    JoJo Siwa wants to describe herself as "queer" amid her new relationship with Chris Hughes

    The 22-year-old star - who has previously been romantically involved with the likes of Kylie Prew and Dakayla Wilson - has been dating former Love Island contestant Chris Hughes, 32, since they met on the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother and has decided to use an "umbrella" term to describe her orientation


    She told E! News: "I think the most beautiful term now is queer.

    "I think queer is an umbrella of, 'Look, I'm just me.' And I think the most beautiful thing about the LGBTQIA community is love is love. And that goes both ways.

    "There's loads of beautiful, different sexualities. Sexuality and queerness is a lovely rainbow that has all different places, and it also has places on this rainbow that we don't even know exist yet.."

    The Karma hitmaker added that she just feels "so content" with where she is in her personal life right now and insisted that she "can't really help" who she falls in love with.

    She added: "I feel so in the right position for myself. I feel so content with my happiness. I feel so relaxed and at ease with where I'm at. I feel so happy and peaceful that the love that I feel is so real. You can't help who you fall in love with."

    Even though the pair previously insisted they were just "platonic soulmates", she's admitted they are now more than friends and she couldn't be happier.

    Asked if their bond is platonic or romantic, JoJo paused for some time before she told The Guardian newspaper: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way."

    JoJo dismissed speculation her relationship with Chris is a "PR stunt".

    She said: "Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much."
