JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes Tease Future Engagement as They Get Ready to Spend First Christmas Together
In the world of celebrity romance, few pairings have captured the internet’s curiosity quite like JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes. What began as an "unlikely" friendship on the set of Celebrity Big Brother U.K. in early 2025 has blossomed into a full-blown trans-Atlantic love story. Now, as the couple prepares to celebrate their first Christmas together, they are already looking far beyond the mistletoe toward a permanent future.
In a candid and playful joint interview this week, the 22-year-old "Karma" singer and the 32-year-old Love Island alum officially addressed the swirling engagement rumors, revealing that while wedding bells are definitely in the distance, they might not ring as soon as fans expect.
A Tale of Two Christmases: From L.A. to the Cotswolds
This holiday season is a major milestone for the couple as they navigate their first "split" Christmas across two continents.
Leg One (Los Angeles): The pair kicked off the festivities in California, spending a week with JoJo’s family. Known for her over-the-top holiday spirit, JoJo reportedly went all out for Chris’s 33rd birthday on December 22nd, gifting him 33 separate presents—one for every year of his life.
Leg Two (The Cotswolds): For Christmas Day, the duo is jetting off to the English countryside. This marks JoJo’s first Christmas away from her family, as she joins Chris at his family home in the Cotswolds. Chris noted that his mother is "absolutely delighted" to host the pop star, having spent weeks relentlessly asking for updates on JoJo's holiday plans.
The Engagement Talk: "Don't Expect a Christmas Cliché"
With the couple clearly "head over heels," many fans speculated that Chris might pop the question on Christmas morning. However, Chris was quick to shut down the idea of a predictable holiday proposal.
“You always get people who get engaged on Christmas morning. You see it on Instagram every year. I like the idea of it not being at a time where it could be expected,” Hughes explained.
For Chris, the magic of a proposal lies in the element of surprise. While he confirmed that he sees JoJo as the "love of his life" and his "future wife," he wants the moment to be uniquely theirs, rather than a "cliché" social media trend.
JoJo’s Seven-Year Deadline
Never one to shy away from taking charge, JoJo had her own thoughts on the timeline. During the interview, she playfully suggested that she could be the one to buy the ring and get down on one knee.
While Chris admitted the idea of being proposed to would make him "really uncomfortable," JoJo laid down a firm ultimatum with her signature humor:
The Wait: JoJo stated she is willing to wait for Chris to ask—but only for so long.
The Deadline: She has given him a seven-year limit.
The Date: To be exact, JoJo told Chris, “Just so you know, on May 27, 2032, I will be down on one knee. I will not wait one extra day.”
The date—May 27th—appears to be a significant anniversary for the couple, as they recently revealed they secretly began dating in May 2025, a month before they publicly confirmed their status in June.
Why the "Unlikely" Couple Works
When JoJo and Chris first sparked rumors in the spring of 2025, critics were skeptical. Between the 10-year age gap and JoJo’s previous public identity as a lesbian, many labeled the relationship a "publicity stunt." However, the couple has spent the last eight months proving the doubters wrong.
Soulmate Connection: Both have described their bond as "serendipity," evolving from a deep platonic friendship on Celebrity Big Brother into a romantic partnership built on "quiet comfort."
Family Values: Both stars are notoriously close to their parents. JoJo has already referred to Chris's parents as her "future in-laws" during her recent U.K. concert tour, while Chris has worked hard to "sweeten up" JoJo’s mother, Jessalynn Siwa.
Future Planning: Beyond engagement talk, insiders suggest the pair are already discussing baby plans, with rumors circulating that they hope to start a family as early as late 2026.

Final Thoughts: A New Era for JoJo
For JoJo Siwa, 2025 has been a year of radical transformation. From her "rebrand" into a darker, more mature pop aesthetic to her stable and joyful relationship with Chris, she seems more grounded than ever. While there might not be a diamond ring under the tree in the Cotswolds this year, the message from the couple is clear: they are in this for the long haul.
As JoJo prepares to face the 2032 deadline, fans will be watching closely to see if Chris beats her to the punch.
