It looks like JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are still going strong! The Dance Moms alum and Love Island star made their official red carpet debut while at the Dancers Against Cancer Gala in Los Angeles on October 21.
The couple—who started dating after appearing on Celebrity Big Brother UK together in April—packed on the PDA for the cameras at the charity event, with Chris kissing JoJo on the cheek as she smiled and rested her hand on his chest. The “Karma” singer wore a black gown with a pearl-covered neckline for the occasion, while the Love Island UK alum donned a brown shirt covered in white polka dots tucked into high-waisted white trousers.
Ahead of their first red carpet appearance together, Chris surprised JoJo with news that she would be receiving the organization’s Humanitarian Award later that evening, which left her nearly speechless. “Wait, actually?” the 22-year-old said during an exclusive interview with E! News after Chris’ announcement. “I’m in shock right now.”
Chris, 32, couldn’t help but gush about how proud he was of JoJo for being recognized for championing fellow artists throughout her career. “I’m gonna be a proper mess onstage,” he told her. “You should be very proud.” JoJo responded with a giggle before praising her boyfriend of several months.
This marks one of JoJo’s longest relationships to date — as she previously dated former girlfriends Avery Cyrus, Dakayla Wilson and Kath Ebbs, all for less than four months at a time. The Dancing With the Stars alum has also opened up about how secure she feels in her relationship with Chris, telling E! News in June, “What I realized with Christopher is I never have second guessed my feelings for him. Therefore, I’ve never second guessed my happiness, I’ve never second guessed what I’m feeling. And I think that’s the most beautiful thing.”
“When I think about him, I’m full of pure joy,” JoJo continued. “When I speak about him, I’m full of pure joy.”
JoJo Siwa’s Dating History: A Look Back at Her Exes and Relationships
The couple first sparked romance rumors during their time on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April 2025 after being shown cuddling on camera. Hughes also came to Siwa’s defense in the house when she faced homophobic comments from costar Mickey Rourke. During their time together, JoJo revealed to Chris that she identifies as queer rather than as a lesbian.
In June 2025, JoJo confirmed that her friendship with Chris had turned romantic after he shared a Snapchat photo of himself kissing her on the head in bed. “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,” she told The Guardian.
