JoJo Siwa appeared on 4D with Demi Lovato on Wednesday to discuss everything from the YouTube star's decision to come out earlier this year to her recent choice to ditch her signature bows. While there, JoJo also opened up to Demi about what lead to her sexual awakening, specifically, her "gay awakening."
"I've been figuring out my 'gay awakenings' recently," JoJo said during the interview. "I think I realized that my very first gay awakening was Jenna Dewan's performance on Lip Sync Battle." Back in 2018, the dancer appeared on the lip syncing show and recreated Channing Tatum's performance of "Pony" in Magic Mike.
JoJo then revealed that her other gay awakening involved Demi. "Do you remember you dancer?" JoJo asked Demi. "Her name is JoJo Gomez and you did 'Cool For the Summer' together. I remember seeing that and just being a little too interested."
But JoJo isn't the only one to have a gay awakening involving Demi. "Yesterday, I was talking to my girlfriend, Kylie, about our gay awakenings and she said she went to your concert and...she would have probably had to have been 12 maybe 13 and she was there with her mom," JoJo said.
While talking to Demi, JoJo also opened up about her decision to come out, saying she always knew she was gay, but she was waiting until she had a relationship she wanted to share with the world. "I was like, 'I'll wait until I actually have a girlfriend or I have a girl that I'm in love with and I'll do something with it.' And that happened," she said.
Of course, now, JoJo can't stop showing off Kylie. The pair just celebrated their six-month anniversary together and it seems like there's no slowing down for these two.
