JoJo Siwa Nicknamed Boyfriend Chris Hughes' Private Parts: ‘She Must Love the Rhyming Lingo'
Chris Hughes has revealed that his girlfriend, JoJo Siwa, gave his genitals pet names. In an interview with E! published on Monday, July 21, the Love Island alum, 32, shared that the former Dance Moms star, 22, 'calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy.' 'She must love the rhyming lingo within her life,' he laughed, referring to how the 'Karma' singer previously shared that she wanted to have triplets and name them Freddy, Eddy, and Teddy. 'I don't know about those names,' Hughes admitted. 'I have names that I like. I'm still kind of undecided on them.' However, Siwa told Capital Buzz in June that she no longer wants to call her future children Freddy, Eddy, and Teddy. 'Absolutely not. I was a bad girl, did some bad things, and that was naming children,' Siwa joked. 'Got a new name for children. And I think it's Silver. Silver Siwa.' Hughes did not mention his thoughts on the name Silver in his interview with E!, but made it clear the pair would get on the same page when they need to. 'We'll work it out for sure,' he told the outlet. 'It might end up being something we have to pick names out of a hat for.' The reality stars met while filming Celebrity Big Brother UK in April and quickly formed a strong bond. At the time of filming, Siwa was dating Kath Ebbs. Siwa — who came out as queer while on the show — and Ebbs, 27, called it quits at the show's wrap party. In June, Siwa confirmed that she and Hughes were in a relationship, telling The Guardian, 'It's not platonic anymore, 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.' Hughes told E! that the pair developed a strong friendship before their relationship progressed romantically. 'But even when I was on the show, she was my friend,' he explained. 'We had such an amazing friendship, and we were so close, and it was such a unique, special bond and one which I will forever be grateful for.' 'She's literally like the love of my life, but she's also my best friend,' the English television personality added. 'We sit and do nothing together.' As for how the couple manages doing a long distance romance, Hughes told the outlet, 'it just works.' 'I think when things are meant to happen, I think everything becomes effortless,' he shared. 'I don't think we've spent more than two weeks apart since we came out the Big Brother house.' Hughes also explained that the pair is living in the present when it comes to their relationship. 'We haven't even had those conversations about what do we do going forward, because the life that we're living right now, there's so much peace,' he added. Solve the daily Crossword

Kylie Kelce Reveals the Common Pet Name She Refuses to Be Called: 'Makes Me Itch'
NEED TO KNOW On a new episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie, Kylie Kelce expressed a particular dislike for one very common nickname The mom of four said she didn't grow up hearing the nickname said at home, because her parents preferred to call each other by an animal-inspired name Kylie continued to discussed how she and husband Jason Kelce have heard their daughters pick up on their fond names for each otherThey might be called pet names, but Kylie Kelce doesn't want to be affectionately called a moniker that's most closely associated with a famous pig. As always, the mom of four kept it real on the most recent episode of her hit podcast, Not Gonna Lie, and shared some of her strongest opinions on nicknames. Kylie set the record straight and said, "The idea of me saying 'Babe' or being called 'Babe' makes me itch." With a nod to the 1995 barnyard comedy Babe, she added, "I'm not a talking pig." She continued to note that she didn't grow up hearing that specific nickname either, but her parents did pull inspiration from the animal kingdom and called each other "Birdy." The podcast host addressed the fact that kids sometime pick up their parents' pet names for each other, and her four little ones — daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 3 months — are no exception. In mimicking Kylie, however, the girls tend to just use a more straightforward "Dad" replacement for their father, retired NFL star Jason Kelce. "They will occasionally call Jason 'Jason' or 'Jay,'" she explained during the Thursday, July 17 episode. "Ellie has also called Jason 'big guy' ... I want to be abundantly clear: That is not something I call my husband, but she, I believe, heard it on Bluey."

Beyond fond monikers, Kylie says she's seen her daughters pick up her compliments toward Jason, as well. "Our girls will tell Jason all the time, 'Oh, you look so handsome.' And I'm like, 'I'm glad I say that enough in front of you that it's coming out like that,' " she shared. She addressed parenthood again a few minutes later in the episode, when she dismissed the concept of a "bounce back" phrase after pregnancy as "f----- up." 'Here's the problem: Every single person I've seen grow a human being and pop them out have rebounded in their own time," she stated, clarifying that she doesn't want to hear people making such remarks about her, no matter their intentions. is now available in the Apple App Store!

Because, yes, I'm very tired,' Kylie said. She concluded, 'My point is that we don't need to comment on the fact that a woman is postpartum and how she is doing with her postpartum journey physically.' Read the original article on People

Revealed: The 3 nicknames that mean your relationship is doomed to fail - so, are YOU guilty of using them?
Whether its 'snookums', 'cutie patootie' or 'babycakes', many couples have pet names they call each other behind closed doors. But three nicknames could mean your relationship is doomed to fail, an expert has warned. While some monikers convey warmth, reassurance and affection, others can act as 'emotional wallpaper'. Dr Mark Travers, an American psychologist with degrees from Cornell University and the University of Colorado Boulder, has revealed the names that should be ringing alarm bells. BABY/BABE 'Being called "baby" or "babe" early on in a relationship can feel comforting, but that sense of warmth can be misleading,' he wrote on Psychology Today. He warned pet names like this can simulate intimacy before it's truly earned. 'Affectionate language triggers oxytocin, the brain's bonding hormone, which makes us feel emotionally close even in the absence of trust or consistency. You may start to feel attached to someone who's never actually shown you their emotional world,' he said. SWEETHEART The nickname 'sweetheart' could also be used as a way to dismiss your worries rather than dealing with them, he explained. 'Instead of engaging with your concerns, a partner might respond with: "You overthink everything, sweetheart. Don't worry that pretty head of yours,"' he said. 'These responses may sound affectionate, but they can make you feel like you're overreacting for even bringing something up. 'Essentially, they minimize your emotions and shift the focus away from the issue at hand.' This is a form of 'emotional infantilisation', he added – treating you as if you're too irrational or too fragile to be taken seriously. Previous studies have found that this kind of infantilisation – especially in conjunction with affectionate language – was the strongest predictor of negative mental health outcomes. He suggested asking yourself if nicknames show up most when you express discomfort or your needs – or if affection is being used to avoid real emotional work. ANGEL Pet names can sometimes be used to deflect the real issue rather than resolve it, Dr Travers said. 'After a conflict, instead of addressing the issue, there might be a flood of endearments,' he said. For example, 'Angel, don't be mad'. 'These words may sound sweet, but they often act as emotional distractions, soothing the partner's discomfort rather than engaging with real underlying problems,' he explained. 'This is also called emotional appeasement—using affection to avoid emotional responsibility.' He warned that while pet names may provide temporary emotional relief, they can 'sidestep the deeper work required to build genuine intimacy'. However, he added: 'Not all pet names are manipulative. 'In fact, in emotionally healthy relationships, they often reflect genuine affection and tenderness and can even help de-escalate tension. 'The key difference lies in intention and timing.' WHEN YOU SHOULD BREAK UP WITH YOUR PARTNER Kale Monk, assistant professor of human development and family science at University of Missouri says on-off relationships are associated with higher rates of abuse, poorer communication and lower levels of commitment. People in these kinds of relationships should make informed decisions about either staying together once and for all or terminating their relationship. Here are his top five tips to work out whether it's the right time to end your relationship – 1. When considering rekindling a relationship that ended or avoiding future breakups, partners should think about the reasons they broke up to determine if there are consistent or persistent issues impacting the relationship. 2. Having explicit conversations about issues that have led to break ups can be helpful, especially if the issues will likely reoccur. If there was ever violence in the relationship, however, or if having a conversation about relationship issues can lead to safety concerns, consider seeking support-services when it is safe to do so. 3. Similar to thinking about the reasons the relationship ended, spend time thinking about the reasons why reconciliation might be an option. Is the reason rooted in commitment and positive feelings, or more about obligations and convenience? The latter reasons are more likely to lead down a path of continual distress. 4. Remember that it is okay to end a toxic relationship. For example, if your relationship is beyond repair, do not feel guilty leaving for your mental or physical well-being. 5. Couples therapy or relationship counselling is not just for partners on the brink of divorce. Even happy dating and married couples can benefit from 'relationship check-ups' in order to strengthen the connection between partners and have additional support in approaching relationship transitions.
