JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are taking their romance public — and they looked absolutely smitten on their big night out!
The Dance Moms star, 22, and Love Island alum, 32, made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the 2025 Dancers Against Cancer Gala of the Stars held at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Tuesday, October 21.
The lovebirds, who met earlier this year on U.K. Celebrity Big Brother season 24, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they arrived at the event. They shared kisses, hugs, and plenty of laughter on the red carpet, clearly enjoying every moment together.
Siwa dazzled in a sleek black floor-length gown, while Hughes opted for a stylish brown polka dot shirt paired with crisp white trousers.
The event — organized by Dancers Against Cancer (DAC), a non-profit that provides financial support to dancers and their families affected by cancer — turned out to be extra special for Siwa.

In a heartwarming video shared on her Instagram, Hughes surprised Siwa with the news that she would be honored with the Humanitarian Award for her decade-long commitment to the charity.
“Wait, actually?” Siwa exclaimed in disbelief before wrapping her boyfriend in a big hug. Laughing, she added, “I know I shouldn’t be laughing right now, but you’re so cute.” Hughes smiled and told her, “You should be very proud.” He later presented her with the award during the ceremony.
The star-studded gala also drew major names in entertainment, including Janet Jackson, Allison Holker, and Dancing with the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who served as host for the evening.
Siwa and Hughes first bonded during their time together on Celebrity Big Brother in April. What began as a friendship soon blossomed into romance, and the couple confirmed they were officially dating in June.
Their appearance at the gala comes just weeks after another big relationship milestone — introducing their families to each other for the first time.
On October 9, Hughes shared an adorable post on Instagram showing their families together backstage at Siwa’s concert in Birmingham, England. “Our families finally met last night,” he wrote. “Dad wore a tie to the concert and mum was living 💫🥹🤍.”
He also posted a sweet photo of Siwa sitting on his lap and a video of himself dancing with his family as they watched her perform.
