Chris Hughes declares girlfriend JoJo Siwa is the love of his life

Chris Hughes has described JoJo Siwa as the "love of (his) life".

The former Love Island contestant and Dance Moms star confirmed they were in a relationship last month after meeting on the British TV show Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year and Chris has described how the pair have a special connection together.

The 32-year-old star told E! News: "She's literally the love of my life, but she's also my best friend. Like, we sit and do nothing together."

Chris 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.'"

Chris continued: "Yes, we've been to dinners with each other's families and each other's friends and stuff like that. But we've never, ever solely done something just on our own right."
