JoJo Siwa's dating history: Dancer 'single' as girlfriend Katie Mills apologizes for past tweets

JoJo Siwa has dated a few people in the past and was seen with Katie Mills at the Los Angeles Lakers game a few days ago

JoJo Siwa, whose real name is Joelle Joanie ‘JoJo’ Siwa, has reportedly broken up with her rumored girlfriend Katie Mills after the latter’s past controversial statements resurfaced. While Mills has apologized for anti-LGBTQ+ and pro-Trump comments, it seems all is not well between her and Siwa.

In a recent TikTok video, which was apparently the last duet of 2021, Siwa shared that she’s “SINGLEEEEE”, around a week after she and Mills were seen at the Los Angeles Lakers game. Though there is no official confirmation from the 18-year-old dancer, speculations have been made after old tweets of Mills resurfaced in several TikTok videos. One TikTok video reportedly showed Mills had retweeted a post in November 2020 which read: “I’m sorry @realDonaldTrump we let you down”.

Another TikTok video revealed Mills’ alleged tweets — one of them read, “lord help us if Biden gets elected” and another one said that Trump was the winner in 2016 “because he is not a politician” and dubbed him as “a fighter for the American people”. She also apparently liked a post from 2018 that questioned if trans women are “actually women” and was once slammed for culture appropriation as she donned cornrows as a Kendrick Lamar costume.

Mills took to social media to clarify things in a series of tweets. She wrote, “Pt1. This will be the only time I address this issue. There is stuff that Trump did that I DO support, and there is stuff that I DID NOT support. It’s the same way for Biden. There’s stuff that he does that I DO support and there’s stuff that I DON’T support. Some of my bestest and most dearest friends are of different races and color. I don’t view them any differently. I love them for who they are and always will. At the beginning of 2020 I participated in the ghetto girl Tik Tok trend that was going around.”

She continued, “Pt 3. I was young and dumb and didn’t realize how offensive that was. If I could I would take that back in a heart beat! But I can’t, I messed up. I take full responsibility for that. Pt 4. In 2018 there was a tweet that went around saying “Is a transgender woman actually a woman? retweet for yes, like for no” I had liked the comment… I am ashamed. I have known I was gay since I was 11 years old. Pt 5 I have known I was gay since I was 11 years old. Growing up in Utah and apart of the LDS religion was difficult. You’re taught marriage is ONLY between a man and woman. So when my family found out about me at 13, it was mental and emotionally hard.”

“Pt 6. My parents tried to hide who I was, sent me to conversion therapy, and made me shun out the LGBTQ+ community. I grew up being told by church leaders and bishops that being gay was a mental illness and that there was something wrong with me. Pt 7. I know it’s not an excuse for that awful tweet I liked, but it’s the only reason I can think of to why I would ever do that. I was young, dumb, not educated, and trying so hard to shun out the LGBTQ+ community in my life,” Mills said before adding: “Pt 8. One of my best friends from high school is trans and I love him with my WHOLE heart. I had made a mistake and now i’m suffering the consequences. I would like to apologize to all of those who I have hurt and offended! Pt 9. I apologize for my actions and to those who I have hurt! I hope everyone has a happy new years!”
