Chris Hughes, 32, reveals nickname girlfriend JoJo Siwa, 22, has for his private parts in shocking X-rated confession
has revealed the nickname his girlfriend JoJo Siwa has for his private parts in a shocking X-rated confession. The former Love Islander, 32, found love with the singer, 22, on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year - shocking fans with their unlikely romance. And the star told E! News this week in a new interview: 'She calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy. So she must like Jimmy and Timmy,' adding that she loves 'the rhyming lingo.' He also sweetly described JoJo as the 'love of his life' in the chat after confirming they were officially in a relationship last month. Chris said: 'She's literally the love of my life, but she's also my best friend. Like, we sit and do nothing together.' He also explained that the pair only formally had their first date together recently as they prefer to spend time in each other's company instead. He recalled: 'We went up to Malibu and we went for a lovely dinner and it was like a date night. On the way back - it was like an hour drive home - we parked up and we said to each other, 'That was actually our first proper date together.'' The TV star explained that the experience further solidified the belief that he and JoJo, 22, are the ideal match for each other. JoJo revealed last month that she had 'so many thoughts' about marrying Chris. Speaking to TMZ, JoJo said: 'He is my favourite person in the world... It's beautiful, it kind of radiates. He's my favourite person and I am very grateful and very happy.' The former Nickelodeon star also rubbished suggestions that the pair's romance was merely a 'PR stunt'. She told The Guardian newspaper: 'Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.' However, JoJo does understand why others are intrigued that she and Chris are together. She said: 'People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop. 'I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them.' Last week Chris proved he had fully settled into girlfriend JoJo 's family in an Instagram post. Earlier that week Chris flew across the Atlantic to reunite with JoJo and he couldn't hide his love for her during the trip. The couple were previously spotted holding hands as they left The NOW Massage parlour together, with Chris treating her to a massage. And on the Saturday night, he further showed his obsession for JoJo as he posted a snap on social media and made it clear the family have fully taken him in already. The former Love Island star shared a snap of a framed picture set up in the family home which showed the lovebirds hugging, alongside snaps of the Dance Moms star's family. It was placed next to other photos of her loved ones, suggesting that her parents approve of their romance - and that they are fond of Chris. Earlier on in the night, Chris made himself at home as he enjoyed a takeaway with her nearest and dearest. On his Story, he tagged JoJo's mum Jessalynn alongside some delicious food they had eaten. A few slides after, and he was posing with JoJo's family pooch, sharing a black-and-white snap with his followers. Insinuating that he didn't want to leave, he wrote: 'Had the best few days. It's so beautiful here.' It certainly wasn't a showbiz relationship anyone saw coming, and when the former Love Island star and the former Dance Moms star met, JoJo was in a relationship with her ex partner Kath Ebbs. Confirming on CBB that she identifies as queer, she has openly discussed how Chris is her first relationship with a man.

Stephen A. Smith claims Trump's Redskins demand is a distraction from Epstein scandal
President Donald Trump 's latest attempt to use his influence in the world of sports has seen him try and strong-arm the owners of the Washington Commanders to bring back their controversial former nickname. In recent days, Trump has decided to push back on ' woke culture' in sports by demanding two professional sports franchises revert back to names involving Indigenous people. The president has demanded that baseball's Cleveland Guardians and football's Washington Commanders return to their old monikers: the Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins, respectively. If either of those things came to fruition, it would be a prickly situation. But Trump went further on Monday by saying that he'd withhold funds to the Commanders' planned re-development of RFK Stadium in the city limits of Washington, DC. The team announced they'd be putting multiple billions of dollars of their own money into the development, but is also requesting that the federal government - which owns the property on which the stadium stands - chips in $1billion from the city budget. 'I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original "Washington Redskins" and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, "Washington Commanders, I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington,' Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday. More SAS on Trump calling for the return of the Redskins name: "By the looks of the laws, and what has transpired on the books, it seems to be little to nothing that Trump can do about this other than make noise. But again, it does assist him in appealing to his base. We… — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) July 21, 2025 Speaking about the issue on ESPN's 'First Take', host Stephen A. Smith offered his opinion that Trump was using this to distract his base of support from other issues - most notably, the President's attempts to discredit or ignore the existence of files related to Trump's former friend, financier, and convicted child sex offender Jeffery Epstein. 'Well, I think it's the President being petty,' Smith said on the show. 'I think it's him being evasive because the reality is that no matter how good he wants people to believe things are with the Big, Beautiful Bill and other things that have been transpiring, tariff wars, the border issues or whatever. 'If you're on the right, obviously, you're happy with a lot of things that are going on, and there's nothing to take credit away from that. I'll leave the political evaluations to other people. But nevertheless, there are millions upon millions of people in the United States of America that are not necessarily happy some of the things that he's doing. 'So what does he do? He caters to his base. Because when you look at the Redskins' name, obviously, it's something that needed to be changed. And by him bringing that issue up, we all know from a political landscape, it's much ado about nothing. 'It's just him catering to his base to make sure that he serves to appease them in some way, to distract them from other issues, including the Epstein files, by the way, because a lot of people associated with the MAGA Right want those files released. 'And you even have Republican representatives on the Hill wanting those files released, wanting to see for themselves because they're not buying what the administration is saying when they say that there's absolutely nothing there.' In another clip, Smith noted that Trump's executive orders to cut down on the size of the federal government has mean he's 'proceeded to let go [of] nearly 300,000 federal employees since he's taken office' and that because of that, his actions could result in Commanders owners - led by Josh Harris - could feel a 'pinch' from the government. Leah Muskin-Pierret of Washington DC works on signs as part of a Native Americans protest against the Redskins team name in 2017. The team would change its name three years later. But while the stadium sits on federal land, former President Biden signed a 99 year lease for the District of Columbia to take over ownership of the site on which the team plans to build the stadium. Of course, Trump could cancel that lease - or put up any number of roadblocks to delay the team building up the stadium. But at the end of the day, there's nothing legally that the president could do to force the Washington football team or the Cleveland baseball team - both of which are private businesses - to change their name. Moreover, if Trump puts up road blocks to slow or halt altogether the building of a stadium at the RFK site, Harris and the Commanders could simply back out of the project and find a new location to build a new stadium. Harris previously pledged not to change the name of the team, despite calls from some former fans and at least one Native American group to bring it back. Plenty of other Native American groups and indigenous people continue to see the 'Redskins' moniker as offensive. But there's one other person who might take issue with Donald Trump using the power of the Presidency to interfere with something like this: Donald Trump. After the situation unfolded over the weekend, internet sleuths uncovered a tweet that Trump posted back in 2013: 'President should not be telling the Washington Redskins to change their name-our country has far bigger problems! FOCUS on them, not nonsense.'

Parents Follow 1 Naming Rule with All Their Kids, but Then Make Major Switch Up with Youngest Son
A teen shares how his family's longtime nickname makes him feel invisible, especially when they proudly exclude him from photos and family postsNEED TO KNOW A teen says being the only sibling without a 'Jo' name makes him feel excluded from his family's nickname, 'The Jo's' He says his parents and siblings proudly use the nickname even though his name differs from the rest When he expressed his hurt, his family dismissed him as 'oversensitive' and accused him of throwing a 'pity party'A teen feels unsupported by his parents after expressing disappointment over his name, which varies from the rest of his family. In a post on Reddit, the 16-year-old explains that his parents both have names beginning with "Jo," and they passed that tradition on to all of his older siblings, such as 'Josephine, Joseph, Josalyn, etc." However, the poster, who has an eight-plus-year age gap with his siblings, "was given a C name." "So I'm the only person who doesn't have Jo in my name," he explains. "While in some ways it's less confusing, it hurts because my family often get called The Jo's as a nickname and sign cards from everyone like that, it excludes me. They never use the Doe Family. It's always The Jo's." 'More often than not people either forget I'm a member of the family or act weird when my name is so different,' he adds. He notes that he doesn't have a close relationship with his family, which makes the exclusion sting even more. His parents, he says, frequently boast about the family having correlated names, even though it isn't true. 'My parents even talk about how important it was for them to keep it going,' he writes, frustrated that they left him out of that narrative. When he asked about how they chose his name, the answer wasn't comforting. 'They said it was just one they heard and decided to use and there was no reason for it,' he shares. 'They didn't even give it any real thought.' On a recent family vacation with his older siblings and their in-laws, things escalated. Social media posts from the trip were filled with captions about vacationing with 'The Jo's.' 'I was actually left out of lots of photos where that was focused on," he writes. Some of the in-laws' relatives even assumed he wasn't really part of the family. 'Some of the kids in their ILs families thought I was a cousin or a foster kid or something,' he reveals. The experience left him withdrawing from the trip entirely. 'When we got home my parents didn't notice,' he shares. They continued to post photos from the vacation that didn't include him, of course, captioned with the family nickname. Later, when his parents asked him for more photos to add to their collection, he decided to speak up. 'They said they wanted to keep them all in the Jo albums,' he explains. Seeing an opportunity, he told them how the family nickname makes him feel. However, the conversation didn't go as he hoped. 'My parents got annoyed at me,' he writes. 'They told me to quit being dramatic and I'm family so what the hell does it matter.' They dismissed his feelings, saying he was 'oversensitive." 'They wouldn't apologize for not pandering to my emotions,' he says, noting that his parents then complained to his siblings, who also sided against him. 'They were all like way to throw a pity party or make it about yourself," he shares. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Despite his family's feelings, users in the comments were quick to support him. 'At first I thought this was going to be a NAH because it's not the end of the world that your parents named you something off theme," one person wrote. "Referring to the family as 'The Jo's' should have stopped the day you were born and actively posting family photos without you in them is beyond rude!' The teen agreed, noting that the name itself isn't the real issue. 'The name thing alone would definitely be a really small thing if it wasn't for the nickname always being used and the way they talk,' he replied. 'It's like they acknowledge I'm not really a part of the family.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Big Dumper nickname has business booming for Cal Raleigh
Cal Raleigh leads the major leagues in homers ... and in the catchiest nickname department. (Credit: Getty Images) Jamie Mottram was sitting on a gold mine — even if he didn't initially realize it. As the president of Breaking T, Mottram is always on the lookout for the next viral sensation in sports. His merchandise company specializes in quickly identifying moments that get sports fans talking and then rushing viral products into the market. Advertisement When second-year Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit a walk-off home run to end the franchise's 21-year playoff drought in September 2022, Breaking T sprang into action with a 'Drought Buster' shirt commemorating the historic moment for Seattle fans. 'I don't even know that we were aware of Big Dumper as a nickname at that time,' Mottram joked of the process for creating his company's first Raleigh product. "It was just, Seattle's got this catcher who hit a massive home run, and since then it kind of snowballed with the nickname becoming so much more prevalent.' Mottram's designers did add the words 'Big Dumper' in small type to that shirt in 2022, but the company didn't fully lean into one of the most colorful nicknames in sports until this season. Breaking T has really gotten into the spirit of Cal Raleigh's colorful nickname. (Credit: Breaking T) Raleigh was given the nickname by former teammate Jarred Kelenic during their days together in the minor leagues when Kelenic made a reference to the catcher's generous backside. Advertisement When Raleigh was called up to the majors in 2021, Kelenic tweeted, 'Dumper to the show,' and Raleigh's famous moniker quickly became a fan favorite. 'With him being a very good catcher the last couple seasons, coming into this year, that's kind of what he was for us as a national sports brand that creates baseball merchandise. He was a nice player with a great nickname in that market,' Mottram said. 'Now, this year he's hitting home runs at a historic pace, and everyone knows (not only) his name, but his nickname.' With an American League-record 38 home runs before the All-Star break, a number trailing only Barry Bonds' 39 in 2001, Raleigh has been the talk of baseball. Advertisement That's sure to continue tonight when the fifth-year pro competes in his first MLB Home Run Derby in Atlanta on Monday night. As millions of new fans get to watch Raleigh swing for the fences, the slugger's creative nickname will likely make an even bigger impression. 'Big Dumper is a great hook. We talk about hooks, like a great pop song has a great hook. It's really memorable and catchy and kind of infectious,' Mottram said. 'We think about sports in the same way. … And Big Dumper as a nickname is just manna from heaven.' Breaking T has capitalized on that hook in a huge way, with more than 20 Big Dumper products available on its website. There are dozens of Dumper shirt designs, along with coffee mugs and even onesies for babies and toddlers. Advertisement 'There are so many creative things you can do with Big Dumper — whether that's depicting him with an abnormally large dumper or a big dump truck.' As the Mariners pushed a 'get out the vote' campaign to get Raleigh to the All-Star Game, Breaking T designed a shirt inspired by the famous 'I (heart) New York' design, substituting a Georgia peach for the heart to convey the 'I love Cal' message. The product was a hit with Mariners players, who wore the shirts during pregame workouts. Then there's the shirt inspired by the opening bars to Seattle rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot's hit 'Baby Got Back,' depicting Raleigh squatting in his catcher's position with the words 'Oh my god, look at that …' Advertisement The shirt is definitely cheeky, but Breaking T gets approval on all designs from the MLB Players Association, and Raleigh has been onboard with the campaign. 'I don't think we've gone too far,' Mottram said. 'It seems to be all taken in the spirit which we're putting out there.' At Simply Seattle stores in the Pacific Northwest, they've been capturing the spirit of Raleigh's nickname since the beginning. At Simply's three retail locations and on its website, Big Dumper merchandise has taken top billing this summer. The store has worked with Raleigh since his early days in the bigs and caught a wave when an image of Mariners star Julio Rodriguez wearing a Big Dumper dump truck shirt was featured on MLB's official Twitter account. Advertisement Owner Jamie Munson said Simply Seattle's philosophy is to created product 'by fans for fans,' and his staff of Mariners faithful has been cranking out new products with every Big Dumper blast. Simply Seattle's sales got a boost when teammate Julio Rodriguez wore the dump-truck shirt. (Credit: Simply Seattle) The store has developed a tight relationship with Raleigh that led to the catcher making an appearance at a new store opening shortly before Opening Day in late March. When Raleigh signed a $105 million contract extension through 2030 on the morning of the scheduled appearance, Munson was elated by the fortuitous timing. And then he got a little worried. 'He just signed $100 million contract. He doesn't need to come to this appearance with us,' Munson said. 'But he is just such a good dude that he was like, 'Nope I'll be there.' Advertisement 'And so he ended up showing a couple hours later, and it was electric' Fans lined up around the corner to take photos with Raleigh, and all the news outlets in Seattle covered the event, which turned into a 'de facto' signing press conference for Raleigh to bask in the moment with Mariners fans. The meet-and-greet was free for fans — which is a bit stunning when you consider what Raleigh could command today as one of the leading contenders for the AL MVP award. 'Cal is such a good dude that I don't know that things would change that much,' Munson said. 'Sure, it might cost a little bit more. … But I don't think these things he's doing with local businesses (are) really as much about the money as it is just wanting to show his love for Seattle.' Advertisement Both Breaking T and Simply Seattle would love nothing more than for Raleigh to make a serious run at Bonds' single-season homer record of 73. And if Raleigh wins the Derby Monday night, they'll have products available Tuesday. Raleigh tops all MLB players in merch sales at Breaking T through the first half, edging out No. 2 Bobby Witt Jr. and Shohei Ohtani at No. 3. 'Our business is very aligned with the trends,' Mottram said. 'So, our top sellers are not always Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr. or Aaron Judge. It has not always been the big top jersey sellers. 'Ours are much more in line with what's trending and what's the most relevant with fans. This year, there's nobody better at that than Cal Raleigh.'
