JoJo Siwa has officially confirmed her relationship with Chris Hughes, solving the will-they-won't-they riddle that's been puzzling fans for weeks.
The pair met on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year - at which point Siwa was in a relationship with now-ex Kath Ebbs - growing close inside the house before continuing to hang out after the series wrapped.
After Ebbs gave a bombshell account of their breakup, claiming that she was dumped at the show's wrap party, Siwa said it had not been her 'intention' for things to pan out the way they did.
Speaking of Ebbs, she told This Morning: "Initially, I was told that, you know, the wrap party was something they didn't want to attend. And then, about an hour into the wrap party, they decided they wanted to, and so I was genuinely just going to have a conversation before, and then it just led to another.

"They straight up asked me if I was happy, and I said no. And, you know, one thing led to another, and that conversation did take place there."
After the breakup, Siwa and Hughes were seen spending a lot of time together, regularly posting about one another on social media.
While their bond has been unmistakable, many fans were left wondering whether or not they're actually an item or just good friends, with the duo initially insisting that things were strictly 'platonic'.

However, over the weekend, Hughes got tongues wagging - yet again - when he posted what looked like a loved-up selfie from bed, showing him kissing JoJo's head as she smiled.
And now Siwa has now finally revealed what we've all been thinking, saying the pair are, indeed, an item.
"I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes," she confessed to Capital Buzz.

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."
