Chris Hughes Deletes Intimate Photo with JoJo Siwa Amid Backlash
Chris Hughes, a 32-year-old former Love Island contestant, recently shared a personal photo on Snapchat featuring himself and 22-year-old singer JoJo Siwa. In the image, Hughes is seen shirtless, kissing Siwa on the forehead as she rests her head on his chest. He captioned the photo "Sleeepinnn beauty." However, the post was swiftly deleted following significant online criticism.
Social media users expressed discomfort over the perceived age difference and the intimate nature of the photo. Comments included concerns about Siwa appearing "like a child next to him" and accusations of inappropriate behavior on Hughes' part. The incident has intensified ongoing speculation about the nature of their relationship.
Siwa, who gained fame through Dance Moms and has since built a successful music career, addressed the rumors during a recent appearance on ITV's Lorraine. She described Hughes as "the best man" and emphasized that they are not romantically involved. Siwa also mentioned that her parents have a close relationship with Hughes, with her father and Hughes becoming "literally best friends."
The pair met earlier this year on Celebrity Big Brother UK, where their close friendship began. Since then, they've been seen together on multiple occasions, including vacations and public events, often displaying affection. Despite the public's interest and speculation, both Hughes and Siwa have maintained that their relationship is platonic.
This incident highlights the challenges public figures face in maintaining personal boundaries while under constant scrutiny. As discussions around their relationship continue, both Hughes and Siwa have chosen to keep their personal lives private, focusing instead on their respective careers.
