According to a source, Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa are set to take their relationship to the next level over the festive period with Chris preparing to pop the question
This Christmas could see a double celebration for couple-of-the-moment Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa, with both an engagement and baby-making plans on the horizon. According to a source, the lovebirds – who fell for one another while starring on Celebrity Big Brother in April – are set to take their relationship to the next level over the festive period, with Chris preparing to pop the question.
“They are very, very loved-up,” says our source. “They’re both very family-oriented and have common interests, and I know JoJo is really wanting to start a family. But so is Chris – more than her, actually – so I reckon it will be on the cards. It will be spoken about over Christmas and they’re going to have a wonderful festive period together. I think it will happen sooner rather than later.”

In fact, the couple are so eager to hear the patter of tiny feet, our source says we shouldn’t have to wait too long before there’s some good news to celebrate in 2026.
“All going well, I think they could announce a pregnancy early next year,” our source claims. “I know Chris would love it.” What’s more, a festive proposal is also in the pipeline, with besotted Chris keen to put a ring on it.
“I don’t think anyone would be surprised if they got engaged over Christmas,” says the source. “They’re the perfect match. They’re always smiling and laughing and are so into each other. So I can really see that [a proposal] happening, as well as the family for next year.”
The happy news will come as a relief to fans who were thrown into a panic last month after Chris, who turns 33 on 22 December, revealed on Celebrity MasterChef that he’s currently “single”. Telling viewers he lives alone, he added, “I’ve been single for three years, so it’s not like I’m cooking for anyone. If I’m just cooking for myself… no one can appreciate it, apart from me.
“It’s quite sad really, isn’t it? I need someone there to show off to in the kitchen.” Baffled viewers flocked to social media to air their confusion, with one asking, “Was this recorded before Chris and JoJo got together? Cause he just said one day I want to have a GF #celebritymasterchef.”
A second questioned, “Why is Chris saying he’s been single for 3 years? This was filmed after he met JoJo surely?! #masterchefuk.” Thankfully, another fan was quick to set the record straight, explaining, “They announced in May that he had filmed MasterChef before Big Brother. They didn’t know if it was ever actually going to air.”
Since their unlikely romance first blossomed, Chris and the former Dance Moms star’s relationship has gone from strength to strength, with the pair enjoying a blissful getaway in the Bahamas just last month.
Sharing a carousel of loved-up snaps online, smitten JoJo, 22, gave fans a glimpse of her and Chris’ sunshine break, which showed them enjoying dips in the hotel pool, playing tennis and golf together and cuddling on the beach.
“Our first holiday together,” she captioned her post on TikTok. “A perfect week in the Bahamas with my best friend, my forever love.” While JoJo is yet to speak publicly about her baby plans, she has already opened up about her dream wedding, insisting that Chris – who dated Little Mix star Jesy Nelson from January 2019 to April 2020, and split from pro golfer Annabel Dimmock in 2022 – will be very much part of the planning.
“A wedding is a two-person thing, so we would have to decide what it looks like,” she said. “But I do know that I want it to have a baby blue scheme and I need to help Chris make the playlist.” Chris famously reached the Love Island final alongside Olivia Atwood in 2017, and has since gone on to forge a career as a horse racing commentator on both the BBC and ITV. But it is his surprise romance with JoJo that’s really thrust him back into the spotlight.
Despite initially claiming their bond was based solely on friendship, in June JoJo – who was dating non-binary Australian influencer Kath Ebbs when she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house – confessed they’d fallen for one another, saying, “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.”
Echoing her sentiments, Chris described JoJo as “literally the love of my life”. In October, the couple made their first joint red carpet appearance at the Dancers Against Cancer 2025 Gala Of The Stars in LA, while the singer referred to Chris’ parents as her “future in-laws” when they went to see her in concert in Birmingham.
With Chris already close to JoJo’s mum and dad, our source says that both sets of parents are on board with their baby plans.
“The families are just really happy,” we’re told. “They have met and they adore it because Chris and JoJo are so happy. This isn’t a showbiz thing for the press. It’s the genuine article, so their families are happy that they want a family. It’s just all going in the right direction.”
One sticking point could be on which side of the pond Chris and JoJo finally choose to settle down. While Chris’ career as a sports pundit is very much based in the UK, JoJo has a huge fan base Stateside, where she’s been in the spotlight since she was 11 years old.
Our source says, “She’d rather be in LA than here and has looked for a house there.” Looks like the Hughes family could be clocking up some pretty serious Air Miles in the future, then.
