After heartbreak comes heartache AND then a bit more sadness, and unfortunately for Jojo Siwa this situation is currently all too familiar.
The YouTube star and her girlfriend, Kylie Prew, recently cut ties with one another after less than a year together.
The couple has been dating long distance since meeting on a cruise ship in 2019, and it was a contributing factor to their breakup.
Luckily for Jojo, her “Dancing with the Stars” dance partner, Jenna Johnson, is helping her keep her chin up and move forward.

The ‘DWTS’ contestant had hinted at trouble in paradise for a few weeks, and lent some new insight into the breakup during Monday evening’s post-show presser.
Jojo (18) gushed about Jenna (27) saying, “She has become my older sister and guided me through so many things. I think one thing specifically that she’s guided me through is finding happiness with myself.”
She continued telling Page Six in addition to other outlets, “One thing that she’s done for me is made me happy with being me.”

Jojo continued, “That’s something that my mom actually said to me yesterday. She said, ‘I just love that you have Jenna in your life, as your friend, as your big sister because she just isn’t trying to change you. She just wants you to be you and be happy and be so secure of you.’ It’s something that I’m forever grateful for.”
Jojo and Jenna made ‘DWTS’ history when it was announced they would be the first-ever same-sex dance partner pairing to take over the ballroom.
The exciting news was announced during a TCA panel with host Tyra Banks and executive produce Andrew Llinares on Thursday, August 26.
“I think it’s cool, i think it breaks a wall that’s never been done before,” Jojo said about being part of Dancing’s first same-sex pairing. “I think it’s really special that I get to share with the world that you can love who you love, but now you can dance with who you want to dance with.”

“Without hesitation, immediately, I was like, ‘It would be so incredible and would mean so much to me, and I think mean so much to people around the world if I partnered with another female,’” she said during the ABC TCA panel. “So right away, there wasn’t a question.”
“There are so many girls that are on the show that I would love to be paired with,” JoJo added. “I think Lindsay [Arnold] is awesome, Jenna [Johnson] is incredible, Britt [Stewart] is amazing. I think if I got one of those three, I would just be so happy.”
