JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes discuss marriage ahead of first Christmas in England
Couple confirms dating timeline and signals a fast-moving relationship as they plan Christmas with family

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are talking marriage as they prepare to spend their first Christmas together in England, signaling a rapid step forward in their relationship. The singer, 22, and Love Island alum, 32, who met on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, will join Chris's family for the holidays in the United Kingdom. In a candid interview with The Sun, they described a future that includes marriage while stressing that their bond has grown quickly but genuinely.
The pair have also spoken publicly about when they started dating, a detail that has fans combing through their timeline. JoJo acknowledged that the relationship began in the month before their public reveal, and she even teased a playful anniversary note for the future. "Just so you know, May 27th 2032, I will be down on one knee, I will not wait one extra day!" she joked when asked about their trajectory. She also provided a light moment about Christmas gifts, telling The Sun, "A ring?!" as her eyes lit up at the prospect. Chris, for his part, pushed back against the idea of a long wait, insisting he would be the one to propose. "It shouldn't take you seven years to work out if you want to marry someone," he said, adding, "So you can go off that and then that won't ever happen." Their exchange underscored a sense that their relationship is moving at a brisk pace, even as they emphasize the seriousness beneath the public infatuation.

The Sun interview also touched on how their romance has been perceived since their Celebrity Big Brother appearance. The couple, who divide their time between the United States and the United Kingdom, previously faced questions about whether their connection was a showmance designed to boost profiles. Both emphasized that the relationship is real. JoJo noted that while some viewers might doubt the nature of a romance born on television, there is no need to read too much into it. Chris added that their bond has endured beyond the TV moment, describing their early weeks in the Big Brother house as instrumental in learning the ins and outs of each other in a compressed period.
The conversation shed light on their approach to balancing love with professional life. JoJo highlighted a key dealbreaker for the couple: neither should take on opportunities that would jeopardize their relationship. She said that nothing should become stressful or pull them away from one another, a sentiment that resonates as they navigate busy schedules while planning a first Christmas together in England. Chris echoed the sentiment, saying they have learned to bob and weave through the media spotlight while keeping their relationship at the center of their decisions. The interview also comes amid personal milestones surrounding their circle. JoJo's ex, Kath Ebbs, announced an engagement to Tilly Lucas-Rodd, a note that has added another layer of public interest to the group dynamics and past relationships.
Their update comes as they continue to share their lives with fans across social media. Earlier this week, the couple participated in an Instagram Live during which they showed off their engagement rings, signaling a shared commitment beyond the headlines. They use They/Them pronouns, a detail acknowledged by those following their story, and they have repeatedly described their lives as split between two continents, reflecting a modern, transatlantic relationship that has evolved quickly from friendship to romance to a prospective lifelong partnership. In the public eye, the path they describe leans toward sincerity and intention, even as fans watch closely for the next chapter in their evolving story.
As Christmas approaches, Siwa and Hughes appear intent on weaving family traditions with the new shared reality of their relationship. Spending the holiday with Hughes's family in England marks a milestone in their cross-continental life together, a step that could set the tone for future plans. Whether or not a formal proposal occurs soon, the couple has signaled a commitment to each other that they say will withstand the scrutiny and anticipation that accompany high-profile relationships. The broader context of their relationship—fast-moving but deeply serious—continues to unfold in public view as fans await further confirmation of their next steps.
