JoJo Siwa, the vibrant star known for her appearances on *Dance Moms* and her successful YouTube career, recently opened up about her personal relationships during an exclusive interview at The Snappys, Snapchat’s prestigious creator awards event held in Santa Monica, California. The 22-year-old spoke candidly about how returning to the sport of golf has not only provided her with a new hobby but has also significantly strengthened her relationship with her father, Tom Siwa.


In her conversation, JoJo expressed a deep appreciation for the bond she shares with her parents. Contrary to common assumptions that child stars may drift apart from their families as they grow older, JoJo noted that her relationship with her parents has only become stronger. “It’s interesting. I feel like a lot of times, people expect child stars and their parents to kind of fall out over time, but my parents and I, we’ve only gotten closer,” she stated, highlighting the value of family support in her life.
JoJo revealed that her recent foray into golfing has been a delightful way to connect with her father. “I’ve found a lot of fun golfing with him and it’s been really special because, obviously, my mum and I are so close…she is my right-hand man throughout everything in my life,” she said, explaining that having this new shared activity has enriched her relationship with Tom.
Her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, remains a vital figure in JoJo’s life, yet the star relishes the unique quality time spent with her dad on the golf course. This shift highlights JoJo’s commitment to nurturing both parental relationships, acknowledging the different roles her parents occupy in her life.
Shifting focus, JoJo also shared insights into her romantic life, particularly her relationship with boyfriend Chris Hughes. The couple has been together for nearly a year, and JoJo described this past year as “the best year ever.” She expressed a sense of joy and optimism about their future together, saying, “It’s only gonna get better from here. It’s only gonna go up from here.”
As the anniversary of their relationship approaches, JoJo mentioned that while they have not made specific plans, she hopes they will celebrate their milestone together. The couple initially met while filming *Celebrity Big Brother U.K.*, where their connection blossomed amidst the chaos of reality television.
JoJo elaborated on the dynamics of their relationship, acknowledging that like any couple, they face challenges. “He’s my person. And everything in life, you’ll always find the good and the bright side when it’s your person,” she explained. Remarking on the nature of relationships, she emphasised that there is no foolproof method to ensure a successful partnership. “There’s no right way to inspire anyone to make a relationship work at all. It just, it works when it works,” she noted, indicating a level of maturity in her understanding of love.
When quizzed about her older brother’s recent wedding and whether it sparked any desire for her to rush toward marriage, JoJo maintained a measured perspective. “I mean, obviously our relationship’s very new. My brother’s been with his girlfriend – or wife now – for five years. So, you know, we’re creeping up on our one-year anniversary. So we’re getting there, but we got time,” she said with a laugh, showing that while she values commitment, she is not in a hurry to take that next step just yet.
Through her reflections, JoJo Siwa exemplifies a balanced approach to both family and romantic relationships, showcasing the importance of nurturing connections while allowing them to grow organically. The insights shared at The Snappys reveal not just the star’s spirited personality but also her evolving understanding of life’s many dimensions. As she continues to navigate her path in the public eye, JoJo remains committed to both her familial ties and her blossoming relationship, highlighting a sense of resilience and joy in her life.
