JoJo Siwa finally comes clean about Chris Hughes relationship after intimate bed selfie

   

JoJo Siwa is finally owning up to the new love in her life.

The singer confirmed to the Guardian in an interview published Monday that her relationship with “Celebrity Big Brother” co-star Chris Hughes is “not platonic anymore.”

She gushed, “It’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”

The “Dance Moms” alum, 22, denied that their connection was a “PR stunt,” saying those who believe so have “clearly … never been around” them.

“I won’t ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now,” Siwa explained.

“Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks,” she added. “I’ve never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.”

She also denied that their romance is a “PR stunt.”

The reality star’s admission comes on the heels of Hughes, 32, posting a shirtless photo of himself kissing Siwa’s forehead as they cuddled.

“Sleepinnn beauty,” the “Love Island” alum captioned the loved-up snap.

The duo sparked romance rumors during their time on the show — while Siwa was in a relationship with Kath Ebbs.

The exes split immediately after filming ended.

The dancer, who no longer identifies as a lesbian but as queer after coming out in 2021, claimed on “Viall Files” last month that she got “cussed out” by Ebbs, 27, at the show’s wrap party.

As for her and Hughes, she insisted they were platonic and quipped, “Our bond is beautiful, but our bond is what you saw. You saw the extent of it.”

Siwa and Hughes were subsequently spotted at a golf and tennis club, followed by a getaway in Mexico.

They even confirmed their romance with an affectionate kiss during a recent airport reunion.

However, Siwa refused to call Hughes her boyfriend in a “Lorraine” interview last week when asked whether they are “exclusive.”
