JoJo, 22, publicly came out as pansexual during her teenage years but later identified as a lesbian. Recently, she has embraced the label of queer and is currently dating Chris, 32, whom she met on the Big Brother show in April.
The singer revealed that she has faced criticism from some members of the LGBTQ+ community who now perceive her as straight due to her relationship with Chris. Addressing the issue on a radio show, JoJo emphasized that being in a heterosexual relationship does not negate her identity, stating that she remains an ally regardless of her current partnership.

Discussing her deep connection with Chris, JoJo expressed that she has never experienced a love like hers before, describing it as the best thing that has ever happened to her.
In a recent podcast episode, JoJo shared her thoughts on her sexuality and the reactions to her current relationship, highlighting the challenges she has faced with her family’s acceptance of her choices. She emphasized the inclusivity of the LGBTQIA+ community and the significance of love transcending labels.
When asked about how she defines herself now, JoJo expressed her happiness and identified as queer, recognizing the fluidity and flexibility of the term. She emphasized that being in a heterosexual relationship does not erase her past experiences or her identity within the queer community.
JoJo emphasized that she no longer fixates on labeling herself, emphasizing the exhausting nature of trying to conform to societal expectations. She advocated for embracing one’s true self and finding happiness in authentic relationships.
