JoJo Siwa attended a friend’s wedding in London over the weekend, trading her trademark rhinestones for a black satin gown as she reunited with boyfriend Chris Hughes at the Savoy. Hughes, 32, posted a series of photographs of the pair to Instagram, captioning the snaps: "A beautiful wedding in the city. Congratulation Mr & Mrs Lewis!" Siwa, 22, posed with Hughes in front of the London skyline while the dress included an homage to the oversized bows she is known for.
The couple met in the Celebrity Big Brother house in April and began dating after the final. They have maintained a long-distance relationship since, and both have publicly discussed plans for their future. Siwa told The Sun's Fabulous Magazine she envisions a wedding with a baby-blue colour scheme and that she would work with Hughes on the playlist. "A wedding is a two-person thing," she said. "So we would have to decide what it looks like. But I do know that I want it to have a baby-blue colour scheme and I need to help Chris make the playlist. Otherwise, it'll be all songs I don't know!"
Siwa also addressed personal dynamics with past relationships in the interview, saying she was relieved to have recognised problems early and avoid remaining in "a bad place." In a separate appearance on Heart's digital feature No Filter, she said she and Hughes "pester each other" about having children and described their relationship as accelerating quickly because of the circumstances in which they met. "I don't know, I think we have a beautiful future ahead and I think it's very fast and it's very quick, but it feels so right," she said.
Hughes has described how his feelings shifted from friendship to romance during their time on Celebrity Big Brother and afterward. He told media he flew to the United States to surprise Siwa for her birthday and, wrestling with his emotions, wrote down how he felt on a piece of paper in a hotel bar before telling her. The pair have been photographed with each other's families, and Siwa has said her mother "adores" Hughes.
The couple's public appearances and interviews come amid discussions in British media about whether Siwa might consider a permanent move to the U.K. Siwa has suggested the idea publicly, and Hughes has continued to post images and commentary from their shared outings. Their brief courtship has drawn attention because both have sizeable followings from reality television and social media.
Representatives for Siwa and Hughes did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday. The wedding at the Savoy that they attended was for friends identified in Hughes's Instagram caption as Mr. and Mrs. Lewis.
Siwa first rose to prominence as a children's entertainer and social media personality, becoming known for her high-energy performances, distinctive bows and a merchandise brand. Hughes is a former contestant on British reality television and has worked in media since appearing on several shows. Their relationship, formed in the context of a reality series, follows a pattern in which on-screen friendships have at times developed into off-screen partnerships.
Both have spoken about wanting to balance careers with family life. In interviews they have described mutual enthusiasm for building a future together, noting support from family members and a shared interest in blending personal and professional priorities. As the pair continue to make joint public appearances, they have given interviews outlining specific preferences for future celebrations and, in Siwa's words, hinted at long-term intentions that include marriage and children.
