JoJo Siwa, 21, has revealed that she no longer identifies as what she thought she did, following her time on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK.
The Dance Moms star, currently in a relationship with influencer Kath Ebbs, made the admission during a private conversation with RuPaul’s Drag Race star Danny Beard. She explained, “I’ve never – I think I’ve always told myself, I’m a l#sbi#n. I think being here, I’ve realized I am not a l#sbi#n, I’m queer.”
JoJo, who came out as pansexual in 2021, has previously described herself as gay in interviews. But during her time in the Big Brother house, she had a breakthrough moment about her identity. “I think that’s really cool, I’m switching letters! I’ve dropped the L and I’ve gone to the Q, baby!” JoJo added, embracing the fluidity of sexuality and how her understanding of it has evolved.
This moment was shared on a livestream after a triple eviction, where JoJo confided in Danny Beard, saying, “I feel so queer.” Danny, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, responded with understanding, “I’m queer!” The conversation was a pivotal one for JoJo, who continues to navigate her identity publicly.
JoJo’s friendship with 32-year-old Chris Hughes has sparked discussions among housemates and viewers. They have been seen being affectionate and sharing cuddles, with Chris even admitting that he wanted to kiss her. Despite the flirtation, JoJo remains committed to her partner Kath, who identifies as non-binary. Kath, who began dating JoJo in November 2024, has been subjected to online harassment due to rumors surrounding JoJo’s relationship with Chris.
Throughout the show, JoJo also dealt with a homophobic tirade from Mickey Rourke, 72, who made inappropriate comments, including calling JoJo a “f*g” and suggesting he could “make her straight.” JoJo firmly responded, “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship,” before Mickey was removed from the house for further inappropriate actions.
