JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are making it red carpet official!
The “Karma” singer, 22, made her red carpet debut with her British beau on Tuesday, October 21, at Dancers Against Cancer’s 2025 Gala of the Stars at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
As well as walking the red carpet together for the first time, Tuesday’s gala proved to be a particularly memorable evening for the couple as Hughes, 32, presented Siwa with the Humanitarian Award on stage.
Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly at the event, Siwa said it was a “big deal” for her and Hughes to make their red carpet debut at the event — which comes six months after they met on Celebrity Big Brother UK.
JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes Relationship Timeline
“I mean, honestly, just kind of how the cookie crumbled,” Siwa told Us about why Tuesday’s gala was the perfect time to step out together.
Hughes, meanwhile, gushed that he was ecstatic to celebrate his girlfriend as she received an award.
“You in this wonderful, wonderful situation,” Hughes said to Siwa. “The Humanitarian Award’s incredible. So, to come here tonight, and kind of have a small involvement and able to present her with the award, is very special. It was an easy flight to come over to see JoJo, to see the family, and to see everyone here.”
For the occasion, the Dance Moms alum wore a floor-length black dress with jewelry adorning the neckline, while Hughes wore a polka dot brown shirt and white pants.
Siwa reflected on her romance with Hughes, telling Us that she couldn’t be happier.
“There’s no real way to explain it. Just anything and everything about him just … I was telling my mom this, actually. I was like, ‘Anything about him, I just adore it,’” she said. “It is just fun and I don’t know, just feels right. I love the bond that he has with my family. I love his family.”
“I love your family,” Hughes added, describing Siwa’s relatives as “adorable.”
The singer and dancer went on to share how she’s able to be vulnerable with Hughes, explaining how he comforted her the night before after a particularly busy period.

“It just feels so relaxed,” she said. “Honestly, I’ve had a very nuts few weeks … and last night we were laying in bed, and I’ll be honest, I had a cry. And then he held me tight. I was just having to cry because I was just overwhelmed and exhausted.”
Siwa said her boyfriend was half-asleep, but still made the effort to comfort her.
“I was jet-lagged,” Hughes described the sweet moment. “I still cared that she was upset.”
Siwa continued, “I said to him, ‘This is the calmest I’ve felt in a really long time.’ It just feels calm.”
JoJo Siwa’s Dating History Through the Years: Chris Hughes and More
Siwa and Hughes met in April while they were both contestants on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Though they formed a close bond in the Big Brother House, it wasn’t until after exiting the Big Brother House that their relationship turned from platonic to romantic.
“It’s not platonic anymore, 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,” Siwa told The Guardian in June. “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.”
The following month, Hughes said in an interview with Fabulous magazine, “Life has an unexpected way of bringing two people together, and this feels like that. We were meant to cross paths. We keep saying to each other it was serendipity. Life handed me a blessing in my lap.”
“Our first kiss was genuinely special — it felt like I was in a movie. I can’t keep my hands off her now,” he added.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Ahead of the crucial National Assembly Speaker election scheduled for 29 October 2025, the Concerned Citizens People Power Movement has issued a strong appeal to Members of Parliament (MPs) to prioritize national interest over partisan considerations.
The statement, signed by Edward Kambanje and Oliver Nakoma, emphasizes the importance of electing a Speaker who embodies competence, integrity and impartiality.
The movement stressed that the position of Speaker is not merely administrative but serves as the cornerstone of Malawi’s legislative process and a guardian of parliamentary integrity.
It urged MPs to elect a Speaker who demonstrates experience, education, approachability, unity and impartiality, highlighting that Malawi needs a leader capable of guiding parliamentary debates with fairness, commanding respect across party lines and understanding parliamentary procedures deeply.
“With our nation striving for economic recovery, democratic consolidation and social stability, it is vital that Parliament is led by a Speaker who can rise above partisan politics and ensure that the voices of all Malawians regardless of political affiliation are heard and respected,” the statement reads.
The movement added that the Speaker must act as a unifier, maintain order, foster collaboration among Members and protect the independence of Parliament as an equal arm of government.
The statement further called for a leader whose conduct and character can restore public confidence in the Legislature and advance the aspirations of Malawians.
“Malawians are watching. The choice made on 29th October will shape the tone and effectiveness of our Legislature for years to come,” concludes the statement.
Currently, there three candidates vying for Speakership including Kondwani Nakhumwa, Sammer Suleiman and other.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The orientation programme for Members of Parliament-elect has entered its third day at the Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe, aimed at equipping legislators with vital knowledge and skills for their upcoming roles.
However, the session was overshadowed by notable signs of distraction and lack of engagement from some elected members of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP).
Presenters at the orientation expressed disappointment as several MCP members appeared more engrossed in their phones than the important presentations being delivered. Among those frequently seen distracted were Richard Chimwendo Banda, Moses Kunkuyu, and Vitumbiko Mumba.
This behavior has raised eyebrows and drawn criticism from both facilitators and political observers alike.
Our investigation reveals that these senior MCP members appeared disengaged, seemingly unable to adjust to their new roles outside government.
Their inattentiveness during the session, which focused on “Optimising the Impact of Parliament through Evidence-Informed Legislation and Oversight Functions,” has been described as shameful and disrespectful to the institution they are set to serve.
The orientation programme boasts a robust agenda with presentations from leading experts.
Ms. Velia Manyonga, Head of Parliament Library and Research, alongside Dr. Eliya Msiyaphazi Zulu, Executive Director of the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP), led the pivotal session on evidence-informed legislation.
Other notable sessions included Professor Edrinnie Elizabeth Kayambazinthu from the University of Malawi, who covered techniques for confident speech delivery and structuring arguments, as well as a joint presentation by Mr. Louis Loti and Dr. Winford Masanjala on budgeting and financial oversight.
Political analyst Mathews Namukhoyo condemned the MCP members’ apparent lack of seriousness, stating that the party remains in denial over its electoral defeat.
Namukhoyo emphasized that as representatives of the people, MCP legislators must demonstrate commitment and dedication to their parliamentary responsibilities.
The orientation programme continues with hopes that all members, regardless of party allegiance, will engage fully and prepare adequately to serve Malawi’s democratic processes effectively.

LILONGWE (MaraviPost): At just 25 years old, Aisha Chingaipe is breaking barriers and proving that women can succeed in jobs usually done by men. She works in welding and fabrication a tough field where not many women are found.Aisha will be the only woman representing Malawi at the WorldSkills Africa Regional Competition in 2025. But she’s not just going to take part and she’s going to win.
Currently training at Salima Technical College, Aisha stands out not only for her skill and determination but also for her courage in taking on a male-dominated trade.
“People think welding is for men because of the physical strength it requires and eye strain from the sparks. Many women are scared of losing their eyesight, but I believe if men can do it, I can do it too,” said Aisha, a proud former student of Likuni Girls Secondary School(Open session)
Coming from a family of four two girls and two boysAisha is determined to make her mark and inspire other young women to follow her path.
Her journey has not gone unnoticed.
According to Elwin Chiwembu, Executive Director of the Technical, Entrepreneurial and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TEVETA), the national skills competitions are platforms designed to unearth and celebrate young talents like Aisha.
These competitions provide an opportunity for TEVET trainees across the country to demonstrate their skills, creativity, and resilience.
They also offer employers a chance to see the potential impact of technical education on productivity and innovation,” said Chiwembu.
The competition also plays a crucial role in connecting industry leaders with emerging talent, potentially opening doors for employment and mentorship.
However, the gender gap in technical fields remains a concern. Joseph Chilombo, Director of assessment and certification service s in the Ministry of Labour, highlighted the low participation of women in technical colleges.
“Most technical colleges are still male-dominated. We encourage more women to take up technical and vocational training to balance gender representation and empower women with practical, employable skills,” said Chilombo.
Despite the odds, Aisha remains focused and optimistic. With sparks flying from her welding torch and a fire burning in her heart, she’s ready to show that skill has no gender.
“I want to prove that women can do it too and do it well,” she said with a confident smile.
As Aisha prepares for the regional showdown, she carries the hopes of many young women looking up to her. Win or lose, she is already a champion for change.

KIGALI-(MaraviPost)-Airtel Africa, a leading provider of telecommunications and mobile money services across 14 African countries, has highlighted industry partnerships, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data centres as critical pillars for delivering Africa’s digital future.
Airtel Africa’s Chief Executive Officer, Sunil Taldar observes that the efforts will shape the next decade of
Africa’s telecom revolution, marking a shift from merely connecting people to enabling them to create value through such connections.
In a keynote address at the 2025 Mobile World Congress (also known as MWC25) Kigali, Taldar stated: “Africa’s digital decade has begun. The continent that once leapfrogged into mobile telephony is now ready to leap again – into an era where every byte of data fuels productivity and every connection builds prosperity.”
He said, “Africa is ready for its next leap from access to productivity. This requires partnership between operators who co-build, technology manufactures who equip, regulators who enable, investors who believe, tax regimes which support and young Africans who create.
“Together we can build a continent where data is processed locally, talent is nurtured nationally,
and innovation is scaled globally”.
Airtel Africa CEO adds “Africa’s digital future needs AI to make networks smarter and greener, customer experiences more intuitive and mobile money more secure and intuitive.
“It will also require a connected network of data centres linked by high-capacity fibre to
unlock inclusive digital participation even in remote regions.”
He stated further, “Airtel Africa is investing in major data-centre hubs in Nigeria and Kenya to support
the continent’s digital future.
“We are also deploying AI in operations, including SMS spam detection, customer onboarding, mobile money fraud detection and sites’ energy optimisation”.
This year’s edition of the annual gathering of industry leaders, innovators and policymakers held annually in Kigali Rwanda tagged MWC25 explores how connectivity and digital technologies are
accelerating Africa’s transformation.
Speaking when he officially opened MWC25 Kigali, Rwanda’s President, Paul Kagame noted that
Africa has gone from limited connectivity to a mobile-driven economy in a few years.
“While the challenges that Africa faces are significant, they also offer great growth potential if we
collaborate. Governments, the private sector and other partners should harmonise policies and create the right environment for innovation.
“This will enable our data and payment systems to
flow securely across borders and connect our economies. The future we must build is an Africa
that is bold, connected and competitive,” President Kagame added.
The discussions at MWC25 closely align with Malawi’s Vision 2063, which identifies digital transformation as a key driver of inclusive economic growth and sustainable development.
Airtel Malawi’s strategic focus on expanding digital infrastructure, integrating AI technologies, and
enhancing mobile money services supports national goals around innovation, youth empowerment, and competitiveness, reinforcing the country’s position in Africa’s digital future.
