Chris Hughes has shared a sweet way his freshly confirmed other half JoJo Siwa has ‘rubbed off’ on him.
American TV and social media star JoJo entered the Celebrity Big Brother House in April and quickly bonded with Chris, best known for his stint on Love Island in 2017.
At the show’s after party JoJo also dumped her partner Kath Ebbs, 27. Since then JoJo and Chris have been spending time together in the UK and US, sharing intimate photos – including one of them in bed together.
After weeks of speculation, JoJo, 22, confirmed she and Chris, 32, have made their relationship official and she’s started calling him her boyfriend, in a new interview with Capital Radio.
She said: ‘I’m sure it’s no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes.’
Chris has now shared a sweet update on the couple, as he joined a knackered Sam Thompson on his multi-marathon challenge.

Sam congratulated Chris on his new relationship, after a tough day cycling 43K, and the loved up former Islander had some motivational advice he had taken from JoJo.
Chris told Sam on HitsRadio: ‘I said to Sam on the way around, just keep it pushing and that’s her terminology rubbed off on me, but it’s a great phrase for this. You just gotta keep it pushing.’
Sam went on to say that Chris looks ‘incredibly happy’ as he congratulated him on the new relationship status.
‘I was saying, just chase the happiness,’ said Sam. ‘That’s the most important thing in this world. And I’m really happy for you mate.’
He added: ‘You look over the moon and it makes me happy. So, yeah, keep doing it mate. Anything that makes you happy, you keep cracking on.’
In a recent interview with the Guardian, JoJo again spoke about identifying as queer, which she said best ‘encompasses how I am, and who I am’, adding: ‘You can’t help who you love.’
During an appearance on Sunday Brunch yesterday, JoJo spoke about her family’s opinion on her new partner.
‘She (her mother Jessalynn) does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him, and him and my dad are like best friends,’ she said.
