JoJo Siwa has revealed a remarkable coincidence in her relationship with Chris Hughes, leading to a deeper understanding of their shared future. While attending the 12th Annual Industry Dance Awards in Los Angeles, Siwa exclusively told PEOPLE that both she and Hughes had independently selected the same design for a future engagement ring.
The couple first crossed paths during their stint on the reality show “Celebrity Big Brother UK” in April 2025. Since then, their relationship has blossomed, evolving from a close friendship into a romantic partnership confirmed in June of the same year. As they have navigated their relationship, marriage and family have emerged as important topics for discussion.
Siwa, who is 23, expressed her thoughts on the engagement ring during her conversation at the dance awards, which is hosted by Dancers Against Cancer, an organisation dedicated to supporting those in the dance community affected by cancer. She recounted a conversation she had with Hughes regarding her ideal ring, stating, “I told my mum, I said, ‘Whenever he asks you, [tell him] I want him to design it completely.’” This request emphasises Siwa’s desire for a ring that reflects Hughes’ personal touch.
In a moment of light-heartedness, the couple found themselves discussing what they envisioned as the perfect engagement ring. Siwa explained how they decided to reveal their choices simultaneously. “One, two, three. And we flipped it. And we were holding the same photo from Google,” she recalled, describing the ring’s blue emerald shape. Siwa noted that the chances of such a coincidence were very slim but found it an encouraging sign for their relationship.
Reflecting on their relationship, Siwa shared that their bond has been thriving. She stated, “It’s been lovely,” noting that they are approaching what she called their “year-and-a-half anniversary,” which took her by surprise. While it feels fresh, she mused on the passage of time by acknowledging it feels as though they have known each other for much longer.
The romance between Siwa and Hughes has continued to flourish since they first met on the reality show. They have openly expressed their affection for one another, discussing their dreams of marriage and future children. Hughes has previously referred to Siwa as the “love of my life,” which reflects the depth of their connection. His heartfelt remarks about their relationship highlight how they enjoy each other’s company in both significant and mundane ways.
In a candid exchange with media earlier in their relationship, Hughes described the importance of their discussions surrounding marriage and family. “We genuinely speak to each other about this,” he shared. His words underscore the strength of their commitment to one another, illustrating how their love story has progressed since their initial meeting.
Moreover, Siwa revealed that dating Hughes has positively influenced her perspective on the future. During an appearance on the podcast “Reign with Josh Smith,” she conveyed her newfound optimism, saying, “I’m happy. I’ve never wanted the future so bad.” Her sentiment reflects the growth she has experienced in her relationship, expressing a desire for it to flourish further.
The couple’s journey has also inspired Siwa’s music. In March 2026, she mentioned to PEOPLE that her single “Serendipity” drew inspiration from her relationship with Hughes. She described the song as capturing the essence of their unexpected connection and the belief that love will find its way when the timing is right.
With their shared visions for the future, Siwa and Hughes demonstrate a commitment to building a life together, making them one of the more endearing couples in the public eye. As they navigate their journey, fans are left intrigued by what the future holds for the pair, particularly regarding their potential engagement and commitment to one another.
