Former Celebrity Big Brother contestant JoJo Siwa has openly discussed her sexuality in light of her relationship with Chris Hughes. She has acknowledged the backlash their romance has faced, emphasizing the negativity within the community. JoJo, aged 22, initially came out as pansexual during her teenage years, later identifying as a lesbian before embracing the term queer. She is now involved with Chris, aged 32, whom she met during their time on Big Brother in April.
Addressing the criticism she has endured, JoJo highlighted on a recent radio show that being in a heterosexual relationship does not define her sexual orientation. She emphasized that her past experiences with women and non-binary individuals are still valid despite her current relationship with a man.
Reflecting on her love for Chris, JoJo expressed that she has never felt a love like theirs before, describing it as the best thing that has happened to her. In a podcast episode, she discussed the challenges of navigating her identity within the LGBTQIA+ community and the importance of embracing love in all its forms.
When asked to define herself, JoJo emphasized her happiness and identified as queer, appreciating the flexibility and inclusivity of the term. She stressed that labels are no longer a focus for her, expressing a sense of liberation from societal expectations.
JoJo’s openness about her journey and current relationship serves as a positive example within the queer community, emphasizing that love transcends labels and societal norms.
