Chris Hughes has opened up about his long distance relationship with JoJo Siwa, insisting it is 'not as tricky as people think'. The 33-year-old reality star, who began dating the 23-year-old singer after meeting on Celebrity Big Brother last year, frequently travels to the United States to see her.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Hughes said: 'It is tricky, but it's not as tricky as people think. So many people ask me this, and it's like, before the last couple of months, we'd see each other every month, one way or another, whether she be over here or I go out there, so it's never as strenuous as people think.'
He added that being able to fly to see each other makes it manageable: 'I think when you can jump on a flight and get yourself out there, if you've got the ability to do that and you've got the time, then it's a lovely thing, really.'
Despite the UK-US culture clash, Hughes enjoys spending time with Siwa and her family. The couple will be apart for their one-year anniversary on Wednesday, but Hughes recently returned from the US after celebrating Siwa's birthday, where they played golf together.
Siwa recently admitted that her brother's wedding has made her think about her own future marriage, telling PEOPLE: 'It's been the best year ever, and it's only gonna go up from here.'
