JoJo Siwa opens up about love, identity and starting a family
JoJo Siwa has spoken openly about love, sexuality and her future family plans with Chris Hughes in a new interview for Heart’s digital feature No Filter.
The American star reflected on navigating her identity in the public eye, saying she never overthought her journey and instead trusted her instincts. “I never questioned who I loved,” JoJo explained, recalling her first relationship with a girl. “We had a lovely nine-month long relationship, and that ended. We’re still homies, it’s fine, we’re friendly, it’s all good.”
She added that her family created an environment where she always felt supported. “Why would you question love? Why would you question who you are? Why would you question your happiness?” she said.
JoJo also discussed her current relationship with former Love Island star Chris Hughes. She revealed that she felt no hesitation confirming her love for him, despite public attention. “I never once questioned the love that I ended up having for him,” she said. “The whole point of sexuality, the whole point of gender identity, it’s fluid. Love is love and love who you want to love.”
While she admitted people often share opinions about her relationship, JoJo made it clear those views do not affect her. “It doesn’t matter at all because I fall asleep and I have the greatest man by my side,” she said. “Any love is beautiful, and if you’re lucky enough to experience it, don’t withhold yourself from it.”
Looking ahead, JoJo revealed she and Chris regularly talk about marriage and children. “I pester him about it, we pester each other about it,” she said, adding that their relationship developed quickly after they first became close friends. “I think we have a beautiful future ahead and I think it’s very fast and it’s very quick, but it feels so right.”
The 21-year-old hinted that family life is firmly on the horizon, with both of their families already close. “It’s everything I think anybody wants in life – to feel this way and then to make a family this way. Our families get along with each other and so it’s like we’re like one big family. It’s gorgeous.”
