They raised eyebrows after the beginnings of their romance played out in front of the nation during Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year. 

Chris Hughes, who confirmed his relationship with JoJo Siwa in June, has now spoken out about their unexpected romance, revealing that he is ‘obsessed’ with the singer.

The relationship between the former Love Island star, 32, and the former Dance Moms star, 22, took many by surprise, especially since JoJo was still in a relationship with her ex-partner Kath Ebbs when they met.

Confirming on CBB that she identifies as queer, she has openly discussed how Chris is her first relationship with a man.

In an interview with The Sun ‘s Fabulous Magazine, Chris addressed the criticism of their relationship, dismissing claims that it is fake. He shared, ‘I’ve had more people call me ‘gay’ in the last two months of my life than ever before. But it doesn’t bother me – as long as people aren’t nasty, opinions are fine.’

He revealed even he was surprised by the turn of events, and after a string of public relationships, he began to wonder whether there was anyone out there for him.

Chris hit back at accusations their relationship is fake as he admitted: ‘I’ve had more people call me ‘gay’ in the last two months of my life than ever before’

He explained: ‘Then meeting Joelle gave me this magical feeling. She is the most precious person….I’m obsessed with her. I’d do anything for her.’

The star confessed the 10-year age gap doesn’t phase him as you can’t help who you fall in love with.  

And while it has only been a matter of months Chris can already see the relationship going the full way and believes it is forever. 

Discussing the prospect of marriage after confessing they both say ‘I love you’ every day, he hinted: ‘I do see a forever here… I’d love to marry her. I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day.’

He also revealed they both want children and he has received the seal of approval from her family after joining them on their Orlando holiday in May. 

Chris joined JoJo for her birthday trip alongside her parents Jessalynn and Tom and her brother Jayden and his fiancée Abby. 

The star is already been invited as JoJo’s plus one to the family wedding next year as the couple continue to go from strength to strength, but he admitted the pair don’t plan on moving in just yet and are prepared to carry on long distance. 

And Chris isn’t the first one to mention marriage after JoJo previously admitted they had discussed putting a ring on it.

It certainly wasn’t a showbiz relationship anyone expected and when the former Love Island star, 32, and the former Dance Moms star, 22, met on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year

Speaking to TMZ last month while enjoying dinner with pal James Charles on Wednesday, JoJo said said things between herself and Chris  are ‘going great.’

She said: ‘He is my favorite person in the world … It’s beautiful, it kind of radiates. He’s my favorite person and I am very grateful and very happy.’ 

Admitting that she is missing her boyfriend, JoJo added that she ‘wished he was there’ with her.

The star was then asked whether she had considered marriage with Chris yet, but she brushed it off by stating she has ‘so many thoughts.’

JoJo also revealed that she has ‘never ‘second guessed’ what she feels for the reality star.

‘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. When I speak about him, I’m full of pure joy.’

Earlier this week JoJo addressed rumours she could be pregnant after one of her videos went viral on TikTok. 

On Wednesday, she asked her fans to play the game ‘2 truths & a lie’ – before she read out three statements, one being a lie and the other two being truthful. 

She then said: ‘1. I’ve never smoked a [cigarette] 2. I’m pregnant 3. This song comes out on Spotify Friday.’

JoJo was playing into online speculation that she could be expecting after Chris gently rubbed his finger over her tummy during a recent TikTok video.

Fans wrote things like, ‘Pregnancy craving???’ as she tucked into a plate of red food. 

Earlier this week the couple sparked pregnancy rumors with a viral TikTok in which he was seen gently rubbing her tummy 

Another wrote: ‘When the pregnancy craving is red 40,’ and another penned, ‘r u pregnant?’

After JoJo shared the ‘two truths and a lie’ video, social media users jumped to the comments to choose which option was the lie, while others applauded JoJo for nonchalantly poking fun at the pregnancy speculation. 

A fan typed, ‘Everyone’s saying it’s 1 or 3, meaning everyone thinks she’s pregnant,’ and another added, ‘You Gonna be a Dance mom.’

‘Not you addressing the pregnancy rumors in the most hilarious fashion,’ one shared, and another penned, ‘Joelle not u egging on the pregnant rumors. Youre too funny.’

Others replied to the comment and said, ‘She’s brilliant smiling her way through life is the key’ and ‘She’s doing it in style and hitting the silly rumors out of the park.’
