JoJo cut a casual figure in a blue Versace T-shirt, tie-die cargo trousers and trainers, while accessorising with a silver chain and sunglasses.
Meanwhile, Chris was unrecognisable in a short brown wig and bold shirt, as he filmed a new campaign for Coral-Eclipse day at Sandown Racecourse.
He later changed into a tweed beige suit, and the pair kicked a rugby ball about with others on the shoot.
It comes after JoJo responded to Miley’ post about her romance with Chris, admitting the comment was not ‘what the world, or myself needs to hear any day of the week’.
Miley ignited outrage earlier this week after she joked about JoJo’s sexuality in a video message at World Pride amid the dancer’s newfound relationship with Chris.
Speaking from inside a closet, Miley said: ‘Oh, my God, I haven’t been in here since sixth grade! Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you […] It shouldn’t be a month – it should be a year; it should be infinite.’
Wrapping up the video, Miley added with a laugh: ‘I’m going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out.’

JoJo has now insisted that it is ‘all love’ between herself and her idol Miley but admitted that hearing judgement from ‘someone you love, and look up to can be very hard’.
Sharing photos of herself as a child when she had a Miley-themed birthday party, alongside snaps with the popstar herself, JoJo wrote a passionate message.
She penned: ‘I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I’m still happy now at 22… If you know me, you know that Miley is my day 1, grew up beyond inspired by her from 2 years old on…’
She said she had taken some time to process Miley’s words, telling fans: ‘I wasn’t sure how I felt about things for a couple of days… but I’ve started to come to some thoughts…. I don’t believe what Miley said at world pride was ill intended, honestly I think it was meant to be a joke, but just not very good one haha.’
‘Not what the world, or myself needs to hear any day of the week. I messaged miley light heartedly about it and she replied and said ‘All love. Always . ❤️❤️❤️.’
‘Honestly the most beautiful thing I’ve learned in the last 5 years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don’t question yourself, don’t second guess yourself, just love.’
‘Love love love love love.❤️ People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to…’
‘But if you feel happy and content with yourself, that’s most important. You get one life… hold onto it, make it yours, find your happy, and love.’

JoJo couldn’t contain her laughter


She was happy to get involved in a quick game of rugby

The outing comes after the US star enjoyed a stay at Chris’ family home in the Cotswolds during her trip, which also saw the singer dedicate songs to her beau from the stage during her London tour dates

A source told MailOnline that the visit went well, with Chris’s new girlfriend reportedly a hit with his parents

‘Meeting the parents is a big step, but she charmed everyone. Looks like JoJo has traded in her bows for a bit of British countryside bliss!’

JoJo recently confessed during an episode of Celebrity Big Brother – where she met Chris – that she previously identified as a lesbian, but now identifies as a queer woman.
While Miley’s gag was met with cheers and applause at the Washington D.C. festival, it failed to land online, with many social media users blasting Miley over the ‘unnecessary’ dig.
Taking to X, one asked: ‘Can ya’ll just let bi people exist?’
‘I adore Miley, but this isn’t OK,’ another said. ‘JoJo never went back into the closet, SHE’S STILL QUEER!
‘Again, JoJo being with Chris doesn’t erase or change her attraction to women. Pride month should be about celebrating all members of the LGBT+ community, not about making jibes like this.’
Echoing a similar sentiment, a third added: ‘Publicly shaming a young woman exploring her sexuality is abhorrent not just Miley, but all of yall posting ‘jokes.”
‘It should be studied how she gets away with being awful and not a girls girl,’ wrote someone else.
A fifth user posted: ‘Mature enough to admit this was unnecessary.’
‘This isn’t even remotely funny,’ said another.
JoJo and Chris, who both appeared on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April , finally confirmed that they were dating last week following weeks of frenzied speculation.

While starring on the reality show, JoJo opened up about her sexuality and her journey.
She said at the time: ‘I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, but I think being here, I’ve realized, ‘Oh no, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer.’ I think that’s really cool. I’m switching letters.’
Later, while speaking to Us Weekly, the former Dance Moms personality said she thought the statement wouldn’t make it to television.
‘That was one of those conversations actually that I was having that I was like, ‘This will never see the light of day,” she said.
‘I don’t mind that it did, because I actually think it starts a very beautiful conversation of queer. I think queer joy is so special and so magical.’
JoJo went on to reject putting her sexuality ‘in a box.’
‘Queer is a beautiful umbrella term for the LGBTQIA community,’ she said.

Chris took a trip across the pond to visit his new flame before JoJo later flew to the UK, with the couple at last confirming their romance in early June as the American admitted she’s ‘head over heels’.
During an appearance on Capital Breakfast this week with host Jordan North , the 22-year-old said: ‘You know what’s interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together.
‘And this house is earthquake proof, and it’s fireproof, and bulletproof. And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it’s like… You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him.’
