Chris Hughes, the hunky UK Love Island alum, has set tongues wagging after he posted a now-deleted intimate bedroom photo with JoJo Siwa, sparking rumors of a romance. The 32-year-old reality star has been spotted getting close to 22-year-old JoJo while she's in the UK for her tour.

The pair has been seen enjoying dinners, bowling sessions, family time, and ensuring they get some private moments together. Chris and JoJo's growing closeness has fans on the edge of their seats as they speculate about the nature of their relationship.

Ever since his stint on the UK's Celebrity Big Brother, followers have been scouring for any hint that the two are more than just pals. It appears Chris and JoJo are reveling in the speculation, posting quite a few cozy bedroom snaps.

In the controversial post, Chris shared a selfie of himself planting a kiss on JoJo's forehead as they cuddled in bed. The Dance Moms celebrity was nestled against him, eyes shut, prompting Chris to caption the picture: "Sleeping beauty."

The image was quickly removed from Chris' profile, but not before eagle-eyed fans captured and circulated it, fueling the rumor mill even further, reports the Mirror.

Despite the frenzy, Chris and JoJo have remained mum on whether their relationship has escalated beyond friendship, having previously described themselves as platonic soulmates.

Yet, fans are certain the duo is hinting at a romantic connection, especially with JoJo expressing that she's "never felt so ­special and so loved".

Before JoJo Siwa returned to the UK, her beau, Chris, flew out to Mexico to show his support during her performance. He got to meet her mom and manager Jessalynn, and the couple was even spotted sharing a smooch in a pool.

The pair has been quite open with their affection, previously posting cozy bedroom snaps. Earlier in the week, Chris took to Snapchat to share that they were enjoying an episode of the UK show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? together.

Just hours before that post, Chris hinted at preparing a romantic dinner for JoJo. He later posted a picture showcasing their meals on a table adorned with roses and a candle, adding to the ambiance.

Over the weekend, JoJo made an appearance on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch, where she gushed about how seamlessly Chris has become part of her family. She shared: "She (Siwa's mother) does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him, and he and my dad are like best friends.

"Chris was actually telling me that yesterday they went to the spa together. They're literally best friends. Mum, she absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us because I've never seen my mum so happy."

She continued: "It feels like we're a family. It feels like he's been in my family for however many years. It feels like they just all get along as well as I do."

Discussing their long-distance relationship plans, JoJo mentioned: "I think there will definitely be a lot more time spent here, and I think from him as well, a lot more time spent over there, but we both have families, you know, on either end."
