Former Celebrity Big Brother participant JoJo Siwa has opened up about her sexuality in relation to her relationship with Chris Hughes, a Love Island personality. Addressing the backlash their romance has faced, JoJo, 22, revealed that she first identified as pansexual as a teenager before later labeling herself as a lesbian. She now describes herself as queer and is currently dating Chris, 32, whom she met in the Big Brother house in April.
Despite being in a heterosexual relationship with Chris, JoJo clarified that it does not define her sexual orientation as straight. On a recent radio show, she emphasized that her past relationships, including those with women and a non-binary person, are still significant and should not be overlooked.
In an interview on SiriusXM’s Smith Sisters Live, JoJo expressed that her love for Chris is unparalleled and has brought immense joy to her life. She further discussed her sexuality and the public’s reaction to her current relationship on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast, highlighting the importance of love within the LGBTQIA+ community and the diverse expressions of relationships.
JoJo emphasized that being in a heterosexual relationship does not erase her identity within the queer community. She identified herself as happy and queer, appreciating the flexibility and inclusivity of the term. Moving away from rigid labels, she stated that focusing on her happiness and love for Chris is more important than conforming to societal expectations.
The singer’s message resonates with the LGBTQIA+ community, emphasizing that love knows no boundaries and should be celebrated in all its forms.
