The former Dance Moms star, 22, and ex-Love Islander, 32, had been staying at an adults-only hotel in Mexico after Chris made the 12-hour flight from the UK to support JoJo at a performance in Mexico City.

The pair have been making headlines in recent weeks after appearing on Celebrity Big Brother together in the UK.

There, they struck up a close friendship, even snuggling up together in bed in the evenings.

Their growing closeness and touchy-feely interactions had raised eyebrows as JoJo was in a relationship with Kath Ebbs, 28, at the time.

After the show ended, Kath took to social media to share an emotional video claiming JoJo had ended their relationship at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party.


The Australian actor, writer, and presenter said it came as a "complete shock", telling their followers: "I don’t even know where to begin. I’m filming this in a complete state of shock, which I know is probably distressing and giving, ‘Go have a sleep.'

"But I feel so numbed out right now and so disorientated that I feel like the only thing I have to do to place this situation is to finally address it after two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person that it involved,” they added.

Kath accused her ex-partner of "love bombing," explaining: “Being told I’m the love of someone’s life, being asked to marry them before this social experiment. Being adored throughout behind closed doors."

"Being hurt by what I saw, but wanting to work through it and have a conversation and get clarity. To be met with, yeah, being further humiliated in a weird way. That’s more of a feeling, I don’t know if it’s fact," they said.

Kath added that they'd flown to the UK "to show up for my partner, and support them in their experience and later on address my feelings of hurt, and work through them".

"Like all relationships do. But before I could even get back to the hotel, I… It’s actually crazy… I went to the afterparty with my now ex, and was dumped in the party," they revealed.

Kath said JoJo told them “there were confused feelings there and they had realized in the house I wasn’t the person they wanted to spend the foreseeable with.”

JoJo and Chris have been sharing a number of photos and videos of one another on social media, but have yet to confirm the nature of their relationship.

Photos of them kissing while in a pool together have been shared by The Sun, with an onlooker telling the outlet: "JoJo and Chris looked very loved-up and as they snogged in full view of other holidaymakers.

"They spent their time at the hotel holding hands and looked like a giddy couple in the early throes of love. It was nice to see.

"They were very hands on, not entirely different to how they were on TV just a bit more intimate.

“JoJo seemed totally relaxed, really in love and not in any way the JoJo we see when she’s on stage. They’re just totally comfortable around each other."

The dancer had been in Mexico to perform a show, where she even changed the lyrics of a performance of 'Bette Davis Eyes' to be "Chris Hughes' eyes".
