JoJo Siwa and boyfriend Chris Hughes made a loved-up red carpet debut at the Dancers Against Cancers 2025 Gala in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.
The Karma hitmaker, 22, and the former Love Island star, 32, packed on the PDA as they kissed and held hands on the red carpet.
The duo — who struck up an unlikely romance on Big Brother UK earlier this year — flashed bright smiles as they took turns to sweetly kiss each other’s cheeks in front of the cameras.
The Dance Moms star — who recently broke down in tears on stage — cut a glamorous figure in a black gown with a large bow accent across her waist.
The sleeveless dress, which was adorned with a pearl neckline and crystal embellishments, also showed off her unique tattoo of a teddy bear with wings.
JoJo and Chris’ romance took fans by surprise, after the pair bonded on the reality TV show, during which the singer declared she no longer identifies as a lesbian but now sees herself as ‘queer.’

JoJo’s ensemble on Tuesday was completed with pointed-toe black heels. Her long blonde tresses featured delicate braids and shimmering silver highlights.
Meanwhile Chris was effortlessly stylish in a brown polka dot button-up and wide-leg white pants.
Dancers Against Cancers is a nonprofit organization that provides financial support to those within the dance community who have been affected by cancer.
It comes after JoJo recently gushed that Chris’ parents are her ‘future in-laws’ after his entire family attended her concert in Birmingham.
JoJo told the crowd she had some ‘guests of honor’ in attendance for the show.
Chris, who himself surprised JoJo at the show by presenting her with flowers backstage, could be seen sat alongside his parents Val and Paul and his brother Ben in the venue, joined by the singer’s parents Tom and Jessalynn.
Footage from the show then showed JoJo sharing a sweet nod to Chris’ parents being in attendance for the show, joking she was going to be on her ‘best behavior’.
She said: ‘Val give us your best wave from up there, do you have a good wave? In case that anybody doesn’t know, that’s the person who gave birth to my favourite person in the world. That’s the mother of the boy that makes me really happy.’
‘I’m very delighted to have the guests of honor tonight, Val and Paul Hughes everyone.’

‘It’s going to be a good show, I am on my best behavior this show,’ JoJo added, with the crowd then launching into a sea of boos.
JoJo then hit back: ‘Guys! My future mother and father in law are in the room. I can’t full on freak too hard tonight.’
Ahead of the concert, Chris surprised JoJo backstage with a bouquet of flowers, admitting that he made the impromptu decision to come to the show as he wasn’t going to see her ‘for a little while.’
It comes after JoJo insisted that she is not straight following questions surrounding her sexuality, as she stated that her current relationship with boyfriend Chris does not negate her previous romances with women.
She previously came out as pansexual and had a number of public same-sex romances, before falling for Love Island star Chris while in the Celebrity Big Brother house in April and now identifies as queer.
While the loved-up couple’s relationship has since gone from strength to strength, JoJo admitted she has experienced an ‘extreme amount of hate’ from the LGBTQ+ community for entering into a hetero romance.
Speaking on Sirius XM’s Smith Sisters Live, she admitted: ‘Nobody around me knows the extreme amount of hate that I’ve experienced from within the community.
‘Just because I’m in a hetero relationship does not mean I’m straight. And okay, just say all of a sudden I said, ”yeah, I’m straight”. Awesome. Who cares? Great. Beautiful. I’m still an ally then.’

JoJo then clarified: ‘I’m not straight. I mean, I am in love with a man. But my past doesn’t get to be discredited though because of that.’
‘The first time I ever fell in love with somebody was with a woman. And she was my best friend. And we had an incredible relationship. I’ve obviously been in a relationship with other women and non-binary person and now I’m with a man.’
She added: ‘I’ve never experienced a love like his. No-one has made me feel that way. It’s so destined to be together and the best thing that’s ever happened to me is falling in love with him.’
While the singer also gushed that Chris has always been supportive of her and how she identifies, recalling how he rushed to her defense in the CBB house after Mickey Rourke made a series of homophobic comments to her.
