'They Could Be Married Before Christmas': Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa's Love Story Takes a Serendipitous Turn

Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa met on Celebrity Big Brother in April - and already there's talk of a wedding

Reality TV HEAVEN: Love Island's Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa Set to Tie the Knot?

Deep within the picturesque village of Temple Guiting, a centuries-old secret is brewing – and it's one that will leave fans of reality TV on the edge of their seats! St Mary's Church, a stunning 12th-century gem nestled among leafy lanes, has been chosen by none other than Love Island heartthrob Chris Hughes as his dream wedding venue. And who better to walk down the aisle with him than his stunning American girlfriend JoJo Siwa?

The news has left fans of the reality TV duo swooning – and we can't blame them! With their whirlwind romance that's captivated the nation, it's no wonder Chris's parents are jumping for joy at the prospect of becoming grandparents. Paul and Valerie Hughes, beaming with pride, have opened up to The Scholarly Note about their love match.

"We're over the moon!" gushes proud papa Paul, 68. "JoJo is a lovely down-to-earth girl who just clicked with Chris from the moment they met on Celebrity Big Brother in April. We'd love it if they got married before Christmas – and what better place to tie the knot than our very own St Mary's Church?"

But this isn't the first time JoJo, 22, has made headlines for her high-profile romances. The singer-dancer-social media sensation has a history of controversy, having been accused of being "gay baiting" on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year. But JoJo claims she was simply "boxed in" by labels and felt pressured to conform.

"I didn't care about gender in relationships," the pop star told The Scholarly Note. "I just want to love whoever I want, without fear of judgment."

JoJo was, after all, something of a lesbian poster girl, having come out, aged 17 by posting a photo to Instagram of her wearing a t-shirt that read: ‘Best Gay Cousin Ever’

And it seems Chris is head over heels for her – or should we say, head over heart? Insiders close to the couple claim they've been discussing marriage and children as soon as possible.

"I'm happy," JoJo gushed on a recent podcast. "I've never wanted the future so bad... I want a ring, my dad to walk me down the aisle, first dance, butterflies – the whole nine yards!"

But Chris is no stranger to controversy either. His ex-girlfriends include fellow Love Islander Olivia Attwood and Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson – and now he's caught the eye of America's sweetheart JoJo Siwa.

So what makes their love story so special? For one, they're both huge fans of each other's families – with Chris even joining in on a recent dinner date at his girlfriend's family home. "We had pizza, beer, and Nintendo together," he gushed to The Scholarly Note. "It was like we were one big happy family!"

And it seems the feeling is mutual! JoJo's mum Jessalynn has been spotted following Chris's mom Valerie on social media – and the two families are set to meet soon.

But what about the drama that unfolded in Celebrity Big Brother? JoJo faced backlash from fans of her former partner Kath Ebbs, who accused her of "using" them for fame. But sources close to the couple claim they're now stronger than ever.

The couple have both been talking marriage and children; most recently on a podcast this week, where JoJo gushed: ‘I’m happy, I’ve never wanted the future so bad. I’ve never, ever wanted the love that I have to just continue to grow'

"It's like we were never apart," Chris gushed on a podcast. "We've been through so much together, and it's only made our love grow."

As the wedding bells start to chime in Temple Guiting, fans can't help but wonder: what's next for this whirlwind romance? Will they tie the knot in a fairytale ceremony at St Mary's Church, or will they opt for a more low-key affair?

One thing's for sure – we'll be watching with bated breath as these two reality TV royalty take their love to the next level.
