JoJo Siwa, 23, looks incredible in a white lace mini dress as she plants a kiss on boyfriend Chris Hughes, 33, at Gala of the Stars in LA

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes couldn't keep their hands off each other as they attended the Dancers Against Cancer's 2026 Gala Of The Stars on Thursday. 

The couple looked smitten on the red carpet at Los Angeles' Beverly Hilton Hotel for the gala, which raises funds for dancers, choreographers, and their loved ones affected by cancer. 

JoJo, 23, looked incredible in a white lace mini dress with collar detail that cinched in at her slender waist. 

The Dance Moms star added to the look with a pair of glittering nude heels that boosted her petite frame and helped her reach up to plant a kiss on Chris. 

Love Island star Chris, 33, beamed broadly as he posed by her side wearing all black.

The couple were joined by JoJo's parents Jessalynn and Tom Siwa, with the quartet later posing for snaps as a group. 

It was fitting that JoJo was dressed in bridal white at the gala, given Chris shared this year that he is ready to pop the question.

The couple began dating after they met in the British Celebrity Big Brother house last year, and in May they celebrated their one-year anniversary.

He told The Sun: 'I've definitely given it some thought. But I don't know the exact location or what time of day. I think spontaneity would be good, something a little bit different to your usual ways, but when it feels right, I'll know.

'I come from a family where you get married, you have children, and that's what life's all about.

'I've got a huge family, lots of aunties, uncles and nieces, so obviously one day I'd love to have children of my own.'

Since they started dating, Chris and JoJo have tackled the challenges of a long-distance relationship, with neither star ready to permanently move.

In an interview with the Daily Mail in May, Chris said he's 'embraced' the challenges of his long-distance romance with JoJo.

He said: 'It is tricky, but it's not as tricky as people think.

'So many people ask me this, and it's like, before the last couple of months, we'd see each other every month, one way or another, whether she be over here or I go out there, so it's never as strenuous as people think.'

He continued: 'I think when you can jump on a flight and get yourself out there, if you've got the ability to do that and you've got the time, then it's a lovely thing, really.

'I kind of embrace it in the respect that I love going over to America. I love spending time with her and her family and the dogs, and it's obviously very different to being in the UK, but I kind of like that.

'It's always fun when I go out there, and yeah, we have a great time. Obviously, yes, you miss each other. That's very normal. It would be stupid if you didn't.

'But it's not as physically demanding or as stressful, I think, is what people would think it would be.'
