JoJo Siwa has addressed her sexuality while confirming her relationship status with Chris Hughes after recently revealing she’s queer.

It feels like there's been constant updates regarding these two ever since they first crossed paths on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year in April with the latest instalment in the saga seeing JoJo gushing about how she's 'head over heels' for Chris.

Since their departure from the ITV show, the pair have regularly featured on each other's social media accounts with one of the latest snaps, posted by Chris over the weekend, showing what looked like a loved-up selfie of the pair from bed, showing him kissing JoJo's head as she smiled.

In a new interview with The Guardian, JoJo, 22, confirmed that her relationship with 32-year-old Chris is no longer 'platonic'.

"People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop," she told the outlet. "I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them."

After the interviewer suggested that Siwa was smiling ear to ear, the former Dance Moms star gushed: "I am…because we… we… we have..." before taking a '20 second' pause.

"It’s not platonic any more, 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," JoJo eventually said of her new romance with the Love Island veteran.

While JoJo previously identified as lesbian, during her time on Celebrity Big Brother, she opened up about identifying more with 'queer'.

In the Big Brother House, JoJo opened up to fellow CBB housemate and drag queen, Danny Beard, about now wishing to identify as 'queer'.

During a private chat in the bedroom, she told the RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner: "I feel so queer."

"I'm queer!" Danny responded, prompting JoJo to confide in them saying: "I've never - I think I've always told myself, I'm a lesbian."

"I think you - I think being here - I've realised I am not a lesbian, I’m queer," she shared.

JoJo continued: "And I think that's really cool, I'm switching letters! I've dropped the L and I've gone to the Q baby! That's what I love about sexuality."

She echoed such sentiments in her interview with The Guardian, sharing that she still identifies her sexuality as 'queer' as the term 'encompasses how I am, and who I am'.

"There’s a lot of different sexual identities. I think there’s nothing more beautiful than somebody discovering themselves," the reality TV star added.

Addressing the allegations that the newly-found romance is actually a PR 'showmance' stunt over a genuine relationship, JoJo defended: "Clearly, you’ve never been around us.

"I won’t ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I’ve never [before] been in pain from smiling so much," she beamed.

JoJo later added: "I do live this very, very big public life that has so many eyeballs on it, and it can get really hard to navigate. But I’m also living a human life.

"You can’t help who you love."
