A mum was on board the new Royal Caribbean Star of the Seas cruise ship when a “kind” couple stepped in to help her so she could have a “hands-free” moment – only to realise who they were
A mum received some help and support from two “kind souls” on board a new Royal Caribbean cruise ship, only to quickly realise they were none other than American singer and dancer Jojo Siwa and reality star Chris Hughes. The duo made waves after meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year where they insisted they were just close friends before going on to confirm they’re a couple.
They’ve faced criticism and concern over their age gap with 32-year-old Chris being 10 years older than Jojo, who turned 22 in May. Jojo previously identified as a lesbian and queer, with her relationship with a man prompting shock among fans.
Recently though, the couple were all smiles as they relaxed on board the vast Star of the Seas cruise ship while playing with an adorable baby girl. In footage shared on TikTok, captured by the little one’s mother, Dance Moms alum Jojo can be seen stroking the baby’s back as she snuggles into her.
The clip then cuts to Chris holding the child while he and Jojo play and engage her by pulling funny faces.
Mum Rach Sullivan added text over the top of the footage to offer further insight into the situation.
She penned: “When kind souls offer to hold your baby so you can be hands-free for a moment and now your baby won’t let you take her back.”
In the caption accompanying the clip, she penned: “Rosie found some unexpected babysitters on the cruise.”
The video struck a chord with millions of people, amassing more than 7.5 million views and over 1,400 comments from people keen to share their thoughts.
Jojo Siwa simply commented: “Best friends forever.”
Chris Hughes said: “She’s gorgeous and so is Rosie, what a wonderful happy baby and family.”
One viewer said: “Something my mum has always told me: ‘Babies and animals can tell who actually loves them’.”
Another referenced the baby challenge from Chris’s stint on Love Island: “They’ve clearly never seen Chris with his baby Cash from Love Island.”
The official Royal Caribbean account said: “Can’t handle the cuteness overload.”
Someone else said: “The kind soul being Jojo Siwa and not a stranger omg lol,” to which, another person replied: “It’s def a stranger to that baby.”
And another person joked: “If Chris and Jojo announce they’re having a baby in the next couple of months, we know who to blame.”
Another said: “Babies don’t cuddle just anyone like that. She knows she’s a kind soul.”
Someone else confessed: “Crying over Jojo Siwa holding a baby wasn’t on my bingo card today.”
Then a person added: “I don’t care what people say about JoJo Siwa. Anything I ever hear or see about her from a ‘regular person’ is that she is so kind and always makes time for her fans. I am so happy she’s happy.”
