JoJo Siwa, the 17-year-old YouTube personality who has TOTALLY charmed us, confirmed some amazing news on January 22!
She’s gay and super happy to shout it to the roof top! We couldn’t be more thrilled for her!
Her announcement actually started on January 21. Without directly saying anything, the dancer posted a vid of herself on TikTok lip-syncing to Lady Gaga‘s Born This Way. Many fans speculated where she was headed with this — as BTW has become an unofficial anthem for people in the LGBTQIA+ community, especially those who are coming out. The video received 25 million views and over 4.5 million likes. Holy cow! Congrats, sis!
Hooowever, the real news came a day later on JoJo’s Instagram Story! In particular, she dropped a pic of herself wearing a shirt that read: Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever. In the photo, Siwa even added a caption thanking her cousin! So, while we don’t have a direct quote of the pop singer coming out, this definitely seems to say it all!
The Nickelodeon star also took to Twitter where she posted about the T-shirt–and YouTuber Colleen Ballinger noticed! The comedian wrote:
“I’ve known you a long time and this is the happiest I’ve ever seen you. You’re absolutely glowing and I’m so proud of the woman you are becoming! love yoooou!
