After a fateful meeting on ‘Celebrity Big Brother UK,’ the queer pop singer has confirmed her relationship with an older man of ‘Love Island’ fame.

If and when Siwa and Hughes define their relationship, fans will have a lot to say. As David Schmid, associate professor of English at the University at Buffalo, puts it, "the average person needs distraction and escape more than ever, and celebrities and their love lives will continue to fill this need."

JoJo Siwa confirmed her romance with Chris Hughes and opened up about her evolving queer identity in a new interview.
