JoJo Siwa’s Intimate Bed Selfie with Chris Hughes Stirs Romance Rumors
Fantastic—just when you thought celebrity content couldn’t get any more predictable, along comes Chris Hughes planting a smooch on JoJo Siwa’s forehead in a bedroom snap that’s already setting gossip mills ablaze. Look, I don’t want to be the grumpy guru here, but if you’ve seen one cuddly influencer selfie, you’ve seen them all. Still, let’s begrudgingly break down the drama.
On Monday, former Love Island star Chris Hughes, 29, shared a cozy shot that practically screamed “date night” as he pressed his lips gently against Siwa’s brow while she flashed a peace sign. The TikTok sensation and dancer, 20, looked fresh-faced and blissfully content, wrapped up in fluffy white sheets. Hughes’ caption—“You’re one of a kind”—might as well have had neon arrows pointing to it, but hey, subtlety isn’t on the agenda when stoking romance rumors. (People Magazine, Nov. 27)
If you’re wondering how this went from “just friends” to full-on speculation, here’s your answer: the duo was spotted holding hands at an NBA game in London last month, then seen grabbing dinner at a swanky West End spot (The Scottish Sun, Nov. 20). Both have fresh relationship résumés—Hughes split with influencer Kendall Rae-Knight earlier this year while Siwa’s engagement with Avery Cyrus ended this summer—so fans were practically salivating for a new power pairing. Shocking? Hardly. I told you so.
Of course, social media sleuths immediately dove into every emoji and comment, hunting for confirmation. Some claimed their matching hotel keycards were proof of an overnight rendezvous. Others pointed to Siwa’s recent Instagram Story hinting at “someone special.” Still, despite the flurry of TikToks and whispers, neither camp has confirmed more than “we had a great time.” Cue the collective eye roll—of course you two had a great time. You’re influencers.
Before you jump on the “shipper” train, note that both stars have stayed mum about official titles. From where I’m sitting, this looks like a well-timed flirt fest designed to keep followers engaged. And honestly, isn’t that the point? We’ll probably see a few more snaps from London’s landmark hotels and cozy restaurant booths before they decide if this is “love” or “content strategy.” But hey, pop the popcorn—there’s bound to be another selfie drop any minute now.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
