vows and a cake smash. She’s confident that true allies will celebrate her happiness, even if her dating history doesn’t fit a neat box anymore. And as for that cheeky Cyrus cameo? JoJo’s “all love,” but she’s clearly charting her own course. Hopefully I’ve cleared that up without too much brain strain—glad I could illuminate things for you.
