On Friday, the pair shared new Instagram Stories of each other, marking National Girlfriends Day with pictures cuddled up together.
Chris shared a photo of them in a kitchen together, with Jojo leaning into his cheek as he put his arm around her.
On Jojo's story, she shared a snap of them on the sofa together, with Chris asleep on her chest.
"Happy national girlfriends day to me," she wrote on the snap. "Lucky lucky girl I am."
The new photos came on the same day that Jojo's ex, Kath Ebbs, went public with their new romance.
The non-binary star shared photobooth pics kissing Australian footballer Tilly Lucas-Rodd.
"The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!! 🚀" they wrote.
Kath and Jojo were dating for four months before Jojo's stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house, with the DJ giving their full support of Jojo as she entered.
However, things got complicated when fans became aware of how close Chris and Jojo were becoming, often sleeping in bed together and having a tactile friendship.
Flying over to reunite with Jojo at the final, the pair awkwardly broke up at the wrap party when Kath confronted their girlfriend about what they'd seen.

Chris and Jojo remained friends after leaving the house, but in the space of a few weeks admitted their relationship had become a romance.
Since then, the pair have been backing and forthing between Los Angeles and Essex to spend as much time as possible together.
However, they've been forced to fend off trolls who have questioned their romance, branding their 10-year age gap 'creepy' and criticising Jojo, who had come out as gay four years prior.
But Chris has defended their romance, telling The Sun: "Meeting Joelle [Jojo's real name] gave me this magical feeling. She is the most precious person.
'Life has an unexpected way of bringing two people together, and this feels like that. We were meant to cross paths.
"We keep saying to each other it was serendipity. Life handed me a blessing in my lap.'

Controversial star Lil Tay sparks backlash over her staggering OnlyFans earnings just hours after turning 18
Controversial star Lil Tay has prompted fierce backlash after revealing her staggering OnlyFans earnings with her 5.7 million Instagram followers - just hours after turning 18. The controversial influencer wasted no time launching an OnlyFans account - dropping the link just after midnight on her landmark birthday. She claimed the content was taken at exactly 12.01am, calling it 'freshly 18' content and adding in her bio: 'Please don't tell my mom.' Lil Tay promised fans glimpses of her 'birthday suits' and, within just two hours of joining the adult content platform, she had 100,000 subscribers. By the third hour, she had raked in over $1 million, posting a screenshot of her earnings with the caption: 'We broke the f**k out of that OnlyFans record.' But her announcement immediately prompted disgusted followers to brand the news as 'deranged' and slammed subscribers. 'You've been watching her since she was a child, and the second she turns 18, you're throwing money at her?' one user wrote. Another added, 'Whoever is paying y'all some f**kin creeps and weirdos.' Tay had been teasing the launch for weeks, conducting a public 'vote' on whether she should do it - tagging conservative commentator Michael Knowles, YouTubers like Jake Paul and Pearl Davis, and even Ben Shapiro. Knowles responded: 'No amount of money is worth your dignity.' But Pearl had a different opinion: 'You may as well do it because I don't think you have much else to offer to the world.' Even Lil Tay's half-brother Jason Tian seemed to be disturbed by her decision, as he appeared on her livestream yelling at her and taking her phone. Born Claire Eileen Qi Hope, Lil Tay first went viral in 2017 at age nine after posting videos full of foul language and violent behavior. It later came out that her brother Jason was feeding her lines off-camera, sparking concerns that she was being exploited by her family for money. Around the same time, her mom, Angela Tian, lost her job as a real estate agent for allegedly using her employer's properties and cars in her daughter's videos. After a brief hiatus her Instagram account suddenly went dark. Then, in 2018, the drama shifted to a custody battle between her estranged parents. Her father, Christopher Hope, wanted her to focus on music with more structure and oversight, while her mother and brother preferred her chaotic influencer persona. The situation escalated in 2019 and again in 2021 when Jason launched a GoFundMe and accused their father of abuse and stealing millions from Tay's earnings. Her father denied all allegations. Then in August 2023 a post from Tay's verified Instagram account claimed that both she and her brother had died. For 24 hours, fans believed it - though her father and ex-manager declined to confirm the news. A day later, TMZ reported that both siblings were alive. Lil Tay later alleged that the post was part of a hacking incident, though fans has suspicions that it was her father behind the hoax. Soon after, it was reported that her mother had gained full custody, and her father was ordered to pay $275,000 in child support. But the drama didn't stop there. In September 2024, Lil Tay's account announced she was in the ICU recovering from open-heart surgery after being diagnosed with a life-threatening tumor. The update included photos from her hospital bed and an echocardiogram. Now, less than a year later, she's back online, newly 18 and already stirring fresh controversy. While Tay seems to be excited about her 'comeback' - calling critics 'grown haters' and bragging, 'You can hate on me all you want, you can't say Lil Tay ain't winning.'

During his career he also hosted Whale On, Dial Midnight and Central Weekend Live for ITV, and Talk About for BBC One.

Kelly Osbourne says she won't 'be ok for a while' following Ozzy's death
Kelly Osbourne has spoken out for the first time since her father Ozzy Osbourne's death in an emotional message. The legendary heavy metal rocker died aged 76 on July 22, and was buried by the lake in the grounds of his Buckinghamshire mansion following a private church service last week. This followed a huge public outpouring of love and mourning from the crowd of thousands that gathered in Ozzy's home city of Birmingham for an emotional funeral procession through its streets the previous day, just weeks after his final ever show there, at Villa Park. Taking to social media, Kelly thanked fans for their support during this difficult time and reflected on her own grief. 'I've sat down to write this a hundred times and still don't know if the words will ever feel like enough…but from the bottom of my heart thank you. 'The love, support, and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. 'Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain,' she penned in an emotional post on her Instagram story. She added that she wouldn't be ok for some time, but felt supported by the knowledge that so many people are grieving with her. 'Grief is a strange thing – it sneaks up on you in waves- I will not be ok for a while – but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. 'I am holding tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. 'Thank you for being there. I love you all so much – Kelly. #BirminghamForever #Ozzy Forever.' The song playing in the background of the post was her father's hit tune See You on the Other Side. Last week, Kelly returned to Instagram late on Friday in one of her first social posts since her beloved dad's funeral. More Trending She shared a single image to her stories with no additional comment, but the picture spoke for itself. Reality show star Kelly, 40, had photographed a picture of a purple funeral wreath for Ozzy, by the lake, which simply – and appropriately – read: 'Ozzy F***ing Osbourne'. At the Back to the Beginning last gig, just weeks before the rocker's death, Kelly's fiancé Sid Wilson proposed. Got a story?
