Smitten JoJo Siwa says that Chris Hughes will join her on the road for her US summer tour. The pair met on Celebrity Big Brother and became firm friends, with fans always convinced there was more between them.
The pair were seen kissing this week, confirming that their relationship isn’t platonic. JoJo, 22, admitted she cannot bear being without Chris, 32, for too long and must have him join her during her month-long music and dance show across the States.
The American entertainer described going Celebrity Big Brother as the “best thing I have ever done” after ditching her partner Kath Ebbs and sparking up a romance with Chris. She was caught by TV cameras smooching Hughes as she attended the Epic Universe Studios Celestial Carpet Opening Celebration event in Orlando.
Siwa told NBC TV that “it was funny to see that on camera.” Admitting that their relationship is serious, she was then asked whether he is “joining you on tour?” She replied: “I mean he will be my guest. I am sure he will pop in and out and come and say hey and come. We cannot be apart that long.”
Siwa and Hughes openly flaunted their love during stays at the Universal hotels and visits to attractions and restaurants.
The 22-year-old former Dance Moms break out entertainer revealed that her handlers did not want her to appear on ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother UK. Siwa ignored her handlers’ advice and headed to the UK for the prime time reality television show in the spring.
“It’s funny because going into the experience, nobody on my team wanted me to do it and everyone tried to discourage me from doing it. But for some reason, I was really set on doing it,” she said.
“Right before I went in, the last thing I told my mom is, I said, ‘Mom, I think this is going to be the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.’ And I wasn’t speaking about my career, I was speaking about my life and I think I was accurate on that.”
Hughes, 32, and Siwa have played down suggestions of being lovers for the last few weeks. However her comment on This Morning that their relationship is “is platonic”, was derailed by her romantic interactions at the new Universal Studios attractions.
TV presenters from NBC’s Access Hollywood caught them canoodling in the park and called out for hanging with “cutey” Hughes. Siwa opens her tour in Houston on July 10 and concludes in Anaheim, California a month later.
