On Monday, April 21, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes were seen in an intimate exchange during their time on the reality show. The live footage shows the pair gazing into each other's eyes while standing in the kitchen, asking each other for a massage.

After a conversation back and forth about a massage, Siwa jokingly said, “I'm the one with a broken eyeball.” And Hughes replied, “And I'm the one who's literally mended it all day,” suggesting a possible injury the pop singer may have suffered.
Siwa then said, “You have sat with me for 10 minutes, max.” Following her remark, Hughes reassured the singer by saying, “Let me see it, come on, look at me, look into my eyes. That's really good, it's mended.”
The intimate clip ends with the dancer saying, “I've had a rough day, I've had a hard day today.”

Previously on the series, Jojo Siwa opened up about her sexuality and told her housemates that she liked girls. However, prior to her intimate kitchen conversation with Hughes, Siwa had a private chat with another housemate, RuPaul's Drag Race star, Danny Beard, about her identity, saying that she no longer identifies as a lesbian.
“I think that’s the thing, I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized: ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer,’ and I think that’s really cool,” she continued.
And later added, “I’m switching letters! F**k the L, I’m going to the Q! That’s what I love about sexuality.”

Starting a close relationship since the beginning of the season, the Dance Moms star and the former Love Island star have been under close watch, regularly fueling rumors of a possible romance among viewers and other celebrities on the show.
The duo have been seen cuddling in bed at night, being affectionate with one another, and at one point, Hughes even admitted he wanted to kiss her. As a result of the pair’s exchanges, Siwa’s partner, influencer Kath Ebbs, has been heavily mocked online, with trolls accusing the singer of cheating. The pair began dating in November 2024.

On Wednesday’s episode, Hughes and Siwa appeared to be in bed together. Upon seeing the duo, Beard asked if they had spent the night in the same bed, which Siwa quickly denied.
Later on, Beard warned Siwa to be prepared for her partner to “throw some punches.” Siwa then brushed it off by laughing and simply saying that Ebbs “wouldn’t care.”

Just two hours before entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, JoJo had gushed over her relationship on the We Need To Talk podcast, saying, “I have the most amazing, beautiful partner, they are an incredible human being who I don't know how I snagged them at all,” referring to Ebbs.“With Kath, I just trust them beyond trust,” Siwa added.
However, Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary and uses she/they pronouns, has disabled comments on her Instagram posts after trolls’ comments about Siwa and Hughes’ relationship.
