JoJo Siwa reveals the exact moment her bond with boyfriend Chris Hughes blossomed from friendship to romance as she shares their plans to get matching tattoos

JoJo Siwa shared the point when her relationship with boyfriend Chris Hughes transitioned from a close friendship into something romantic.

This week, it was officially announced that the 22-year-old dancer and the 32-year-old Love Island celebrity are in a relationship after much public conjecture. On Tuesday, they visited the Cotswolds to introduce her to his family.

JoJo and Chris first developed a strong bond during their time together inside the Celebrity Big Brother house in April. However, the TV personality known from Dance Moms shared that her feelings towards him altered upon her return to the United States.

On the Rosebud podcast hosted by Gyles Brandreth, JoJo opened up about the early stages of her relationship with Chris, expressing gratitude as she felt fortunate that he reciprocated her feelings too.

Apart from disclosing her intention to get a coordinating tattoo alongside Chris, JoJo additionally discussed tattoos that would commemorate her experience during her tenure at the Celebrity Big Brother residence.

When asked about what initially drew her to Chris, JoJo mentioned, “Upon his entrance, he was the sole individual I recognized from prior to the show. My reaction was, ‘There’s the Chris fellow.’

At first, what struck me most about him was his warm embraces. They felt comforting and welcoming. Plus, he had a pleasant scent, which gave off a cool vibe.

‘We just kind of bonded right away and it started very much so as friends.

It wasn’t my intention to develop feelings for him, and I don’t believe he intended to do the same with me. Instead, we found ourselves enjoying each other’s company immensely. When either of us felt low, it was always the other who provided comfort and support.

Everyone witnessed his support during my initial phase. One particular day, which happened to be Easter, stood out as he was experiencing an extremely difficult time on that specific day.

He stayed in the diary room for an extended period, which had me worried since I thought, “Something must be amiss.

‘Everyone was like ‘calm down’, and I was like ‘No, something’s wrong’.

He exited the private room and said, “I’ve got a tummy ache.” I examined him and replied, “You don’t look well.” I then offered him a comforting embrace.

We chatted, and it turned out he was struggling; he was far from fine. Fortunately, I was able to provide support. The joy we shared in that home surpassed any happiness I’ve experienced before.

Upon exiting the CBB house, JoJo commented: “Stepping out from the Big Brother bubble, I wasn’t certain about what lay ahead.

I suddenly realized many aspects of my life that were making me unhappy, things I had tolerated for too long. Once I left home, I quickly decided it was time to make changes.

Gradually, I found myself developing feelings for Christopher that I hadn’t planned on, feelings I couldn’t ignore or suppress.

‘And I’m a very, very lucky girl because he was feeling the same thing.’

We were enjoying an episode of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” when the correct response to the final question was ‘serendipity.’ Intriguingly, one contestant responded, ‘And by the way, do you know what serendipity means? It’s you and JoJo.’

‘And we googled it and both of us freaked out because that was the million dollar question.

> Our preferred term these days is serendipity. In essence, this word signifies discovering affection unexpectedly, much like stumbling upon a hidden gem. It’s a truly captivating concept. I can’t help but marvel at how the cosmos managed to bring Chris into my path.

As a devoted follower, I’m disclosing that I’m optimistic about my bond with Chris enduring for a lifetime. Subsequently, I revealed my intentions of getting a permanent tattoo with him, symbolizing our relationship. This tattoo will carry a reminder of the ring he presented me in the Celebrity Big Brother house, which I proudly wear on a necklace as a cherished keepsake.

She informed Gyles, “Regarding the Chris tattoo, I mentioned on Big Brother that I intended to get a bamboo stick design. Additionally, I stated I’d get a small bamboo stick tattoo and want to add two more tattoos as reminders of memories I made inside, which were inspired by my time in the Big Brother house.

I don’t consider it bad luck if something happens to Chris because ultimately, I believe it’s in the hands of a higher power or fate.

Although she flew to Mexico unexpectedly for her friend’s 22nd birthday last month, celebrated the occasion with the singer and her relatives in Orlando, and recently posted an intimate bedroom selfie, JoJo kept her relationship status under wraps until a few days ago.

Previously, a source confided in DailyMail.com that it appears Chris has gained the endorsement of JoJo’s parents, Jessalynn and Tom, despite the decade-long age difference between them.

According to the source, her parents wholeheartedly support JoJo’s joy and view Chris as an exceptionally significant individual. They are excitedly looking forward to seeing how things develop between them.

They wholeheartedly endorse their daughter’s choice. Over the years, it seems as though JoJo has matured swiftly, often diving headfirst into new experiences. Consequently, it comes as no shock to her companions that she is behaving in this manner with Chris.

It seems no one’s bringing up the matter of age difference or acting too hastily. Instead, everyone is simply hoping to see JoJo contented and joyful.

JoJo, having reconnected with Chris in the U.K. recently, might be inclined to reference her new partner in upcoming songs due to her current joyful state.

The insider added: ‘She has been thinking of writing songs about her relationship with Chris.’

During an interview on Sunday Brunch, JoJo emotionally expressed that her parents hold Chris in extremely high regard.

She mentioned that he and her father are very close friends, as she found out yesterday when Chris told her. They even visited a spa together on the previous day.

They’re truly inseparable, as Mom Siwa simply cherishes him. Watching her enjoy our company brings me joy, for I’ve rarely witnessed my mother so content, and it’s… it’s… heartwarming to the point of tears.

It brings genuine joy to me when everyone behaves as if they are part of my family. It seems as though he has been with us for an eternity.

I find great pleasure in seeing everyone interacting as if they’re part of my family, making it feel like he’s been a family member for what feels like ages.

‘He gets along as well as I do. I think he loves me because of my parents!’

On Monday, it was officially verified that JoJo and Chris were in a romantic relationship, after several weeks of rumors and guesswork.

JoJo has consistently evaded questions about her relationship with Chris, often referring to him as her “most cherished individual.

In a chat with Capital Radio, it was revealed that JoJo has acknowledged her romantic relationship with Chris, now referring to him as her beau.

In a video for our fresh series titled “Capital Buzz,” the dancer openly shared that she found herself needing to clarify her famous “Dream guest on my podcast” incident with Chris, due to its recent virality.

She went on to say, ‘It’s probably not news to anyone that I’m in a wonderful relationship with a charming gentleman called Christopher Hughes.’

In an earlier interview with The Guardian, JoJo gushed about her blossoming romance with Chris.

She mentioned: ‘It’s no longer just a friendship, and it has blossomed into something truly wonderful – an extraordinary bond. I am completely smitten by him, and he feels the same way.’

The star of Dance Moms responded to rumors that their relationship is a publicity stunt by stating: ‘You’ve never really witnessed us together. At this moment, I am brimming with joy and it shows. I can’t speak for him, but for myself, the contentment in my life is palpable.’

Just a day ago, I was giving myself a cheek massage; it’s the first time I felt pain from smiling too much.

On Sunday, Chris stirred up excitement among his followers by posting a suggestive photo of him and JoJo in their bedroom on Snapchat.

The Dance Moms actress was evasive when questioned about the precise time she started having feelings for Chris.

In an interaction with fans at Pineapple Dance Studios over the weekend, she expressed: “At various instances and on multiple layers. I am extremely content with our current situation, and honestly, I find myself smiling constantly throughout each moment of every day now.

One thing that really baffles me at the moment is that I can’t seem to pinpoint, I truly can’t figure out, and I’ve discussed this with him, as well as my mom, but I just can’t recall when it was, I snap my fingers in frustration.

She said: “It wasn’t as if a light bulb suddenly turned on; it was more like something gradual that you might understand. To be honest, I’m not sure! It seems to be a coincidence or luck!

Last week, JoJo shared on Instagram her thoughts about her London performances, confessing that she’s never been more “fulfilled and joyful.” She further expressed that her initial days in the United Kingdom were “a flawless period spent with wonderful individuals in an idyllic location.

Last night, Chris was at JoJo’s debut concert in London, but on Tuesday, the star himself confessed that he wouldn’t be able to make it to the show.

Instead, she took with her the orange beanie that Chris had given her, discovering him singing one of her songs while she was yet awake inside the house.

At the conclusion of the performance, JoJo emotionally shared with her audience, “This morning I awoke to the sound of [humming Nobody Can Change me] playing in my head, so I thought it fitting to share some of that energy during this next song.” Later on, she tearfully confessed to her fans about how she once felt like one of the most disliked individuals globally. However, she now feels incredibly unique and cherished by their affection.
