JoJo Siwa Clears The Air Surrounding 'Special' Relationship With 'CBB' Co-Star Chris Hughes

JoJo Siwa is ready to address the speculation surrounding her "special" relationship with her "Celebrity Big Brother" co-star Chris Hughes.

The chatter about Siwa's relationship with Hughes started toward the end of their time together in the house. On camera, viewers saw the pair getting cozy with one another, cuddling in bed, and sharing forehead kisses.

After the show ended, JoJo Siwa caused even more chaos when she "dumped" her partner, Kath Ebbs, who said they felt "subhuman" after watching the "Dance Moms" alum's "emotional cheating" spiral out of control.

While speaking with Us Weekly about her career, which has exploded since her time under Abby Lee Miller's watch on "Dance Moms," Siwa touched on her time in the "Celebrity Big Brother" house, which sparked much controversy.

Not only did the 21-year-old generate buzz for how she handled Mickey Rourke's homophobic comments toward her, but Siwa also caused waves when viewers caught glimpses of her evolving relationship with the "Love Island" alum Hughes.

However, Siwa isn't concerned about the noise, which suggests she and Hughes have developed a private relationship. In fact, she's defending their connection, calling it "special."

“What’s so special about Chris and I is that our bond is so genuine that neither of us care what people make of it,” she said. “Because we know our genuine friendship and we know our bond. It’s a great little special friendship that we have. And I literally send him videos of us dancing all the time.”

After Siwa was seen getting cozy with Hughes on camera, she had a conversation with another houseguest about her sexuality.

In the past, Siwa, who took over the internet with her song "Karma," used to identify as a lesbian. However, after her experience in the house, the young adult has changed the way she views herself.

"I feel so queer," Siwa admitted. "I've never - I think I've always told myself, I'm a lesbian. I think you - I think being here - I've realized I am not a lesbian, I'm queer."

She added, "And I think that's really cool, I'm switching letters! I've dropped the L and I've gone to the Q, baby! That's what I love about sexuality."

Siwa's suggestive relationship with Hughes while on the latest season of "CBB" had many viewers wondering how it would impact her then-relationship with Kath Ebbs.

However, shortly after the program ended, Ebbs updated their followers on TikTok with a video revealing that Siwa "dumped" them after they flew to London to spend time with them.

To make matters worse, Siwa allegedly ended things with Ebbs while Hughes was sitting several feet away.

"I flew across the world to support and be there and hold that person in whatever they would be experiencing, leaving such a wild experience, and instead, I was dumped at the afterparty, with Chris [Hughes] in the next room,” Ebbs said.

“I was told that there are confused feelings there … and that she had realized in the house that I wasn't the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable future with,” they continued, referring to Siwa. “Which has honestly been … so shocking, that I feel kind of subhuman right now. I feel incredibly humiliated, and I feel a bit embarrassed.”

Ebbs also reflected on Siwa's "emotional cheating" with Hughes.

“It took that person less than an hour to follow through,” Ebbs continued. “In terms of Mr. Christopher, I don't know. I have opinions, I'm not gonna say them now. In terms of their relationship, that's their journey, enjoy.”

Later, during her conversation with Us Weekly, Siwa seemed to brush off the comments that suggest she and Hughes are now in a dating relationship.

“People just run with whatever they want, with whatever they want to believe,” she said, adding they have a “beautiful time together and it’s not changing.”

“We are friends and we are going to continue to be in each other’s lives,” she continued. “The world having whatever say they have isn’t going to make us never see each other. I think the world expected us to be like ‘ooh, rumors, we can never see each other.’ Believe it or not, it’s not what we talk about.”
