JoJo Siwa has made a Chris Hughes confession as she opened up on her baby plans. The Dance Moms star, 21, had viewers gripped with her close bond with Chris, 32, while in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
They both made it all the way to Friday’s final, with fans widely speculating if there was anything more going on between them than their platonic friendship. Both JoJo and Chris have insisted they are nothing more than friends who have a “soulmate bond”. JoJo, who dumped her partner Kath Ebbs at the show’s wrap party in a shock move, has been open on her wishes to become a mum someday in the future. She was even met with a bold proposal from Chris while in the house that he could be the father to her kids.
JoJo told housemate Donna Preston how she would love nothing more than to take her children on holiday. Donna responded by jokingly saying: “There you go. Pop a couple out, babe. Chris is available.”
Chris said: “We’d have babies together. [I’d be just] the dad. I have good swimmers. I had mine checked.” Despite JoJo being in a relationship at the time, she joked at how she would inform her future kids on how “we decided who the father was”.
Since her very recent split from Kath, JoJo reflected on her future children once more and revealed another connection to Chris. In an ultimate compliment to the Love Island star, JoJo declared: “He is somebody I would want my children to be like.”
Heaping on the praise, JoJo said on the Useless Hotline podcast: “He is such a great gentleman. He is also just hilarious and a good ball of fun.
“He is a special guy, he really has such a great lovely side of him that maybe the world doesn’t see as often as they should. Big Brother gave him that to show he is fun, he is chill.”
Before heading into the Celebrity Big Brother house, JoJo also made an appearance on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, where she revealed her aspirations to become a parent.
“My dream is to have babies, I just want to be a mum,” she shared. “I’ve had a very maternal instinct, no joke, for a very long time.”
On how she’d make this work with Kath, JoJo expressed: “I want my kids to know my partner’s family and my partner wants their kids to know my family. We’re in a beautiful place, where they like America [and] I like Australia, we’re down.”
However, things came crashing down for JoJo and Kath when they reunited at the wrap party over the weekend. Australian actor Kath, who is non-binary and uses she/they pronouns, and JoJo went public with their romance earlier this year.
In an appearance on This Morning, JoJo and Chris were quizzed about the status of their relationship. “So it’s platonic right now, but would you like it to be romantic JoJo? He’s a gorgeous boy,” host Ben Shepherd said.
“Erm, look. He is a great guy,” JoJo began in her reply. “It is platonic. We have a lot of fun together. Life is life and I don’t know any future of anything. But I’m really grateful for our dynamic and our bond that we have and whatever life does, life will do.”
Kath claimed that JoJo “asked to marry them before this social experiment”. They added they travelled to the UK, and went “to the live show to show up for my partner and support them in their experience”, and talk about their relationship.
“(I) went to the after party with my, I guess now, ex, crazy thing to say, and was dumped in the party,” they said. Kath says JoJo told them “they had realised in the house that I wasn’t the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable” future with.
