JoJo Siwa's name change

JoJo Siwa's name change

JoJo Siwa has changed her name.

The 22-year-old musician, dancer and social media star has taken to TikTok to replace her moniker with her real name Joelle Siwa.

Fans have also noticed that JoJo’s boyfriend Chris Hughes, 33, has taken to calling her by her real name rather than her nickname JoJo.

Meanwhile, JoJo and Chris started dating last year after meeting while filming Celebrity Big Brother in the UK and she has vowed to propose to him if he hasn’t popped the question in seven years.

Chris told The Sun’s Fabulous magazine: “You always get people who get engaged at Christmas. I see it on Instagram every year. I like the idea of it not being at a time where it could be expected.”

JoJo said: “When he asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I said ‘a ring’. And he said ‘really?’ I replied ‘a Ring doorbell’. But what if I got him a ring?”

However, Chris replied: “You can’t. I don’t think you should propose. I don’t agree.

“I’ve spoken to people about this before. And I actually said ‘I think if I was proposed to that would make me really uncomfortable’.”

She said: “I wouldn’t do it unless you waited seven years. And then I’d be like ‘alright, I’m getting down on one knee then’. If you waited that long, I’d be like ‘ok’.”

Chris said: “That’s fair. It shouldn’t take you seven years to work out if you want to marry someone. So you can go off that and then that won’t ever happen.”

JoJo teased him: “Just so you know, May 27th 2032, I will be down on one knee. I will not wait one extra day.”

Although the pair were believed to have started dating in June, JoJo confirmed they actually secretly got together the month before.
