Jenna Johnson has nothing but love for her former “Dancing With the Stars” partner JoJo Siwa — especially when it comes to Siwa’s budding relationship with Chris Hughes.
The professional dancer says she’s thrilled to see Siwa happy and embracing young love.
Jenna Johnson Cheers On JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes
“I, firsthand, know that love happens when you least expect it,” Johnson, 31, said while speaking with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet for the American Music Awards. “I’m just happy for her.”
Johnson, who partnered with Siwa during season 30 of “DWTS,” added, “I want her to be happy and enjoy young love. So I’m here for it.”
Friends and Fans React to the New Pair
“We still speak all the time, obviously, naturally,” Siwa said of Hughes. “Now to be out of the house, we just exist, and it is what it is. We’re happy, and we have each other. It’s a great little special friendship that we have.”
Later that month, Siwa celebrated her birthday, sharing Instagram photos of her and Hughes looking cozy. “This year’s birthday week was more magical than anything,” she captioned the post. “Full of surprises, family time, performing, chilling, laughing, loving, smiling, and good meaningful cries. Absolutely beautiful, wouldn’t change a single thing — a week I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”
Earlier this month, The Sun published vacation photos showing Siwa and Hughes kissing in Mexico. Despite the speculation, Siwa seemed to clarify their relationship status on ITV’s “Lorraine” when host Andi Peters called Hughes her “boyfriend,” suggesting they were not officially dating.
DWTS Costars Show Their Support
Ezra Sosa, another “DWTS” pro and a close friend of Siwa’s, also shared his support. “She’s my best friend. I must say she’s punctual with relationships,” Sosa, 24, quipped to ET. “Lord knows what’s happening.”
Sosa added, “When I was on tour with JoJo, we were super close and really bonded. And I see that very much with her and Chris. I’m so happy that she has someone like that in her life right now.”
