READ TIME: 3 MIN.
JoJo Siwa, the multi-talented performer and outspoken LGBTQ+ advocate, has again made headlines by hinting at her readiness to start a family with her boyfriend, Chris Hughes. The two, who first connected on the reality show “Celebrity Big Brother” in April 2025, have become increasingly open about their relationship and future aspirations, including marriage and parenthood. Siwa, now 22, and Hughes, 32, have both recently spoken publicly about their hopes for having children together, offering fans an intimate look at their journey as a couple and as potential future parents .
Siwa’s most recent comments came during an interview with The Sun, in which she addressed speculation around pregnancy rumors and clarified her intentions. “I crave , I absolutely would love to have babies, it's absolutely in my future, and I don't think it's that far away,” she shared. Siwa explained that her career stability and her supportive relationship with Hughes have contributed to her sense of readiness: “I'm at a place in my life where my career...works and it runs and I know how to do everything that I'm doing and I'm not learning anything new, so I'm at a great place with that. Obviously I have a great boy in my life, there's a lot of things to happen before then, but definitely want kids” .
Chris Hughes, the British reality star best known for his time on “Love Island,” echoed Siwa’s sentiments in a recent interview. “We genuinely speak to each other about this,” Hughes told UsWeekly, highlighting the couple’s openness about their future. “When you are absolutely besotted with each other and you are in love with someone, I think it's fun to look forward to those things. Of course I want to get married. I would never shy away from saying that. We both come from extremely loving families... it would be nice to reciprocate that going forward” .
Support for Siwa and Hughes’ family plans extends beyond their immediate circle. Siwa’s mother, Jessalynn, has even joined the conversation, commenting on social media: “Grandma Jess reporting for duty,” signaling familial excitement and support for Siwa’s next life chapter . For many LGBTQ+ fans and families, this public embrace stands as a positive example of unconditional support and acceptance.
Siwa and Hughes’ discussions about children have even included playful details, such as Siwa sharing her favorite baby names—Freddie, Eddy, and Teddy—though Hughes admits he has his own preferences yet to be decided. Such transparency about family planning helps normalize queer relationships and family-building aspirations for audiences worldwide .
Siwa’s openness about her personal life has long been a hallmark of her public persona. Since coming out in early 2021, she has used her platform to increase LGBTQ+ representation in entertainment and to challenge stereotypes about queer relationships, particularly around topics like family-building, marriage, and parenting .
Her willingness to discuss future parenthood is particularly significant against a backdrop where LGBTQ+ family-building—via adoption, assisted reproduction, or blended families—remains both a deeply personal and often politicized subject in many societies. By sharing these milestones, Siwa and Hughes contribute to ongoing conversations about what it means to build a family as LGBTQ+ people, helping to destigmatize queer parenting and offering younger generations visible role models .
While Siwa has reiterated that she is not currently pregnant, she and Hughes appear to be focused on nurturing their relationship and preparing for the future. The couple, who are managing a long-distance dynamic while Siwa continues her “Infinity Heart” tour through October, have been candid about balancing career, love, and life milestones . Hughes is reportedly planning a romantic getaway for the autumn, further cementing the couple’s commitment to one another.
As Siwa and Hughes move forward, their journey will likely continue to resonate with LGBTQ+ audiences and allies. Their story underscores the diversity of queer experiences and spotlights the universal desire for love, family, and belonging—a narrative that remains as vital as ever in the global conversation around LGBTQ+ rights and visibility.
