Jojo Siwa has a guilty pleasure she’s letting out of the bag.
As she and boyfriendChris Hughesthink about their future together, it turns out the Dance Momsalum is doing a little more than just imagining when it comes to her boyfriend getting down on one knee.
“He got me this ring for Christmas last year,” Siwa told E! News at the Dancers Against Cancer Gala’s of the Stars event on Oct. 22 of the jewelry she wore on her right hand. Adding to her boyfriend, “You don’t know that I do this. I wear this every day, I’ve never taken it off—sometimes I’ll switch it to my other hand just see what it feels like.”
The revelation that Siwa takes Hughes’ gift on a trial run on thatfinger was indeed news to the 33-year-old.
“I didn’t know she did that, but now I do,” he admitted, adding with a big smile, “It’s kind of cute.”
Siwa, however, revealed that sometimes she forgets to remove the jewelry from her left hand. But there’s no drama.

“I’ll forget that I’ve done it,” the 23-year-old said, “and I’m like, ‘Oh crap, it’s been there too long. Someone’s going to get a photo or something.’”
As for whether Siwa and Hughes—who met while filmingCelebrity Big Brotherin the UK—do see themselves walking down the aisle, she says to ask her better half.
“Somebody asked me on the carpet yesterday at the Industry Dance Awards,” she said, “they were like, ‘Is the wedd—,’ and I said, ‘You bug him tomorrow about it.’”
And though Hughes doesn’t have a timeline set in stone, he’s long been preparing for some good karma when they do take that leap.
“Yeah, one day, of course,” he said. “I think that’s the goal for anyone in life. That’s all part of life; family, weddings, all that kind of thing. So, yeah, no, but one step at a time.”
After all, they’re in no rush, with Siwa adding, “We’re in a very happy phase of life right now.”
A happy phase that involves giving back where they can, including at the gala. There, Siwa performed an emotional rendition of her song “Boomerang.”
For Hughes, it was just one example of how proud Siwa makes him “every day.”
“It’s amazing,” he said. “She does great work and that performance tonight is going to be incredible.”
But until Siwa and Hughes dance into their next relationship milestone, read on to see their journey together so far.

“He’s amazing and I couldn’t have imagined anyone better,” the Dance Moms alum gushed to mom Jessalynn Siwa of the musician.
But by that November, the pair were no longer in harmony.
“Mark doesn’t deserve hateful things like this,” Siwa wrote on Instagram, defending her recent ex. “He deserves to have people support him. You have NO idea about mark and I’s relationship. how much fun it was. how happy we both were, and how happy we both are. We decided it’s best for us to not be in a relationship…. that’s all.”
Siwa also credited “the most amazing, wonderful, perfect, most beautiful girlfriend in the whole world,” with encouraging her to share her true self. Having already filmed content with Pride House, a collective of LGBTQ+ TikTok creators, and a TikTok of herself dancing to Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” anthem, the reality TV vet was debating whether she wanted to share a pic of her new “Best Gay Cousin Ever” shirt.
“I was like, ‘I kinda just want to post this picture on my Reels story,’ and she was super encouraging,'” Siwa detailed on The Tonight Show. “She was like, ‘Do it!’ And I was like, ‘All right,’ and I did it.”
Though the pair moved in together (“Looking back, all of us are like, ‘That should’ve never happened,” Siwa admitted on the Call Her Daddy podcast in April 2024), they split that October, reuniting for one final dance in 2022.
Prew is still her “good friend,” Siwa told Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper, noting they talk “all the time.”
She’d played the field, she continued, and snagged herself a catch in Katie Mills.
“Listen, I went around the block,” Siwa teased. “I tried a lot, and I learned a lot and I’m very, very, very happy where I am now.”
But safe to say her romance with the TikToker wasn’t all fun and games.
When Siwa posted a March 2023 clip calling out “love bombing” and “clout chasing” behavior from unnamed exes, Mills dropped a few bombs of her own.
“I’m done being quiet,” she said in her own TikTok that month. “You hold a lot of power, you and your platform. How can you tell someone you love them and ghost them the next day, and then post all over the internet that we’re clout chasers and love bombers? I don’t get it.”
What’s more, she continued, Siwa was the one to make their romance public, while Mills asked permission before posting any glimpses into their love. And, stressed Mills, “I have the text receipts to prove it, so don’t come at me.”
When they celebrated their 12-day anniversary, the singer said life together was a D.R.E.A.M. “Our personalities mash together so well, and I think that’s something that is really important,” Siwa told E! News that October. “She is so positive. She makes me feel so good. I believe that I make her feel so good.”
But the vibes changed that December. Two days after Cyrus confirmed they’d ended their romance, Siwa cryptically called out a person who she said took advantage of her fame.
“I got used, for views and for clout,” she griped in a Decemer 2022 video that her mom shared to her Instagram Story. “I got tricked into being told I was loved and I got f–king played.”
For Cyrus, though, their dalliance wasn’t a game.
“From my perspective, me and JoJo left on great terms and are still friends,” she exclusively told E! News in a statement. “The relationship was very real, and I have nothing but love for JoJo and her family.”
For several months, Wilson proved to be the perfect dance partner. Siwa shared that the teen was “on board” with her plan to have triplets in the near future and she eagerly dropped $30,000 on her 19th birthday celebration in Hawaii.
“We are very madly in love,” the former Nickelodeon star gushed to E! News. “She is a very, very special girl. I’m very lucky to have her in my life.”
But it turned out that Wilson wasn’t all Siwa wanted for Christmas.
“We have gone our separate ways, but she is an amazing girl,” Siwa told People in November 2024. “And I got my own fun holiday plans, and I know she’s got her family that she’s spent the holidays with.”
Ebbs also returned the love, posting photos of the pair kissing that same month. They wrote on Instagram, “Bit of queer joy for ya feed today!!”
However, just three months later, Ebbs revealed they called it quits during the wrap-party for Celebrity Big Brother UK.
“I was told that there are confused feelings there—do with that what you will,” Ebbs detailed in an April 2025 TikTok, “and that they had realized in the house that I wasn’t the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable future with.”
But Siwa insisted this wasn’t an everyone’s replaceable situation despite her close bond with fellow housemate Chris Hughes.
Rather, during filming, “I was now in my own thoughts away from everyone that I know, away from outside opinions, away from everything,” Siwa reflected during an April 28 appearance on ITV’s This Morning alongside Hughes. “And I sat with myself and from that point on, I really realized things that I was okay with in my life that I should never have been okay with in the first place.”
“Christopher is my favorite thing to talk about,” she gushed of the Love Island alum to E! News’ Keltie Knight at the grand opening of Universal’s Epic Universe May 21. “I shouldn’t call him a thing—he’s my favorite person to talk about.”
And, yet, she kept reiterating, they were just friends. Until they weren’t.
“It’s not platonic any more,” Siwa acknowledged to The Guardian in a June 2025 interview, “and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”
As for how she’d define her sexuality, she still feels that “queer” best “encompasses how I am, and who I am.” But she’s a love the person, not the label type.
“There’s a lot of different sexual identities,” Siwa noted. “I think there’s nothing more beautiful than somebody discovering themselves.”
