You know JoJo Siwa.
The 20-year-old, who rose to fame on Dance Moms, has long been vocal when it comes to the subject of her romantic life.
JoJo came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, and she’s since been in multiple relationships in the spotlight.
She split from her most recent girlfriend, Avery Cyrus, last December, and has remained publicly single ever since.
But while she’s been single for a minute, JoJo has now opened up about deeply desiring a romantic relationship.
Sitting down on Raven-Symoné and wife Miranda Pearman-Maday’s podcast, The Best Podcast Ever, JoJo gushed over the couple’s relationship and said that she, too, wants “somebody to love” in her life.
“I just fantasize about having it for myself, like it’s all I want,” she said, noting that she hasn’t been on a date in six months. “I’m such a lover, and I don’t have somebody to love, and I crave it so much.”
Going on to address her years-long dream to be a mom, JoJo admitted that she feels like she’ll have kids “pretty early” in life.
“The personal side of my life, since I was 12, I can’t wait to be a mom,” she said. “I cannot wait to have babies. I want to have so many. I can’t wait.”
“I feel like I’ll have kids pretty early,” she added, before addressing the complications around having children as an LGBTQ+ person.
“Obviously, me having kids is a lot bigger process,” she shared, prompting Raven to ask if she wants to carry her kids herself. In response, JoJo said, “I do.”
JoJo’s comments about wanting to carry her future kids herself comes months after she faced heavy backlash for pretending to be pregnant.
JoJo fueled rumors that she was pregnant by posting pointed content to her Snapchat stories. She shared a video of her friend, Ezra Sosa, touching her belly and saying, “You know that everyone thinks I'm the dad, right?” before later recording herself shopping for baby clothes.
Elsewhere on Raven and Miranda’s podcast, JoJo shed a little more light on how she navigates her romantic relationships.
Speaking about the subject of love languages, JoJo noted that she enjoys buying her partners excessive gifts and making grand gestures to show her love.
Reflecting on one of her past relationships, JoJo revealed that after a month of dating, she planned a picnic that was so “beautiful and grand” that her partner thought she was being proposed to. JoJo later recalled putting together a 20-minute-long “musical act” for a different girl, whom she wanted to ask to be her girlfriend.
Host Raven seemed a little perplexed at JoJo’s revelations, telling her, “You can’t put out the broadway shenanigans for the girlfriend ask, OK? You gotta lead up to it.”
JoJo went on to note that while she loves buying people gifts, she doesn’t expect or want physical items back. Instead, she values quality time and words of affirmation.
“It gets hard because I’ll be like, ‘Let’s go to fucking Disney World, and I’ll pay for everything,’ and all I want is the sweetest words,” she said, before noting that as she’s gotten older, she's started to understand how this one-sided act of buying excessive gifts can be viewed as “love-bombing.”
“I never realized that physically buying things is classified as love-bombing,” she said. “I never had intention to, I just literally want everyone to have the greatest time.”
And reflecting on her past relationships in a little more detail, JoJo noted that she used to find herself falling for people quickly and “not having any sort of standards.”
“I found myself just being attracted to the first thing and being really OK with the first thing, and not having any sort of standards,” she shared.
“I’ve been better about it, but I just want it so bad,” she added.
