Fresh off of her stint as the T-Rex on The Masked Singer, JoJo Siwa has some other big news to share with the world, she has a boyfriend! And in true Jojo fashion, she had to introduce him in a way that would make her fans laugh and fall even more in love with the energetic performer. Watch the TikTok below that has everyone freaking out.
Jojo, 17, confirmed she is in a relationship with Mark Bontempo as she and her new beau took part in the “Famous” challenge on TikTok where a guy and a girl swap clothes and lip-synch along to the song. Mark wore Jojo’s sparkliest and flashiest outfit along with one of her iconic signature bows in his hair. Mark is the younger brother of popular YouTuber Madison Bontempo. Much like Jojo, Mark is a budding music star who posts several covers to some of the most popular songs today.

Jojo first hinted that she was in a relationship in another TikTok where you put a finger down if a question applies to you. When it came to the question about her being single, she kept her finger up which meant that she has a boyfriend. Mark posted a TikTok reacting to this, and to fans’ surprise, he was laying right next to Jojo in the video. He also used the hashtag #nationalgirlfriendday” on the video.
Back in June, Jojo kept hinting that she had a boyfriend but was keeping it private. In an interview with Seventeen, she said, “I’m really in the public light and the thing is like, I don’t care. That’s a side of my life that I can keep public or I can keep private.” Jojo made it clear that it was Mark’s choice about whether he wanted to reveal his identity to the world. And during an appearance on her mom’s podcast, she had nothing but kind words about Mark calling him “a dream.” The relationship definitely seems like it’s been going well with Jojo saying “Really, truly unreal and I’m so happy.” She finished speaking about Mark saying “He’s amazing and I couldn’t have imagined anyone better.”
Previously, Jojo’s fans speculated that she was dating Elliott Brown. But she denied these rumors by saying that she and Elliot have known each other since they were 8 years old. The football player and The Masked Singer star hung out in Los Angeles, but Jojo maintains that their relationship is a strictly platonic friendship.
It definitely seems like Jojo is super happy with her new bae and we’re definitely looking forward to more fun videos of the couple together in the future.
