JoJo Siwa has confirmed that she has split from girlfriend Kylie Prew, but says her ex is still her ‘best friend’.

The teenagers announced their relationship back in January, shortly after JoJo, 18, came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Ten months on, they have parted ways, but JoJo said that it was a case of ‘right person, wrong time’.

Speaking on Paris Hilton’s podcast This Is Paris, the Dancing With The Stars contestant said: ‘I have yet to talk about this officially, publicly, but we broke up. But she is literally still my best friend. I talked to her yesterday, she just got a new puppy. She’s awesome. She’s having the time of her life, I’m having the time of my life.

‘I’m really lucky that I didn’t lose her completely because, you know, even though relationships end, friendships don’t have to end.’

Saying she didn’t know that their romance was something that could happen, JoJo continued: ‘I was very happy that it can be, because that’s all I wanted. But I’m really happy that I remember all the fun times, all the good times, and nothing bad happened, it just is the definition of a cheesy saying of “right person, wrong time” and I hate cheesy sayings, but they’re true.

The YouTuber said that their young ages and her hectic schedule contributed to the break-up, adding: ‘We’re both so young, she’s 17, I’m 18, and we are literally best friends. And I would take a bullet for her, and I know she would do the same for me. We just — literally, right person, wrong time.’

JoJo had credited Kylie, who she had a long distance relationship with, with encouraging her to publicly come out, and referred to her as an ‘exceptional human’.

While the performer has only just confirmed the break-up, JoJo alluded to the split while discussing how difficult a week of training on Dancing With The Stars was.

She said: ‘What goes on in my personal life every day is something. However, this week was very, very extreme and something that I had never gone through and something that I’ve never felt before. And it’s tough and it’s tricky, but luckily I have really good people in my life. And I’m really lucky that every day this week I got to spend three hours with my best friend in rehearsals and we got to dance.’

JoJo is partnered with Jenna Johnson on the show and is one of the standouts of the seasons, landing two perfect 40s in a row for a Grease-themed foxtrot and an unsettling jazz routine for which she dressed as Pennywise the clown.

However, she ended up in the bottom two this week for her Queen-themed tango, avoiding elimination as wrestler Mike ‘The Miz’ Mizanin went home.
