JoJo Siwa has reunited with her close friend Chris Hughes in Mexico ahead of her 22nd birthday, following weeks of fan speculation about the nature of their relationship.
The two initially formed a strong bond during their time on Celebrity Big Brother last month, with Siwa referring to the former Love Island contestant, 32, as her “platonic soulmate.” Since leaving the reality show, the pair have continued to maintain a close connection, often sharing their interactions online.
On Sunday, Hughes confirmed their reunion by posting a cozy photo of the pair in Mexico City on Snapchat, writing “Finally reunited.” Hughes flew 12 hours to join Siwa, who is performing at the Tecate Emblema Festival before celebrating her birthday on Monday.
Following their stint in the Big Brother house, Siwa and Hughes stayed in contact through frequent FaceTime calls and social media posts. Last week, Siwa shared a series of images on Instagram that highlighted their friendship, including a photo of them hugging and another during a video call. She also posted a video of herself rehearsing their Dirty Dancing-inspired routine, playfully noting that Hughes hadn’t shown up for practice yet.
While fans continue to speculate about a possible romance, Siwa emphasized during a recent Stanford speaking engagement that their bond is unique and meaningful. She described Hughes as a “vital part of [her] life” and called him “a really incredible, sweet man.” Though she stopped short of confirming a relationship, she added, “He’s a keeper, we’ll keep him around, we’ll see.”
As Siwa prepares for her upcoming UK performances later this month, her deep friendship with Hughes continues to capture public attention.
