JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have dominated the headlines with their not-so platonic friendship ever since they left the doors of the Celebrity Big Brother house in April.
And now, after finally confirming their romance following weeks of speculation, Siwa has revealed what her parents Jessalyn and Tom think of her new beau.
The Dance Moms star, 22, and former Love Islander, 32, first raised eyebrows due to their very close bond on the ITV show.
At the time, Siwa was in a relationship with influencer Kath Ebbs, who gave a bombshell account of what went down after they cut ties at the wrap party.

Since then, Siwa and Hughes have been pretty much inseparable, appearing all over each other’s social media accounts and even travelling between the UK and US to see each other.
On Monday, she confessed to Capital Buzz: "I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes."
And in another new interview, this time with The Guardian, she also confirmed that things were no longer 'platonic' between her and Hughes.
"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."
When pressed on whether or not it was romantic, she was 'silent for a long time' before admitting: "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."
And it seems that Siwa’s parents are equally elated by the blossoming relationship, as the dancer admitted her mum ‘loves him’ and he’s ‘best friends’ with her dad.
Speaking on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, she gushed: “She does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him and he and my dad are like best friends.
“Chris was actually telling me that yesterday they went to the spa together. They’re literally best friends.”
JoJo added: “Mum absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us because I’ve never seen my mum so happy.”
“I think there will definitely be a lot more time spent here, and I think from him as well, a lot more time spent over there, but we both have families, you know, on either end.”
One of the couple’s latest snaps, posted by Hughes over the weekend, showed a loved-up selfie of the pair from bed, with him kissing his new girlfriend’s head as she smiled.
It kicked off the romance rumours once again before Siwa finally gave fans what they wanted and revealed they are in fact an item.
Last month, they were spotted in Mexico and Orlando before Siwa travelled over to the UK for a string of shows.
Huges could be seen greeting the dancer at Heathrow Airport with a bunch of roses as they reunited.
It's also not the first time Chris has spent time with Siwa's family - from games nights to evening meals, he seems to have fit into the Siwa clan with ease.
Dance Mom Jessalyn herself recently uploaded a clip of her the duo looking as loved-up as ever while enjoying a night in together, so it seems that Hughes really does have he stamp of approval.
