JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have sent the internet into a frenzy with a fresh batch of cozy beach photos from their recent Mexico vacation—igniting celebrity dating rumors all over again.
The pop icon and former Love Island UK star were first linked during their time on Celebrity Big Brother UK, but now, fans are wondering if this is the “hard launch” of a full-blown romance.
The Photos That Started It All
On Tuesday, Chris Hughes posted a carousel of intimate photos on Instagram, showing him and JoJo wrapped in each other’s arms, smiling on the beach, and sharing what looked like undeniably tender moments.
“The previous 7 days have been the prettiest,” Hughes captioned.
JoJo quickly commented: “& happiest :). Heart is overflowing.”
In one shot, JoJo Siwa rests her head on Chris’s shoulder, while another shows them cuddled on a couch overlooking the ocean—a scene that feels more romantic than friendly.
Fans were quick to react:
“If you guys come out and say you’re still just friends after this, my heart is gonna break,” one user wrote.
Stage Shout-Outs and More PDA Fuel the Fire
During her Mexico City concert, Siwa performed “Bette Davis Eyes” and paused mid-show to give Chris Hughes a glowing shout-out. Just days later, the two were spotted snuggling backstage on Access Daily—adding more fuel to the fire.
Though the images and interactions seem to tell one story, JoJo recently insisted to Us Weekly that their relationship is rooted in “genuine friendship.”
“We have a special bond,” she said. “We send each other dancing videos all the time.”
Still, the timeline has fans scratching their heads:
- Siwa and Hughes grow close on Celebrity Big Brother UK
- Siwa’s ex Kath Ebbs confirms their split
- JoJo and Chris spotted at a UK country club
- Now, Mexico photos + PDA + concert shout-outs
Coincidence? Fans aren’t so sure.
Are They or Aren’t They?
At 22, JoJo Siwa is no stranger to media attention surrounding her personal life. She made headlines last year after clarifying she identifies as queer, not lesbian, and since then has been open about navigating relationships in the public eye.
Chris Hughes, 32, has also dealt with romantic speculation, particularly after his high-profile Love Island stint.
Fans Are Weighing In
On TikTok and Twitter, the hashtag #JoJoSiwa is trending alongside #ChrisHughes and #MexicoGetaway.
Some fans are celebrating what they see as a new power couple, while others are respecting their right to keep things private.
Top fan theories:
- “They’re testing the waters before going public.”
- “It’s just friendship—but with chemistry off the charts.”
- “This is the softest hard launch ever.”
Why This Matters for Fans and Pop Culture
With both stars representing different corners of the entertainment world—JoJo from music and dance, and Chris from reality TV—their potential pairing is capturing attention from both sides of the Atlantic.
It also reflects a broader shift in how Gen Z and millennial stars present relationships: fluid, honest, and often intentionally ambiguous.
