JoJo Siwa has officially revealed her new relationship with “So You Think You Can Dance” alum Dakayla Wilson, sparking excitement among fans. On August 14, the 21-year-old former Dance Moms star shared a video on her Instagram Stories, showcasing her and Dakayla Wilson together during a dance class. In the clip, Wilson, known for her impressive performances on SYTYCD season 18, danced in front of a mirror before happily announcing to the room, “So I have a girlfriend,” which was met with cheers and excitement. The video ended with Siwa and Wilson embracing in a joyful bear hug.
Siwa captioned the video with a playful message, “Cats outta the bag 😺,” and tagged Wilson. Wilson, who gained fame through her appearance on SYTYCD season 18, reposted the clip on her own Instagram, adding, “surprise shawtyyyyy 😽.” The couple then shared additional moments from their day on social media, including a post of them holding hands outdoors. Siwa captioned the photo, “Perfect day 🖤,” while Wilson mirrored the sentiment, calling it “literally the most perfect day 🖤” on her own Instagram Story.
While it’s unclear how long JoJo Siwa and Dakayla Wilson have been dating, Siwa hinted that they recently spent a weekend together, attending a dance class that Wilson was teaching. In a TikTok video, Siwa shared footage of herself dancing in the class, humorously writing, “Girlfriend taught a dance class so i took a weekend off of being JoJo Siwa and became her All Star Assistant.” She added that although the class was physically demanding, it was “WORTH IT.”
Siwa’s last public relationship was with TikTok star Avery Cyrus, which ended in December 2022 after three months of dating. At the time, Siwa explained their split in a TikTok video, saying, “We decided that we are better off as friends!” Despite their breakup, she maintained that they parted on amicable terms, stating that they were both still young and figuring things out.
Meanwhile, Dakayla Wilson sparked rumors earlier this year of a potential relationship with her SYTYCD season 18 castmate Anthony Curley, but nothing concrete materialized from the speculation.
JoJo Siwa has been candid about her love life in the past. In March, she described her dating life as “messy” during an interview with PEOPLE. She also spoke about her tendency to prioritize relationships over other aspects of her life, including friends, family, and her career. Now, it seems Siwa is enjoying her time with Wilson and embracing her latest chapter in love.
