JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes Spark Drama Over British Snack Debate

Max Sterling, 6/28/2025In a deliciously meta twist, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have taken their reality TV romance into the trenches of Britain's great Jaffa Cake debate. Nothing says "love in 2023" quite like an American child star-turned-queer icon joining forces with her British beau to tackle snack taxonomy.

The couple (yeah, that's still throwing people for a loop) showed up at BST Hyde Park wearing matching statement tees that screamed their position on this very British controversy. Hughes went straight for the jugular with "Cake? Behave it's a Biscuit" plastered across his chest. Not to be outdone, Siwa brought her trademark sparkle to the table with a rhinestone-covered declaration: "I Don't Really Care Bout' What They Say Jaffa Cakes Are Biscuits."

Hold up — let's rewind a bit.

This whole snack-based spectacle is just the latest chapter in what's turning out to be one of entertainment's more fascinating relationships. Since their paths crossed on Celebrity Big Brother back in April, these two have been turning heads faster than a TikTok trend. The 10-year age gap? The internet's got opinions. Siwa's previous public identity as a lesbian? Social media's been having a field day.

But here's the thing — amid all the chatter, dance guru Abby Lee Miller (who's known Siwa since she was just a competitive kid with big dreams) recently caught up with the pair in Orlando. Her take? "She's living her best life," Miller observed, noting that authentic spark between them that can't be faked for cameras.

Speaking of authenticity, Siwa's been remarkably candid about her journey. "When I came out at 17, I said: 'I'm pansexual, because I don't care [about gender],'" she shared with YOU magazine. Then came a pause, a reflection: "But then I kind of boxed myself in and I said: 'I'm a lesbian.' And I think I did that because of pressure."

Their romance has been a whirlwind tour — from Mexican beaches to quaint Cotswolds villages, and now, somewhat inexplicably, to the frontlines of British snack warfare. It's the kind of plot twist that would've seemed absurd in a pitch meeting, yet somehow feels perfectly at home in our increasingly genre-blending world.

The parental seal of approval? Rock solid. Miller spilled that tea: "Her mom Jessalynn and her dad Tom love that she brought a guy home." Meanwhile, Siwa's been dropping those three little words that make tabloid editors weak at the knees — "head over heels."

As for that Jaffa Cake debate? Well, McVitie's has been watching British families duke this out since 1927. The fact that it's now roped in an American dance sensation and a British reality star feels like peak 2023 — a year when cultural boundaries seem about as solid as a chocolate orange filling.

Siwa recently mused about "stepping into something new... and a little scary" on her socials, talking about emerging from her "sparkly little bubble." There's something rather poetic about marking that evolution by diving headfirst into one of Britain's most cherished food fights. Sometimes growth means not just falling in love, but also taking sides in battles you never knew existed — even if they involve chocolate-covered snacks of debatable classification.

British snack politics just got a dash of Hollywood sparkle, and honestly, who saw that coming? In what might be 2023's most delightfully bizarre cultural crossover, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have stepped right into the middle of Britain's great Jaffa Cake debate — you know, that endless argument about whether these chocolate-orange treats are actually cakes or biscuits.The couple (yeah, that's still throwing people for a loop) showed up at BST Hyde Park wearing matching statement tees that screamed their position on this very British controversy.
