JoJo Siwa has finally broken her silence regarding her relationship with Chris Hughes after the reality television star made surprising comments about being single during a recent episode of Celebrity MasterChef.
The Confusing Comments That Sparked Speculation
Chris Hughes left viewers completely baffled when he declared himself single during his appearance on the BBC cooking competition. Speaking directly to the cameras, the former Love Island contestant stated: "So, I live on my own, I've been single for three years, so it's not like I'm cooking for anyone."
He further elaborated with what many interpreted as a lonely sentiment: "It's quite sad, really, isn't it? I need someone there to show off to in the kitchen, I've got the judges."
These remarks created immediate confusion among fans who have been following the couple's very public romance since they confirmed their relationship status in June of this year. The pair had appeared completely devoted to one another in numerous social media posts and public appearances.
JoJo's Sweet Anniversary Response
Rather than directly addressing the controversy, JoJo chose to mark a significant milestone in their relationship. The American star took to Instagram to celebrate their six-month anniversary, sharing a heartfelt collage of moments from their time together.
Her caption read simply: "6 months ❤️, wouldn't trade one day for anything." She complemented this post with a video showing the couple dancing joyfully together, accompanied by the words: "Full heart the last six months" followed by a heart emoji.
While JoJo has been vocal about their anniversary celebrations, Chris has remained noticeably quiet on social media regarding both the anniversary and the growing speculation about their relationship status.
The Timeline Explanation
Eagle-eyed fans quickly came to the couple's defence by pointing out a crucial detail about television production schedules. The Celebrity MasterChef episode featuring Chris's comments was actually filmed before he even met JoJo during their time together on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.
One observant supporter clarified online: "They announced in May that he had filmed MasterChef before Big Brother. They didn't know if it was ever actually going to air."
Another fan echoed this explanation: "It was filmed earlier this year before he met her." This important context resolves the apparent contradiction between Chris's televised remarks and their current relationship status.
The couple first developed their friendship on Celebrity Big Brother, which eventually blossomed into romance despite JoJo being in a relationship at the time. Chris has previously opened up about the moment he realised his feelings for the Dance Moms alum were deepening.
On Harry Corrin's Question The Default podcast, Chris revealed: "Nothing was rushed or forced, it just happened." He described flying to surprise her in Mexico shortly after their Celebrity Big Brother experience, noting: "I spent a few days with her and her family in Orlando as well before flying home, and that's where it all started."
He specifically highlighted their time in Mexico as when "the whole feelings developed and things changed." Chris emphasised the organic nature of their connection, stating: "It was genuinely lovely, and nothing was rushed or forced; it just happened."
Meanwhile, JoJo has previously expressed her excitement about their future together, even discussing potential wedding plans. She shared: "A wedding is a two-person thing. So we would have to decide what it looks like. But I do know that I want it to have a baby-blue scheme, and I need to help Chris make the playlist."
