Since participating in the latest season of Celebrity Big Brother UK, JoJo has garnered a lot of attention for her experience in the house. She dealt with inappropriate and offensive comments from Mickey Rourke, like when he said he wanted to "tie her up" to "make her straight." His actions towards JoJo and other castmates eventually got him kicked off the show.

The former Dance Moms star also caught the attention of viewers when she formed a close friendship with former Love Island star, Chris Hughes. Viewers speculated the two were getting extremely close after an intimate scene showed Chris caressing JoJo's back, and soon relationship rumors began to spark, despite JoJo openly being in a relationship with someone else.

In a very vulnerable and brave moment on the show, JoJo admitted that she was questioning her sexuality, revealing that staying in the Big Brother house made her realize she is "not a lesbian."

Speculation surrounding her relationship with Chris escalated when JoJo's ex, Kath Ebbs, revealed that JoJo broke up with them at the CBB UK wrap party. In late April, Kath took to social media to vent their sadness and frustration about the breakup.

"I flew across the world to support and be there and hold that person in whatever they would be experiencing, leaving such a wild experience, and instead, I was dumped at the afterparty, with Chris [Hughes] in the next room,” Kath said.

“I was told that there are confused feelings there…and that she had realized in the house that I wasn't the person that [she] wanted to spend the foreseeable future with, which has honestly been so shocking, that I feel kind of subhuman right now. I feel incredibly humiliated, and I feel a bit embarrassed."
But after JoJo confirmed the split herself, with Chris by her side, fans didn't know what to believe. Well, we might finally have the answer. On Wednesday, JoJo shared a string of photos and videos from her weeklong birthday celebration. The reality star and artist turned 22 on May 19.

And to kick off the carousel, JoJo started with a photo of her resting her head on Chris's shoulder as he gazed down at her. Chris makes several appearances throughout her post.
"This year's birthday week was more magical than anything," she wrote on Instagram. "Full of surprises, family time, performing, chilling, laughing, loving, smiling, and good meaningful cries."
