JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are spending some time in the countryside.
On Monday, June 9, the 22-year-old singer shared photos to her Instagram that featured some moments from her trip to the Cotswolds in the English countryside with her new beau, Chris Hughes, 32.
In the post, Siwa shared snapshots of herself and the former Love Island star going horseback riding, spending time at home cooking a full English breakfast with tea, going out for coffee, and — as she describes it — "Christopher being Christopher."
"Nothing beats wholesome & pure days like these,🤍🫶🏼" she began the caption, before sharing a description of each photo.
According to the Dance Moms alum, her trip marked the first time she's been near a horse in years. One video included in her post showed her "touching a horse for the first time in 8 years (since I was thrown off one during a filming I’ve been scared to be around them haha loved this though after I warmed up!)"
Other photos in the post showed Hughes holding up bags of candy ("sweets for my family back home," Siwa wrote), and another snap of the newly announced couple holding hands.
"The one thing that can make everything better 🤍," she wrote alongside the picture.
Siwa and Hughes first met during the most recent season of Celebrity Big Brother UK, where they were both contestants and sparked rumors of a romance when the series began in April. Amid growing speculation about their relationship status, Siwa and Hughes denied her breakup from her ex Kath Ebbs, 27, was linked to their connection.
The pair went on to openly share PDA-filled photos and videos on social media while maintaining in interviews at the time that they were just friends. However, in an interview with U.K. newspaper The Guardian on June 2, Siwa finally confirmed that she was romantically involved with Hughes.
“It’s not platonic anymore, and 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 told the outlet.
The comment comes after Hughes recently shared photos on his Instagram Stories showing himself with Siwa’s parents, Jessalynn and Tom.
On Sunday, June 1, he also posted a photo on his Snapchat of himself lying shirtless in bed while kissing the “Boomerang” singer on her forehead.
“Sleeepinnn beauty,” he wrote alongside the dimly lit snap.

Reflecting on a morning spent in bed scrolling on her phone alongside Hughes singing one of her songs, Siwa told The Guardian, “You know when you’re alone, how you feel? You are your true, raw self. I’ve obviously felt like that before, but never around one single person.”
The musician also appeared on the Thursday, June 5 episode of Gyles Brandreth's podcast Rosebud and spoke about her new relationship with Hughes, telling the host that their romance has been "a beautiful journey."
"Serendipity is Christopher and I’s favorite word now. If you read the definition of it, it’s essentially finding love when you’re least looking for it," she shared at the time.
Added Siwa, "I don’t know how the universe did align for Chris to come in my life." When asked what's special about Hughes, Siwa replied, "What's not?"
