JoJo Siwa confirms relationship with boyfriend Mark Bontempo in the most Gen Z way ever

JoJo Siwa has made things official with her new boyfriend after previously teasing fans she had started dating.

The YouTube sensation, 17, confirmed she was now going steady TikTok celebrity Mark Bontempo with a fun new reveal on the short video-sharing platform.

Sharing a video of herself dancing to TikTok track Famous (I’m The One), Siwa revealed her new boyfriend dressed up as her in full sparkly rainbow ensemble with a big fat hair-bow to match.

Siwa captioned the adorable video: “Meet Mark”, with a smiley face.

Bontempo, the younger brother of social media influencer Madison Bontempo, was far more straightforward when it came to announcing his relationship status.

With his own TikTok video posted on National Girlfriend Day, Bontempo shows him watching a previous video of Siwa taking part in a TikTok challenge “put a finger down” that she posted last month.

When it got to the question: “Put a finger down if you’re currently seeing someone”, Bontempo panned the camera down to show him hanging out with Siwa.

The reveal comes after the former Dance Moms star Siwa previously revealed that she was now seeing someone, having met them in May.

“Honestly he's a dream...really, truly unreal and I'm so happy,” she told Seventeen magazine earlier this year.

When asked at the time whether the pair would ever go public, Siwa replied: “I'm really in the public light and the thing is is like, I don't care. That's a side of my life that I can keep public or I can keep private.

“It’s really up to him.”
