JoJo Siwa Redefines Sexuality as ‘Queer’ After Big Brother Romance
Hold your surprise: JoJo Siwa has officially upgraded her spot in the LGBTQIA+ kaleidoscope from “lesbian” to “queer,” and yes, she’s as chill about it as you’d expect. According to an exclusive chat with E! News’ Francesca Amiker, the 22-year-old pop star realized that the comforting umbrella term “queer” fits her evolving self better than any singular letter ever could. Irony check: she discovered this epiphany not in a secluded retreat, but while navigating a brand-new romance with Chris Hughes, her Big Brother UK co-star.
“I think the most beautiful term now is queer,” Siwa deadpanned—proof that rainbows aren’t just for bows and glitter. She added that queerness is “a lovely rainbow that has all different places,” including off-road branches we’ve yet to name, so go ahead and update your sexuality flowchart. Dry roast incoming: because nothing screams personal growth like adjusting your identity in real time on social media and reality TV.
Fans will recall that Siwa initially came out as a lesbian at 17 back in 2021, only to part ways with Australian influencer Kath Ebbs at the Big Brother UK after-party in April. No hard feelings—though some internet detectives might beg to differ. Still, JoJo insists she “doesn’t have to explain” her shifting self and is “so content” in her newfound label. Translation: don’t @ her if you still have questions about her preference checklist.
Her romance with Hughes—who won hearts on Big Brother UK—has been nothing short of revelatory. “I never second-guessed my feelings for him,” she noted, which is just another way of saying that indecision is so last season. When she mentions Chris, pure joy apparently flows from her like confetti at a kid’s birthday party. Cue the dry commentary: because love makes everyone sound like they’re reading from a greeting card.
Beyond romantic milestones, Siwa has also teamed up with the NMDP Registry to promote blood stem cell donation. She waxed poetic about “the chance to save somebody’s life,” confessing that “a piece of my heart” feels tethered to the cause. Bone-dry truth bomb: nothing says “I care” like urging fans to register as potential lifesavers—while simultaneously dropping your next single.
A quick rewind to Siwa’s dating history reveals a pattern: she announced a relationship with a mystery musician at 17—only for it to fizzle by November—and later set sail with Kylie Prew in early 2021. Critics aside, each chapter seems to have guided her to this very letter in the alphabet soup: queer.
There it is. JoJo Siwa, master of sparkles and self-discovery, continues to redefine her identity in front of millions. Tune in next time for more celebrity self-reinvention, or at least until someone else wants to swap a letter in that ever-sprawling acronym. Well, there you have it—humanity at its most colorful.
