JoJo Siwa, the vibrant 21-year-old star known from Dance Moms, has once again made headlines, this time for an extravagant celebration of her girlfriend, Dakayla Wilson’s, 19th birthday. Speaking at the Gala of the Stars Awards in Beverly Hills on October 9, Siwa revealed her plans for an unforgettable trip to Hawaii, spending a staggering $30,000 to make it happen.
“We’re about to take her on the best birthday extravaganza,” JoJo exclaimed excitedly during her interview with E! News. Despite the hefty price tag, she stressed that it wasn’t about the money. “It’s about the person, the time spent together, and creating unforgettable experiences,” she added.
A Love That Began on the Dance Floor
The couple’s romance has blossomed quickly, after they met on the set of So You Think You Can Dance, where Wilson wowed audiences and placed second. Reflecting on their initial connection, Siwa shared, “She was on the dance floor crushing it while I was just chilling in the judge’s chair. She caught my attention right away.”
The couple made their relationship official in August via Instagram, and soon after, Wilson proudly declared her love for Siwa among their dance peers. “So I have a girlfriend,” Wilson announced, her face lighting up with happiness as their friends cheered. Since then, their relationship has been nothing short of inspiring, with both women vocal about their admiration for each other.
Madly in Love
Despite being together for only a few months, Siwa and Wilson have described their relationship as deep and meaningful. Siwa spoke glowingly of Wilson to E! News, calling her a “very, very special girl” and expressing gratitude for having her in her life. Wilson, meanwhile, praised Siwa’s unwavering dedication and work ethic, qualities she deeply admires.
What stands out to Siwa is Wilson’s personal growth in the short time they’ve been together. “She’s grown so much as a person. The way she opens up, takes deeper breaths, and shifts her perspective on life—it’s beautiful to watch,” said Siwa.
A Birthday to Remember
The Hawaiian trip is just the latest gesture in a relationship marked by love and support. Siwa, who has amassed an impressive net worth of $20 million from her career, has never been shy about treating her loved ones to memorable experiences. However, she made it clear that this birthday celebration was about more than just splurging. “It’s all about the memories we create together. The money is secondary,” she emphasized.
As the couple continues to thrive, it’s evident that they’re cherishing these early moments together, with their love and mutual admiration continuing to grow.
From Dance Moms to Real-Life Romance
Before her relationship with Wilson, Siwa was rumored to have dated Madison Rogue Alvarado, another So You Think You Can Dance alum. Siwa, who rose to fame as a child star on Dance Moms, has since built a multi-million-dollar brand empire. While she has attracted both praise and criticism for her transition from a child-friendly image to a more adult persona, her fans remain eager to see what’s next for the star.
For now, Siwa and Wilson are simply focused on enjoying their time together, with their upcoming Hawaii getaway poised to be another chapter in their blossoming love story.
