Feeling overjoyed, Chris Hughes expressed his happiness, describing it as the best time of his life, all while being in a relationship with JoJo Siwa. Adding to his delight, his favorite team, Sunderland, secured their promotion back to the Premier League by defeating Sheffield 2-1 on a Saturday.
The 32-year-old reality star, who was recently seen sharing a kiss with the 22-year-old American dancer during their vacation in Mexico, shared his celebrations on Instagram Stories. He posted pictures of himself among the crowd at Wembley, proudly displaying a Sunderland flag in his excitement.
The dramatic moment came during the final game against Sheffield United when, with just five minutes left on the clock, a young substitute player, set to make a controversial move to Brighton in the upcoming summer, scored a crucial goal that ensured Sunderland’s return to the top-flight Premier League.
Chris, who met JoJo in the Celebrity Big Brother house, captioned the post: ‘One of the best days of our lives, in the happiest stage of my life’.
