A Special Presentation
Hughes expressed his joy about presenting the Humanitarian Award to Siwa, calling it an “incredible” experience. “To come here tonight and be able to present her with the award is very special,” he said.
While Siwa and Hughes are navigating a “transatlantic relationship,” they’ve yet to discuss living arrangements in the future.
