Candid new photos confirm wild celebrity romance

It seems it wasn’t just a showmance: These candid photos appear to confirm that 2025’s unlikeliest celeb couple is still going strong.

There’s a new couple in the villa.

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes confirmed their romance with a kiss during their “intimate” trip to Mexico.

In photos obtained by the Sun, the former Love Island star and the Karma singer were seen locking lips while sharing a pink-and-orange floaty in the pool at an adults-only hotel.

Hughes, 32, appeared to hold a drink in his hand as Siwa, 22, leaned in for a smooch.

A source told the outlet that the Celebrity Big Brother UK co-stars “looked very loved-up and as they snogged in full view of other holiday-makers.”

They also “spent their time at the hotel holding hands and looked like a giddy couple in the early throes of love.”

The insider added, “It was nice to see. They were very hands on, not entirely different to how they were on TV just a bit more intimate.

“JoJo seemed totally relaxed, really in love and not in any way the JoJo we see when she’s on stage. They’re just totally comfortable around each other.”

They’ve shared a series of loved-up snaps to social media.

Page Six has reached out to reps for Hughes but did not immediately hear back. As for Siwa, her publicist told us they had “no comment.”

Just yesterday, former Dance Moms star Siwa shared a PDA-filled carousel of images with Hughes after they celebrated her birthday for the past week.

In several of the images, Siwa had her head on the reality star’s shoulder and in another snap, he had his hand on the dancer’s leg.

“This years birthday week was more magical than anything,” she captioned the post.

“Full of surprises, family time, performing, chilling, laughing, loving, smiling, and good meaningful cries. Absolutely beautiful, wouldn’t change a single thing a week I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”

The pair first ignited romance rumours when they starred on Season 24 of Celebrity Big Brother UK in April.

During their time on the reality show, they shared several flirty interactions, including cuddling in bed together and Siwa licking chocolate off Hughes’ shorts.

Siwa earlier insisted her connection with Hughes was just a “special friendship.”

Before the show wrapped, the pop star broke up with partner Kath Ebbs and shocked fans by announcing she was no longer a lesbian.

“I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, but I think you — I think being here, I’ve realised, ‘Oh no, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer,’” she told co-star Danny Beard.

Earlier this month, however, Siwa downplayed her relationship status with Hughes, saying they had a “great little special friendship.”
