JoJo Siwa makes loved-up red carpet debut with boyfriend Chris Hughes
"The Dance Moms star, who came out as a lesbian in 2021 but now identifies as queer, has spoken about the pressure to 'label' her sexuality since she started dating Chris Hughes earlier this year. In a recent interview, she said: "You just get put in this world where you feel like, because you now have said, 'Oh, I'm a lesbian,' you have to be a lesbian. And the truth is, sexuality is fluid.""
"Speaking on SiriusXM's Smith Sisters Live show, she said: "Just because I'm in a hetero[sexual] relationship does not mean I'm straight. And okay, just say all of a sudden I said 'yeah, I'm straight'. Awesome." The "Karma" singer continued: "I'm not straight." "I mean, I'm in love with a man... But my past doesn't get to be discredited though because of that.""
JoJo Siwa made a public red carpet appearance with boyfriend Chris Hughes at the Dancers Against Cancers 2025 Gala in Beverly Hills and was photographed sharing a kiss. Siwa wore an elegant black dress with pearl detailing and Hughes wore a brown polka-dot shirt with white trousers. Siwa, who came out as a lesbian in 2021 and now identifies as queer, described pressure to label her sexuality after beginning the relationship. Siwa clarified that being in a heterosexual relationship does not negate her queer identity and said her past should not be discredited.
