JoJo Siwa Denies She & Chris Hughes Are in a “Lavender Relationship”

“I had no clue what it meant before,” she explained. “I Googled it and I was like, ‘Oh, grow up!'”

In fact, JoJo pointed out that she’s been very open about her sexuality, publicly identifying herself as queer.

“I hate that people think that love is controllable,” JoJo said on Hot Goss. “Prior to Chris, I was never interested in men—still not interested in men as a whole. I’m interested in a man—singular, not plural.”

One of the reasons why the “Karma” artist and Chris get along so well is because she considers herself to be “one of the bros,” with their romance built on the foundation of friendship first.

“I’ve had dudes as my friends my whole life,” JoJo explained. “I bond better. I don’t want to get my nails done and talk iced coffee orders with girls. I don’t carry a purse, I carry a backpack. I don’t wear women’s pants, I wear men’s pants.”

She added of her first encounter with Chris, “I’ll be very honest, I saw him and I was like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to be best friends.'”

And as the couple hit their first anniversary, JoJo believes she’s found a “forever partner” in her boyfriend.

“Chris is such a wonderful partner,” she raved. “We have the utmost trust for each other. We have the utmost respect for each other.”

But JoJo is also celebrating the 10th anniversary of her iconic single “Boomerang,” releasing a special five-track EP on May 29 in honor of the song. For a closer look at JoJo through the years, read on…
