AceShowbiz - In a twist that no one saw coming, Chris Hughes, 32, and JoJo Siwa, 21, have become the unlikely focal points of this year's "Celebrity Big Brother". Their close interactions have generated significant buzz online, leading to wild speculations among fans.

They formed a close bond after Hughes comforted Siwa following Mickey Rourke's homophobic comments, and they gradually got more comfortable with each other as Rourke was booted and the show progressed.

In the latest episode, Hughes shocked fans as he offered Siwa to "have her babies" during a task in which housemates dressed as cats. While the remark was loaded with humor, it left many viewers feeling uncomfortable.

SIwa, who's in a committed relationship outside the house, did not seem entirely put off, prompting heated debates among the viewers on social media.

The startling exchange happened as Siwa discussed her desire to have children, prompting fellow housemate Donna Preston to jest that Hughes could be of help. Hughes, apparently intrigued, affirmed his willingness to father her children, referencing his "good swimmers."

In a previous airing, Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa were seen snuggling on the bed, adding fuel to the speculations about their relationship. Siwa was also seen writing secret messages on Hughes' hand with her finger - breaking the house rules and subsequently getting punished.

Fans were divided, with some expressing distaste over the "weird" and "creepy" comments made by Hughes, particularly during a memory game when he told Siwa that her impressive recall was "a big turn on." This remark was met with immediate backlash online, with many describing the situation as cringe-worthy and inappropriate.

While Siwa's girlfriend kept mum, Hughes' ex-girlfriend, Olivia Atwood, shared her thoughts on the controversy, suggesting that Hughes might be leveraging Siwa's popularity for strategic gain.

Meanwhile, Hughes' brother, Ben Hughes, defended their bond, stating that it likely formed due to Hughes standing up for Siwa.

Whether a genuine friendship or merely a calculated game strategy, the Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa saga has become a highlight of this season of "Celebrity Big Brother", leaving the audience eagerly anticipating what will happen next.
