JoJo Siwa's dancing through life with her brand new dude ... looking loved up with Chris Hughes while reuniting at the airport!
The former "Dance Moms" star landed in old London Town at Heathrow Airport Sunday ... and, she jumped into the arms of her former footballer "friend."
Check out these pics ... Hughes has his arms wrapped around Siwa's chest and neck in one snap, grabs her by the cheeks in another -- and, they even dip behind a bouquet of flowers at one point. Kinda looks like they're locking lips, or at least very close to it.
"Big Brother" star Memphis Garrett has been arrested for allegedly owing the state of Florida a whole lotta money -- over $50,000 in taxes collected from his businesses.
The Broward Sheriff's Office confirmed to TMZ he was arrested Thursday on a warrant issued by the Department of Revenue ... and we can confirm he's still locked up -- 'cause his $15,000 bond remains unsatisfied.
According to official documents obtained by TMZ ... Memphis -- real name Robert Garrett -- is charged with a second-degree felony for theft of state funds.
JoJo Siwa’s "Celebrity Big Brother" stint came with its fair share of controversy -- courtesy of some offensive remarks from Mickey Rourke -- and she hasn't heard from him since the show wrapped.

JoJo Siwa's spilling more tea on her Kath Ebbs split ... and she’s finally addressing the topic on everyone's lips -- Chris Hughes, and whether he blew up the relationship.
The "Dance Moms" alum hit up "The Viall Files" podcast -- setting the record straight that Chris, who she met on "Celebrity Big Brother," had zero to do with the breakup. According to her, they just built a solid friendship and share a super special bond.
JoJo went on to explain that Chris -- a former "Love Island UK" heartthrob -- is the other half of a friendship unlike anything she’s ever had. But again -- he had nothing to do with her split from Kath, she insists!
JoJo Siwa’s ex, Kath Ebbs, says their breakup came as a total shock ... but JoJo’s claiming it was exactly what she needed to do after leaving "Celebrity Big Brother."
In a tearful interview on the UK’s "This Morning" talk show, JoJo shared that the time spent alone on 'CBB' gave her the space to reflect, and it made her realize there were things in her relationship -- and other areas of her life -- she should never have accepted in the first place.
JoJo gave more details to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard ... saying that even though 'CBB' was only 3 weeks long, it felt like 4 years. Naturally, she was ready to fix what needed repairing as soon as she left -- and it seems Kath ended up bearing the brunt of that.

Ebbs -- an Australian podcaster and DJ who used they/she pronouns -- dropped a video detailing all the drama Saturday ... saying that after watching what they thought was a totally fake reality show, they've now realized that JoJo wasn't just fronting for the camera.
Ebbs says they felt secure in their relationship with the former "Dance Moms" star when she went off to film 'CBB' ... but, now they say it seems clear the relationship wasn't as strong as they thought -- especially amid rumors she and her co-contestant Chris Hughes are more than friends.

In a series of social media posts Friday, Bella lays out her allegations against Mickey.
She says ... "This f***ing dude. GROSS. I had to work with this man in a scene where I'm on my knees with my hands zip tied around my back. He's supposed to take a metal grinder to my knee cap and instead he used it on my genitals thru my jeans. Hitting them over and over again."

The actor was pulled aside in the house to speak in the Diary Room on the U.K. version of the show ... with 'Big Brother' telling him the show found the language he used "unacceptable."
Earlier in the episode, Mickey asked Siwa -- who came out as gay in 2021 -- if she liked boys or girls. When JoJo said her partner was nonbinary, Mickey replied she wouldn't be gay anymore if he stays longer than four days ... basically claiming he could turn her straight.

Per the announcement, Chen first began feeling under the weather on Friday last week and decided to visit her good friend, who happens to be a doctor.
