Dance Moms

Before this lil' cutie with frosting on her face turned into a superstar, she was just playing in the Nebraska snow with her bro and dancing up a storm -- starting at 2 years old.

She's switched up her cool hairstyles over the years, but she's most notable for her hair bows. Her song "Boomerang" has over 1 billion views on YouTube. Because of her popularity, she scored her own cereal!

We're giving you the following clue last, because it oughta set you up for the slam dunk: She rose to stardom on "Dance Moms."

JoJo Siwa's garnered plenty of attention throughout her career -- and not all of it's been for her dancing skills!

The multi-talented performer's love life has played out in the public eye for several years, and she met her new man, Chris Hughes, in front of TV audiences ... it's funny how life works out sometimes!

We're going to look into the background of the dancer's boyfriend ... and check out how she ruffled more than a few feathers after they started dating.

Hughes was first introduced to the public after he appeared on the third series of "Love Island," and he ended up in third place alongside his then-partner, Olivia Attwood.

The two starred in a spinoff series, "Chris & Olivia: Crackin' On," although it only ran for a single season, and they ended up splitting in 2018.

Hughes has since embarked on a career as a television presenter, and he has hosted coverage of various horse racing events in his native UK.

And if it wasn't apparent already, he's pretty used to dating in the public eye ... as he was in a relationship with Little Mix member Jesy Nelson, although they split up in April 2020.

Hughes and Siwa met while appearing in the 24th season of "Celebrity Big Brother UK," and many viewers took notice of the pair's chemistry while they competed for the show's grand prize.

The professional dancer was in a relationship with Australian DJ Kath Ebbs while the show was being filmed, although her former partner claimed they were dumped by the singer at the season's afterparty.

Siwa later denied Hughes had been the reason behind her split from Ebbs on an episode of "The Viall Files," although he didn't exactly play it cool when he brought the dancer flowers after picking her up at Heathrow Airport in May 2025.

Any further speculation about the state of the pair's relationship was set aside the following month, when he shared a selfie showing him planting a kiss on her forehead as they relaxed in bed.

Hughes and Siwa have been very open about their relationship ever since then, as they've appeared in numerous photos on each other's Instagram accounts.

The dancer also slammed the door on any rumors regarding the veracity of her relationship with the television figure while speaking with The Guardian, and stated she and Hughes were "not platonic anymore" before describing herself as "head over heels" in love with him.

She then claimed her cheeks had "been in pain from smiling so much" about her new romance with Hughes.

Forget meeting the parents -- Jojo Siwa's BF Chris Hughes got a full-on interrogation from none other than Abby Lee Miller ... and let’s just say, it was total trial by fire.

Witnesses tell TMZ ... Jojo insisted Abby meet her new British BF and give her blessing. So, when the "Dance Moms" legend finally met him at an Orlando event last month, she wasted no time -- firing off questions left and right.

We’re told Abby threw him into the hot seat with questions like whether he owns his own tuxedo, can he carry luggage, and -- most important of all -- if he can keep up with JJ.

Abby Lee Miller's accusing a prominent Los Angeles-area hospital of malpractice ... claiming the doctors who performed surgery on her left a foreign object in her body.

The "Dance Moms" star is suing Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital and two doctors in relation to a 2020 surgery she got on her spine.

While the surgery appeared to have been successful, Abby says she began suffering from abdominal pain and discomfort ... distress she says she shared with multiple medical professionals, including the two doctors who performed her surgery.

JoJo Siwa’s not just soft-launching anymore -- she’s full-throttle flaunting her romance with Chris Hughes, declaring she's head over heels and rubbing her cheeks 'cause she’s smiling so hard.

The former "Dance Moms" star, who started a platonic connection on "Celebrity Big Brother UK," has now developed a beautiful connection -- and even her family's clocked how much happier she's been compared to recent years.

JoJo clapped back at rumors of a PR stunt to The Guardian, basically telling the haters they’ve clearly never been around her and Chris together. And while she’s not speaking for him, she says her happiness is so real, it’s radiating off her.

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.

Photogs caught up with the "Dance Moms" alum in NYC, where she joked that Mickey had probably forgotten who she is by now.

The actor agreed to leave 'CBB' over his inappropriate behavior and language on the show, including homophobic remarks directed at JoJo.

JoJo Siwa's trading in one letter of LGBTQ+ for another ... telling her "Celebrity Big Brother" housemates her time on the show has helped her realize she's not lesbian.

The influencer and dancer revealed the news on the UK show Tuesday night ... explaining to her housemate, Danny Beard, she thought she was a lesbian -- but has recently realized she's actually Queer.

Siwa then screamed out, "I’m switching letters! F--- the L, I’m going to the Q! That’s what I love about sexuality."

Abby Lee Miller's speaking out on Kelly Hyland’s cancer battle -- years after their wild "Dance Moms" fallout and legal chaos -- and she’s making it clear to us ... Kelly doesn’t need her support, 'cause she sure didn’t show up during her own cancer fight.

The dance instructor tells TMZ she can’t really relate to Kelly ringing the hospital bell after finishing her second round of treatment for breast cancer, which she was diagnosed with in 2023 -- telling us it's because she was literally on her deathbed while battling Burkitt lymphoma.

ICYMI, Abby underwent emergency spine surgery back in April '18 -- doctors discovered a mass compressing her spine, causing excruciating pain and paralysis.

Abby Lee Miller says she's doing her part for people affected by the Pacific Palisades wildfire ... she's giving them free use of her studio so they can keep practicing and pursuing their passion.

We caught up with the "Dance Moms" star in L.A. this week ... and, we asked her about her new push to help out the kids affected by the devastating fires in western Los Angeles last month.

ALM says she's letting all of the students from the Palisades Studio that burned down in the fire come use her L.A. studio, free of charge.

JoJo Siwa just sold her Tarzana mansion -- and she’s twirling away with a tidy profit!

The former "Dance Moms" star just scored $4.1 mil for her 6-bed, 7-bath mansion -- a little more than the $3.99M she listed it for right before Christmas.

No surprise this 6,462-square-foot pad got snatched up -- it’s packed with all the Cali-living essentials: a pool, spa, entertainment room, bar, and even a sports court.

JoJo Siwa is looking to unload her mansion ... because she just put it on the market.

Our real estate sources tell us the "Dance Moms" alum listed her Tarzana estate for $3,995,000.

The super modern home is 6,462 square feet with 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.

JoJo Siwa is no longer flying solo it seems ... because we filmed her picking up rumored new girlfriend Kath Ebbs from LAX Airport.

The "Dance Moms" alum rolled up in her Cybertruck to pick up Ebbs at the Tom Bradley International Terminal in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Check out photos and video, obtained by TMZ ... JoJo is all smiles as she greets Ebbs with a nice big hug before stepping back and staring into each other's eyes.

JoJo Siwa is ready to face the world again after a controversial fall ... stepping out in Los Angeles for the first time in over a month for a few caffeine-fueled errands.

Check it out ... the "Dance Moms" alum is back to business after upsetting some Beyoncé fans who thought she mocked the singer at the Industry Dance Awards in October. Seemingly shaking off the backlash, JoJo hits up a local coffee shop in L.A., where she gets a little work done on her computer -- even making time for a sweet selfie with a fan.

JoJo seems pretty energized to get back out in the public eye ... and the massive coffee in her hand may have something to do with the pep in her step.

Jojo Siwa's been pushing boundaries since her "Dance Moms" days ... but her latest photo shoot has sent shockwaves across the internet.

The singer's rocking a custom rhinestone corset complete with built-in abs and nipples for Ladygunn mag -- and, yep, a matching blinged-out bulge. If you did a double-take, you're not alone!

Jojo had a few other less tame shots, but that dazzling bulge pic is definitely the most risqué -- and by the looks of it, definitely her favorite 'cause she's clearly feeling herself in it.

"Dance Moms" star Christi Lukasiak is facing a DUI charge after a violent car crash ... TMZ has learned.

We obtained the police report -- the reality star was busted in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania after cops say she crashed her vehicle into a tree. The wreck, which happened on June 27, left a telephone pole hanging over Christi's car.

Cops say she exhibited all the classic DUI signs ... bloodshot and glassy eyes, slurred speech and the officer on the scene reported the smell of alcohol on Christi's breath.
