Chris Hughes Says He Wants to 'Marry' JoJo Siwa, Have Kids, While Siwa Addresses Pregnancy Rumors
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 3 MIN.
British reality star Chris Hughes said he'd like to marry JoJo Siwa and have kids - and Siwa took to social media to playfully address rumors that a kid is on the way.
Hughes opened up in comments to Fabulous Magazine (a supplement of UK newspaper The Sun), saying, "I'd love to marry her," Page Six relayed.
"I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day," Hughes went on to confess, before detailing his fantasy: "We'd have a proper English wedding and I can imagine her in a full wedding dress."
Hughes called Siwa "my best friend," and added, "I love that she's the person I have to do nothing with and still have the best time."
As for starting a family, Hughes confirmed that he and Siwa "both want kids."
That was a topic Siwa took on in a direct, if teasing, fashion when she went on TikTok with a video in which she invited her followers to a guessing game.
"Couple of things that need to be addressed, so might as well do it with 2 truths and a lie☺️," Siwa captioned the post; "which is the lie?"
Text flashed over a video of Siwa lip-syncing to a cover of Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes" with three statements: "1. I've never smoked a [cigarette emoji]"
"2. I'm pregnant"
"3. This song comes out on Spotify Friday".

One of the two truths was definitely that the song was released on Friday, July 11.
@itsjojosiwa Bette Davis Eyes is out now everywhere you listen to music🤍✨ Thank you for the love on the song, I can't believe it hit #1 ♬ Bette Davis Eyes - JoJo Siwa
As for the rest, time will tell. But the couple, who denied being a couple for months until finally confirming their relationship, may already have dropped the telling clue.
"Rumors first began to swirl two weeks ago, after the Dance Moms alum shared a TikTok showing Hughes playfully rubbing her stomach with one finger," UK newspaper the Independent noted.
"Hughes and Siwa met during the latest season of 'Celebrity Big Brother UK,' where they quickly formed a close friendship and sparked romance rumors," the Independent recapped.
"The pair faced criticism at the time, since Siwa was in a relationship with Australian actor and DJ Kath Ebbs while filming. However, Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary, announced in April that the relationship had ended, claiming Siwa 'dumped' them while they were at an afterparty for Celebrity Big Brother, with Hughes in the next room."
Prior to the breakup with Ebbs, Siwa had revealed on the show that she was "going to the Q," meaning that she was no longer identifying as a lesbian, but rather as queer.
Talking to E! News last month, Siwa called queer "the most beautiful term," explaining, "I think queer is an umbrella of, 'Look, I'm just me.' And I think the most beautiful thing about the LGBTQIA community is love is love. And that goes both ways."
