JoJo Siwa gushes over Chris Hughes' sweaty pics but her mum's reply outdoes her
JoJo Siwa certainly hasn't been shy on holding back her true feelings for boyfriend Chris Hughes as her mum takes it to a whole different level. The former Dance Moms star, 22, shocked fans when her romance with Love Island's Chris, 32, unfolded after leaving Celebrity Big Brother.
They have since gone from strength to strength as they battle to make their relationship work across both sides of the Atlantic. JoJo, or as Chris calls her Joelle, has been spending time in the UK to be with the horse racing commentator and has even introduced him to her family.
Chris has got the seal of approval from JoJo's mum and manager Jessaylnn as well as dad Tom. Over the weekend, Chris unveiled his latest photoshoot for a magazine as he stripped down to a white vest and posed in a sultry sweaty snap.
It wasn't long until JoJo decided to share the photo with her own followers and added a very gushing comment. "What a man," she declared. "Obviously beautiful from the outside...but his core is more beautiful than anyone could even begin to imagine.
"This article captures a bit of that. I'm lucky that I get to experience it in full everyday." Chris also shared photos from the American gas station inspired shoot and the compliments from JoJo just kept coming.
She wrote: "Unreal. Absolutely gorgeous photos, and beyond beautiful interview. Special boy you are, and lucky girl I am." However, her mum made a very eyebrow raising remark that sent the couple's followers into a spin.
Jessalynn commented: "The fun that your mom and I are going to have planning that wedding is going to be off the charts." Fans were stunned by the declaration as wedding bells could very certainly be on the cards.
One fan replied: "oh my heart." Another added: "omg the best women to have helping you plan your wedding." Someone else commented: "awwww this is soo sweet."
Chris opened up on his romance with JoJo for the first time with Fabulous magazine, as he admitted she gave him a "magical feeling" he hadn't experienced before. When they met, JoJo was in a relationship with 27-year-old Australian actor Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary.
However, she broke up with Kath at the Big Brother wrap party. Speaking to The Sun, Chris said he and JoJo "gravitated towards each other" while on Celebrity Big Brother - but he insisted they were only friends at the beginning.
He admitted that he began feeling "confused" about his feelings towards the end of the show and said that when JoJo flew back home to the US, she felt "upset" and he was "sad" to see her go.
Chris even spoke about wedding bells as he admitted: 'I'd love to marry her. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day. We'd have a proper English wedding and I can imagine her in a full wedding dress. We both want kids. We come from loving families. My mum loves her. She's my best friend."
Earlier this month, a source said Chris is ready to "pop the question" to JoJo. "Chris is smitten. He can't believe his luck. He and JoJo have got the most lovely thing going on here. It came from nowhere but they are so in love already – it has happened so quickly," the source claimed.
"Anyone who knows Chris says that they can see him popping the question at any moment – it has been a whirlwind, a fairytale. The love is real and it is wonderful for anyone who knows Chris to see. She is besotted, too, things are moving very fast."

Melbourne International Film Festival
It's lights, camera, action for the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) this August, when a red carpet will be rolled out for a massive eighteen days of cinematic revelry. The festival celebrates Australian and international filmmaking with a program of more than 275 films. With so much to see, we've cut through the curtain to unveil everything you need to know. What is the Melbourne International Film Festival? Now in its 73rd year, MIFF is one of the oldest film festivals in the world, alongside Cannes and Berlin. The annual festival is held over three weeks each year throughout Melbourne and surrounds. Founded in 1952, the festival presents a curated global program of screen experiences and the world's largest showcase of Australian filmmaking. When is the Melbourne International Film Festival? Running between August 7 and 24, MIFF will include 18 days of bold in-cinema programming with star-studded events, world premiere screenings, headline features and filmmaker talks. What sort of things can we expect from the program? Drumroll, please! The full MIFF line-up has just dropped, and let's just say it's getting a standing ovation (Cannes style, of course) from us. The 2025 program will feature more than 275 screen works – including both international and local picks – alongside a curated schedule of talks, panels and special events. Kicking things off with a bang on August 7 is the Opening Night Gala Feature Film: If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, by writer-director Mary Bronstein and starring Australia's own Rose Byrne. Our Melbourne-based critic Stephen A Russell reviewed the film for Time Out when it premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, giving it five stars and calling Byrne's performance "a tour de force of matriarchal power". Returning for its second year, MIFF's Premiere With Purpose Gala, presented by Decjuba, will screen Prime Minister on August 14 at ACMI. The documentary follows Jacinda Ardern's tenure as New Zealand PM, as she navigates crises and redefines global leadership with her empathetic yet resolute approach. The MIFF Headliners program is where you'll find all the hot, buzzy films from the festival circuit. We're talking about Jafar Panahi's It Was Just An Accident, which is fresh off winning the coveted Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival; Kristen Stewart's directorial debut The Chronology of Water, a poetic adaptation of writer Lidia Yuknavitch's visceral 2011 memoir; The Mastermind by film auteur Kelly Reichardt, starring Josh O'Connor in a profound exploration of American masculinity; Twinless, a dark queer comedy starring Dylan O'Brien; and Lurker, a thriller by the producer and screenwriter of The Bear and Beef. Some Aussie highlights include Jimmy Barnes: Working Class Man, which paints a comprehensive portrait of the Cold Chisel frontman through unprecedented behind-the-scenes access and interviews; and Yurlu | Country, and inspiring ode to Country that explores Banjima Elder Maitland Parker's fight to reclaim his asbestos-tainted homeland. On August 11 and 12, don't miss J ulia Holter: The Passion of Joan of Arc – an Australian premiere that's exclusive to MIFF. The live-score event reimagines the famed 1982 French film by visionary Danish director, Carl Theodor Dreye and involves composer and singer-songwriter Holter performing alongside her band, Hugh Brunt from the London Contemporary Orchestra and a local ensemble. In partnership with Now or Never, When the World Came Flooding In is part immersive installation and part VR documentary. This world premiere explores the intimate stories of life during a natural disaster. Time Out Melbourne (yep, that's us!) is also presenting a film. Birthright is Zoe Pepper's razor-sharp debut that dives into themes of generational wealth and millennial desperation. The story follows a recently unemployed and evicted man who must move back into his childhood home with his retiree parents and heavily pregnant wife. Phew! And that's only scratching the surface – for the full program, which features more docos, local flicks, short films, international blockbusters, the Bright Horizons competition and MIFF Premier Funs, head here. How much are tickets for the Melbourne International Film Festival? A Multipass-12 to MIFF gives you 12 standard festival admissions, which you can enjoy by yourself or share with friends. The full price for a share pass is $285.60 or $257.10 for concession holders. There's also a Multipass-6 on offer for $151.20 or $136.10 for concession holders. Single session tickets are also available to purchase.

Love Island's Cach breaks down in tears and is comforted by Ty in heart-wrenching scenes after dramatic recoupling as fans urge 'protect him at all costs!'
Love Island's Cacherel 'Cach' Mercer broke down in tears during Wednesday's episode following the dramatic recoupling which saw Toni Laites recouple with Harrison. Toni surprised the villa on Monday night when she picked to recouple with Harrison instead of Cach, despite telling him she was done with him. Cach entered as a Casa Amor bombshell and swept Toni off her feet, while she was on and off with Harrison. The shock turn of events left Cach in tears as he took a moment on the terrace to cry on Ty's shoulder - which left fans in tears. 'I can't believe I'm crying. I haven't cried in years,' Cach told Ty. Ty told him: 'This is real though, it's you. It's better to let stuff like this out than bottle it up. It doesn't make you any less of a man, in fact more of a man.' Love Island fans were left in tears as they took to X to share their heartbreak and urged to 'protect him at all costs'. Some comments read: 'Cach is breaking my heart', 'CASH I AM SO SORRY YOU ARE BREAKING MY HEART!!! YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!', 'Protect Cache at all costs my heart is breaking for him', 'This is so hard to watch! Cach crying really breaks my heart', 'Okay now seeing Cach cry? My heart is breaking for this poor boy. He has a heart of gold', 'Nah, seeing 2 men like this is so beautiful. A man crying & being comforted by another man. Wow. Heart warming scenes man'. Toni and Harrison took their exes for a chat following the explosive and upsetting recoupling to explain and apologise - but neither of them have any of it. Love Island fans were left in tears as they took to X to share their heartbreak and urged to 'protect him at all costs' Cach didn't hold back as he told Toni: 'That was one of the most embarrassing things I've been through in my entire life… 'You knew what decision you wanted to make, you were just waiting for the go ahead from someone else.' As he walked off, he said: 'I can't respect that. Good luck with your endeavours.' Lauren Wood told Harrison: 'I've wasted my whole time getting to know you for no reason… To do what you've done to me tonight is so disrespectful.' 'I feel like everything has been a lie.' Love Island fans have branded Harrison 'disgusting' after he crawled back to Toni after having sex with Lauren during Tuesday night's episode and admitted it wasn't the first time. As the couple's settled down to sleep, one pair had other ideas as they were seen getting frisky under the covers. And it wasn't long until they took things to the next level as Harrison was seen whispering across the beds as he asked Harry whether he had a condom. After Harry passed the wrapper to his friend, Lauren was seen climbing on top of Harrison before the camera panned away to show their islanders shocked faces. And the next day as Lauren chatted with Helena and Meg, she confessed it wasn't the first time the couple had slept together as she admitted they had gone all the way the other night too. Yet despite the intimacy, Harrison was quick to change his mind on who he had a greater connection with as he went crawling back to Toni after news of a shock recoupling. Speaking to Harry he confessed: 'I want Toni' before he met with her on the terrace to beg her to give him another chance. And shockingly Toni once again chose to give things another go with her former flame, despite insisting she was 'done' earlier in the episode. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans didn't hold back with their comments as they penned: 'Harrison is disgusting you're having sex with Lauren knowing you don't even like her and Lauren is just a whole mess both of you go home I'm sick of it'. 'And she still doesn't know he's sh****d Lauren twice this is so dirty someone intervene'; 'I beg Lauren stands up and mentions they sh****d twice Harrison ain't even told Toni yet loool'; Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans didn't hold back with their comments as they penned: 'Harrison is disgusting you're having sex with Lauren knowing you don't even like her and Lauren is just a whole mess both of you go home I'm sick of it' Toni and Harrison have had a rollercoaster journey since Harrison brought back the bombshell to the main villa after Casa Amor 'had sex with lauren TWICE mind you, now he wants toni back'; 'Harrison wants Toni but he's having sex with Lauren. Toni and Harrison are such weirdos'; 'Harrison asking for a condom and proceeding to have sex in a room full of people ??? Disgusting'; 'How do they feel so comfortable having sex with people in the room?!'; 'Having sex with other people in the room is one thing, but on NATIONAL TV??'; 'Where is Toni sleeping? Cos if Harrison & Lauren are having sex in the same room, the respect is below hell'; 'harrison and lauren are CRAZY bc how are you having sex in a room full of people AND asking for a condom'. Harrison and Toni officially recoupled at the end of the episode, while Lauren was left in tears after she was forced to recouple with Ty. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
