The Truth About JoJo Siwa's Relationship With Jenna Johnson
JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson made history when they became the first same-sex pair to compete on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." The duo had a triumphant run on the popular show and finished second, behind NBA player Iman Shumpert and his partner Daniella Karagach. Following their first dance, Siwa posted a photo of the pair on Instagram and gave a special shoutout to her dance partner.
"I couldn't ask for a better partner! Thank you for taking me through this process while making it the most fun ever," Siwa wrote. Similarly, Johnson also gushed over her newfound friend, expressing her "admiration" for the YouTube personality in an equally adorable message.
"There aren't enough words to express my absolute admiration for you," Johnson wrote, alongside a photo of the duo. "The moment I met you, I knew that you were going to change my life." And now, with Siwa and Johnson's run on "DWTS" now complete, some fans may be wondering about the status of their relationship.
JoJo Siwa calls Jenna Johnson her 'older sister'
JoJo Siwa had an eventful 2021. In addition to her groundbreaking stint on "Dancing with the Stars," Siwa also split from her girlfriend, Kylie Prew after less than a year of dating. A source confirmed the news to Us Weekly in October 2021 and revealed that "some ["DWTS"] cast are aware about the breakup."
Siwa later explained that it was her dancing partner, Jenna Johnson, who helped her "find happiness with herself." "She has become my older sister and guided me through so many things," Siwa said, via Page Six. "I think one thing specifically that she's guided me through is finding happiness with myself." And while Siwa did not explicitly mention her ex, her remarks came days after news of their split was announced.
Siwa has since rekindled her relationship with her ex-girlfriend Kylie Prew, announcing that the two were back together nearly seven months after separating. "If you love something let it go, if it comes back," Siwa wrote, alongside a photo of the pair.
JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson are still friends
Following their time on "Dancing with The Stars," JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson seem to have maintained a strong friendship. A week after the show ended, Siwa posted a photo of the pair on-set and exclaimed that she "missed everything about" her time on the competition series.
"I miss rehearsals, I miss performing, I miss the crew, I miss my trailer," Siwa captioned the photo. Adding, "I miss JEN (oyyy I miss car rides w Jen and boba and everything SO much). If only time travel was a thing and I could re live it over and over again."
Siwa kicked off her D.R.E.A.M. tour after her time on "DWTS" was over, but that didn't stop Jenna from seeing her new friend on the road. In March, Johnson shared a touching message to her "little sis," on Instagram, after attending Siwa's concert. "So proud of you and the star that you are," Johnson wrote. "This is just the beginning for you. Can't wait to watch your star shine brighter and brighter."
