JoJo Siwa shared her first photos of her girlfriend after she revealed last week that she was dating someone.
The 17-year-old reality star and YouTube personality posted photos and a video on Instagram on Monday of the couple having fun together with an intimate message to her friend, with whom she has been dating for a month.

“After being my best friend for over a year, on January 8, 2021, I had to start calling this special person my girlfriend … and since then I have been the happiest I have ever been!” Siwa wrote. “She is seriously the most loving, supportive, happiest, most protective and just the most beautiful perfect person in the world. And I can call her mine! Happy one month for my girl! I love you more and more every day! ❤️”
In the photos and videos, Siwa and her friend, apparently named Kylie, based on the account Siwa tagged in the photos, dressed in silly costumes, laugh together and Justin Bieber’s “As Long As You Love Me” in the vehicle.
Siwa shared the photos less than a week after she told Jimmy Fallon on ‘The Tonight Show’ that she had a girlfriend who supported her when she decided last month to come out as part of the LGBTQ community.
“She was very encouraging,” Siwa told Fallon. She was like, ‘Do it! “And I was like, ‘OK,’ and I did. ‘”
The teenage influencer posted a TikTok video for the first time last month in which she danced to Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and then shared a T-shirt that her cousin gave her with the title “Best Gay. “Cousin. Ever.” which apparently confirmed she was coming out.
Afterwards, she talks on Instagram Live about the decision to announce that she is part of the LGBTQ community.
“In the last 48 hours … 72 hours I have received the most endless love and support,” she said. “I’m really, really, I’m really happy. Now that the world sees this side of my life … it makes me really, really, really happy. I was happy in this country for a moment now, and now that I can share it with the world now, it’s just … it’s great. ‘
