Chris Hughes fangirls over Little Mix girlfriend Jesy Nelson at the Pride of Britain
They've been dating since earlier this year!
Little Mix's Jesy Nelson and Love Island's Chris Hughes really are the definition of couple goals! The pair, who have been dating since the start of this year, have been getting stronger by the month - especially after he appeared in her incredible documentary, Odd One Out.
We caught up with Chris at The Pride of Britain Awards last night (28th Oct) to chat about the inspirational awards themselves, as well as asking how his relationship with Jesy is going... And it turns out, it's going super well!
When we asked what his proudest moment of the year was, he sweetly replied that it was when he asked Jesy to be his girlfriend! Aww! "That was a nice moment. She's just wonderful, we're best friends - we spend so much time together."
He added, "I've been on tour with her so much - I went to my ninth show the other day, they've only been touring a couple of months! So proper fangirling, but we're just best friends. I love it."
On Jesy's bandmates - Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock - Chris said, "The girls are lovely. Honestly, the nicest four girls you'll ever meet out of anyone. Amazing, just so nice, time for everyone - I like people like that, they're the type of people I warm to."
Cute!
