iHeartRadio Music Awards 2025: JoJo Siwa Explains Her Massive Crown & Red Carpet Look (Exclusive)
Some star couples are using the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards to lean into what the world needs now—love, sweet love.
Indeed, multiple pairs of lovebirds used the March 17 ceremony—hosted by LL Cool J—as a special date night and graced the red carpet in style. (See every celeb at the award show here.)
For instance, Ariana Madix shimmered in a gold cocktail dress and matching pumps as she wrapped her arm around boyfriend Daniel Wai, who sported a heather green suit draped over a forest green shirt.
In addition to the Vanderpump Rules alum, Bachelor Nation's Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile—who got engaged after meeting on Bachelor in Paradise in 2021—rocked out on the red carpet, with Serena donning a sparkling black-and-white cocktail dress and strappy black heels. For his part, Joe wore a gray short-sleeved button down, black slacks and black loafers.
Nelly—who is performing and being honored with the 2025 iHeartRadio Landmark Award for his decades-long contribution to music—had a parents' night out at the event with his wife Ashanti, with whom he shares 8-month-old Kareem Kendaide “KK” Haynes.
Also on the carpet, Jojo Siwa wowwed the crowd as she sported an eccentric denim outfit, complete with a chandelier head piece, and shared a kiss with girlfriend Kath Ebbs, whom she confirmed she was dating in January.
"I'm in a beautiful relationship right now," Jojo told E! News' Francesca Amiker on the red carpet. "I feel so understood in a way that I've never been before. I feel so matched with that level of care and that level of natural instinct to care towards somebody."
She added, "It's been a beautiful few months."
