Joelle Joanie "JoJo" Siwa (born May 19, 2003) is an American singer, dancer, actress, and media personality. From 2015 to 2016, she appeared as a dancer on two seasons of the reality television show Dance Moms alongside her mother, Jessalynn Siwa. She was included on Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2020.
Her father is of Polish descent. She has one sibling, an older brother named Jayden Siwa, who was previously also a vlogger; he now works as a real estate agent.
Siwa started her career as a top-5 finalist and the youngest contestant on the second season of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, produced by Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms fame. She appeared on the show with her mother and was eliminated in week 9. Siwa soon began to appear on Dance Moms, beginning with auditioning for Miller's "ALDC" dance competition team in 2014 and being selected for the team in early 2015.
On January 26, 2024, she was announced to be returning as a judge for the eighteenth season of So You Think You Can Dance, replacing Nigel Lythgoe, who had earlier announced his withdrawal from the upcoming season. In February 2024, Siwa and her mother were alleged to have mistreated members of XOMG! Pop by subjecting members to grueling rehearsal schedules that left little time for school and promoting an unhealthily competitive working environment.
Siwa was in a relationship with TikTok star Mark Bontempo from August to November 2020. Siwa came out as being part of the LGBTQ+ community on social media in January 2021, initially declining to label her sexuality. Later, she shared that she was not attracted to men, and identified as lesbian. During her time on Celebrity Big Brother in 2025, in a conversation with Danny Beard, Siwa admitted she had begun to identify as queer rather than lesbian, saying ‘fuck the ‘L’, I’m going to the ‘Q’. She further disclosed she used any/all pronouns, indicating she identifies as non-binary, having previously talked about her gender identity search on Raven-Symoné's podcast.
Siwa had an on and off relationship with Kylie Prew from February 2021 to June 2022. She also dated social media content creator Avery Cyrus from August to December 2022, dancer Dakayla Wilson from August to November 2024 and non-binary Australian influencer/actor Kath Ebbs from January to April 2025. In May 2025, Siwa confirmed she was in a relationship with English television personality Chris Hughes, whom she met on Celebrity Big Brother UK.
