JoJo Siwa opened up about critics tearing "apart" her sexuality after confirming relationship with Chris Hughes.

JoJo Siwa has been on a real rollercoaster ride over the past month. The reality dance star turned pop singer went from having her honor defended by housemate Chris Hughes on Celebrity Big Brother UK after homophobic comments from actor Mickey Rourke to breaking up with then-partner Kath Ebbs at the show's wrap party and then partnering up with Hughes.

Hughes and Siwa's friendship began earlier this year on "Celebrity Big Brother UK," where they were both contestants. In the "Big Brother" house, Hughes stood up for Siwa after co-contestant Mickey Rourke grilled her about her sexuality.
