JoJo Siwa Speaks Out: Setting the Record Straight on Her Sexuality

JoJo Siwa, 22, has officially set the record straight on her sexuality amid her budding romance with Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32; seen in May in NYC

JOJO SIWA SETS RECORD STRAIGHT ON HER SEXUALITY, FANS GO WILD OVER HER NEW BEAU

In a shocking turn of events, JoJo Siwa has finally opened up about her sexuality in an exclusive interview with E! News. The 22-year-old singer and TV personality, who was recently roasted by none other than Miley Cyrus, has been making headlines for weeks over her budding romance with Love Island star Chris Hughes.

But what's got everyone talking is JoJo's latest revelation: she's queer! In an attempt to clarify her previous identities as pansexual and lesbian, the Dance Moms alum explained that the term "queer" is now her preferred label. When asked about her decision, JoJo gushed:

It was confirmed earlier this month that the singer and TV personality are dating after first crossing paths on Celebrity Big Brother U.K. a few months earlier in April

"I think the most beautiful thing about the LGBTQIA community is love. And that goes both ways. There's loads of beautiful, different sexualities. Sexuality and queerness is a lovely rainbow that has all different places, and it also has places on this rainbow that we don't even know exist yet."

This bold move comes after JoJo was spotted cozying up with Chris Hughes, 32, on Celebrity Big Brother U.K. in April. At the time, fans speculated about their romantic connection, but JoJo remained tight-lipped about her feelings.

However, it seems the singer has finally found her voice – and her heart! When asked if she's "head over heels" for Chris, JoJo candidly replied: "I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes. It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him."

Siwa continued, 'There's loads of beautiful, different sexualities. Sexuality and queerness is a lovely rainbow that has all different places, and it also has places on this rainbow that we don't even know exist yet'; seen in 2024 in Sydney

But don't just take JoJo's word for it! Her fans are going wild over her new romance, with many taking to social media to express their support.

JOJO SIWA'S NEW BEAU CHRIS HUGHES GETS THE SCHOLARLYNOTE.COM TREATMENT

So who is Chris Hughes, exactly? The Love Island star has been making waves in the UK since his appearance on the popular reality show. And it seems JoJo Siwa was smitten from the get-go!

Back in April, the dancer first crossed paths with Hughes on Celebrity Big Brother - where they first developed a close friendship

In an interview with Capital Radio earlier this month, JoJo opened up about her new beau: "I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes... He makes me want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch!"

But don't worry, folks – JoJo hasn't abandoned her LGBTQ+ roots just yet! The singer has been vocal about promoting love and acceptance within the community.

When asked about her relationship with Chris, JoJo reassured fans: "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... 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."

But their bond caused viewers to speculate that there was more between them and in April following the show's afterparty, JoJo notably split from girlfriend and Australian influencer Kath Ebbs; Siwa and Ebbs seen in February in Sydney

It seems JoJo has finally found her forever home – with Chris Hughes by her side! But not everyone is happy about their love story...

MILEY CYRUS GETS ROASTED FOR SHADING JOJO SIWA

In a shocking turn of events, Miley Cyrus sparked outrage when she seemingly shaded JoJo Siwa during a video message for WorldPride. The Grammy winner quipped:

The media personality also expressed, 'It's not platonic any more, 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'

"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."

Fans were quick to call Miley out on her "joke," with many taking to social media to express their disappointment.

"Can ya'll just let bi people exist?" one fan penned. Another wrote: "I adore Miley, but this isn't OK." And another added: "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."

Siwa - who has had the chance to meet Hughes' parents - also stated that she is very happy with Chris and said that he makes her want to be a better person each day

But it seems JoJo has a kind heart and didn't take Miley's joke too seriously. In a lengthy post on her social media account, she revealed that she had reached out to Miley and even got a warm response.

"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.'"

JOJO SIWA SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON HER SEXUALITY

So there you have it – JoJo Siwa has finally set the record straight on her sexuality, and we couldn't be more proud of her! With her new beau Chris Hughes by her side, the singer is ready to take on the world.

As for Miley Cyrus's joke? Let's just say it didn't quite land as well as she had hoped. But hey, at least JoJo has a sense of humor about it!

In conclusion, this story is a reminder that love knows no bounds – and neither does identity! JoJo Siwa has proven once again that she's an advocate for love and acceptance within the LGBTQ+ community.

And to all our readers out there, remember: if you ever feel like you don't fit into one particular label or category, just be yourself and let your true colors shine!

After all, as JoJo Siwa so wisely put it: "The most beautiful thing about the LGBTQIA community is love. And that goes both ways."
