Discussing how her relationship with Chris has changed, JoJo told The Guardian: "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.”

When asked about people calling the relationship a PR stunt, JoJo added: "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."

She added: "Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I’ve never been in pain from smiling so much.”

And JoJo isn't the only one grinning from ear to ear over her new relationship. In a recent interview with the House of Cavani, Chris was asked about his current relationship status and he said: "Happy, that's my relationship status. It's happy... It's just happy."

When asked about JoJo specifically, he added: "She's just my favourite person, we've had so many questions from everyone about JoJo. But yeah she's just my favourite human and someone I can literally talk about relentlessly."

Talking about them being apart, he said: "I miss her, my stomach was rumbling earlier, I keep getting stomach rumbles. I always get that when I have separation anxiety."
