JoJo Siwa has finally been reunited with Chris Hughes, after he jetted to Mexico ahead of her 22nd birthday.
The pair formed a close bond while in the Celebrity Big Brother house last month, with JoJo referring to the Love Island star, 32, as ‘her platonic soulmate.’
Fans of the pair had been waiting for the moment they would reunite, with JoJo announcing on Friday she would be returning to the UK for two shows in London on 26 and 27 May.
But in a surprise twist, Chris took to Snapchat in the early hours of Sunday morning to reveal he’d flown 12 hours to Mexico to see JoJo, where she was booked to perform at a festival, ahead of her birthday on Monday.
Chris shared a snap that showed him and JoJo cosied up to one another at their hotel in Mexico City, with the caption reading: ‘Finally reunited.’
The Love Island star had previously hinted he’d flown across the Atlantic to see his pal with a string of cryptic snaps, but finally confirmed their reunion as she took to the stage at Tec Emblema Festival.

Fans have been sent into a frenzy over JoJo and Chris’ connection as they are convinced they have a blossoming romance, after JoJo called time on her relationship with partner Kath Ebbs at the CBB wrap party last month.
The pair have kept tongues wagging since they got out of the house, and on Saturday, offered a new glimpse at their friendship in images shared on Snapchat.
In an image shared during a Q&A, Chris revealed that he and JoJo perfected the Dirty Dancing lift they’d practiced while in the CBB house.
Chris then went onto share a snap of himself and JoJo on FaceTime together, telling his followers they’ve ‘kept in touch.’
JoJo and Chris kept viewers guessing over their relationship despite them clarifying during a This Morning appearance that they were ‘just friends’.
Many were left unconvinced, especially after Chris dropped out of appearing in the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating.
JoJo’s latest appearance stoked the flames further when she failed to shut down a possibility of a romantic future when she appeared at Stanford Speakers Bureau for A Night with JoJo Siwa.
The Dance Moms star was asked how she sees the relationship progressing, to which she said: ‘I mean look, we have the absolute most fun together and he is an absolute gem that’s come into my life.
JoJo’s words were met with an abundance of ‘awws’ from the crowd and reacting to them, she said: ‘Don’t let him see this it will boost his ego!’
She continued: ‘Genuinely something I love about him so much is that he has zero ego, he’s a really incredible sweet man.
‘I told him this on the last night, maybe it wasn’t the last night but sometime. I said you’re a vital part of my life that I didn’t know was missing.’
‘But I’m happy that I don’t have to anymore. So yeah he is an awesome guy and I think he will be around for a very long time.’
As the crowd wolf whistled at her response, JoJo told them to grow up.
Confirming that Chris is going nowhere, she said: ‘He’s a keeper, we’ll keep him around, we’ll see.’
