Chris Hughes Reveals JoJo Siwa Nicknamed His Testicles ‘Jimmy and Timmy’

JoJo Siwa loves every part of Chris Hughes — especially his testicles.

Hughes, 32, opened up about their relationship, including the moniker his girlfriend, 22, adopted for his private parts, in a recent interview with E! News published on Monday, July 21.

“She calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy. So she must like Jimmy and Timmy,” said Hughes with a laugh, joking that Siwa loves “the rhyming lingo.”

As fans recall, Siwa and Hughes met while appearing on season 24 of Celebrity Big Brother UK.

After leaving the show, both Siwa and Hughes maintained they were just friends and each posted several photos together on social media. By June 2025, however, Siwa confirmed they were dating.

Hughes told E! News that he never expected to find love on the show.

“I know I said it on my intro video, and it was all complete tongue-in-cheek. ‘Oh, maybe I’ll meet the love of my life, right?’ It was completely and utterly tongue and cheek,” he said.

“It was me just being me and being chirpy and having a bit of fun. But even when I was on the show, she was my friend,” continued Hughes. “We had such an amazing friendship and we were so close and it was such a unique special bond and one which I will forever be grateful for.”

The reality star said of Siwa, “She’s literally like the love of my life, but she’s also my best friend.”

Regarding how the two make a long-distance relationship work, Hughes said he believes “when things are meant to happen, I think everything becomes effortless,” noting that he and Siwa have not spent more than two weeks apart.

In an interview with Billboard last month, Siwa addressed her sexuality after previously coming out in 2021.
