JoJo — who recently declared she no longer identifies as a lesbian — is ‘telling people that Chris is the one in a dramatic twist in the way she has lived her life over the last few years,’ the insider said.
‘She feels more alive than she ever has been with anyone else. With Chris, she realised that this is exactly what she has wanted for so long.’
The insider confirmed the romance, stating: ‘The rumours are true, they are a thing and it is going very well.’
More than just a fleeting romance, JoJo sees a long-term future with the reality star.
‘Another thing she has wanted for so long is children. And she feels that Chris would be a tremendous father if they decided to go down that route.’
The source added, ‘Things are happening at a breakneck pace to the outside eye, but to them it is going at a pace that feels absolutely right.’
Earlier this week the pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other in new snaps uploaded by the singer – after ‘confirming’ that they are together.
Despite insisting their bond was platonic during their time on Celebrity Big Brother, they have sparked speculation that things have now progressed to the next level after Chris jetted to America for JoJo’s 22nd birthday as he enjoyed a holiday with her family.
