I feel like a lot of times, people expect child stars and their parents to kind of fall out over time, [but] my parents and I, we&#8217;ve only gotten closer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve recently taken up golf, which has brought me very close to my dad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>JoJo continued her career on Nickelodeon and later released EP Guilty Pleasure in 2024 before appearing on the likes of Celebrity Big Brother and Dancing With The Stars.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe explained that she and her mother have always been &#8220;so close&#8221;, and it&#8217;s been great to see the bond with her father blossom.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;I&#8217;ve found a lot of fun golfing with him and it&#8217;s been really special because, obviously, my mom and I are so close, you know, she, she is my other half\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I shouldn&#8217;t say she&#8217;s my other half because technically [my boyfriend] Chris [Hughes] would be my other half, but my mom is my right-hand man throughout everything in my life.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And so now to have golfing with my dad&#8217;s been lovely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJoJo and former Love Island star Chris, 33, have been dating for almost a year after meeting on UK reality show Celebrity Big Brother, and she&#8217;s glad to have found such a perfect match.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cIt&#8217;s just \u2026  he&#8217;s my person. And everything in life, you&#8217;ll always find the good and the bright side when it&#8217;s your person.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThere&#8217;s no right way to inspire anyone to make a relationship work at all.
