Miley Cyrus makes closet joke on JoJo Siwa amid her new relationship with Chris Hughes

Singer and actor Miley Cyrus made a joke about bringing JoJo Siwa “back out” of the closet after the latter announced a new unexpected relationship with Chris Hughes. Siwa’s relationship with Hughes has grabbed headlines in the last few months as she continues to stay in the UK with her new lover.

Cyrus, in a video message filmed inside the closet during Pride Month celebration, said that she has not been here since sixth grade. “Oh, my God, I haven’t been in here since sixth grade,” she said.

In the video message which is doing the rounds on social media, the Hannah Montana actor said, “Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you. It shouldn’t be a month — it should be a year, it should be infinite”.




Cyrus concluded her message by referencing Siwa, 22. “I’m going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out,” she said.

Chris Hughes-Jojo Siwa relationship

Siwa recently announced her relationship with Hughes, 32 following their meeting on the U.K. edition of Celebrity Big Brother in April, 2025. During her time on the reality show, Siwa claimed that she discovered more about her sexual identity.

Speaking during the show, she said, “I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, but I think you — I think being here, I’ve realized, ‘Oh no, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer,’” as reported by US Weekly. Siwa parted ways with her then-partner Kath Ebbs after leaving the Big Brother house.

The “Karma” singer and Hughes sparked speculation that they were involved romantically after developing a close relationship on the reality show.

In June 2025, Hughes shared a selfie via Snapchat in which he and Siwa were seen together in bed. The next day, Siwa confirmed that she and Hughes are dating after initially describing their relationship as “platonic.”
