JoJo Siwa has been riding a wave of high-scoring performances on Season 30 of Dancing with the Stars, but her love life is reportedly facing a major hardship. After officially dating for nine months, Siwa and Kylie Prew “split weeks ago,” a source told E! News on Oct. 25.
“JoJo is focusing on the competition and giving her all,” another insider recently told Us Weekly. “While it’s a rough time for her, she’s handling DWTS very professionally and still putting on a smile and giving 100 percent. She doesn’t want to let down her fans.”

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.”
Alongside a clip from the show’s Grease Night episode posted to her account on Oct. 19, Siwa expressed appreciation to her partner Jenna Johnson for “not only being the best mentor/pro … but also being the best friend.” Potentially alluding to the breakup, she continued, “I’ve …….
