JoJo Siwa's in a new relationship!

On Wednesday, Aug. 14, the former Dance Moms star, 21, hard-launched her romance with So You Think You Can Dance alum Dakayla Wilson, sharing a video of the two hugged-up on her Instagram Stories.

During what looks like a studio dance class, Wilson dances around in front of a mirror before she pauses to tell the crowded room, "So I have a girlfriend." The group erupts with cheers as the couple bear hug and scream with excitement, too.

"Cats outta the bag 😺," Siwa captioned the video with Wilson tagged. The latter resposted the clip on her own page and wrote, "surprise shawtyyyyy 😽."

In another Instagram Story, Siwa reposted a fan page post featuring side-by-side screenshots of her and Wilson hugging. The caption reads, "💕I’m happy for them and I’m glad that they're happy being with each other🥹 @itsjojosiwa."

After their hard launch, Siwa shared a photo of her and Wilson outside holding hands, captioned, "Perfect day 🖤." The dancer's girlfriend also reposted the snap and wrote on her Instagram Story, "literally the most perfect day 🖤."

It's unclear how long Siwa and Wilson have been dating. However, the former confirmed on social media that they spent the past weekend together for a dance class Wilson was teaching.

"Girlfriend taught a dance class so i took a weekend off of being JoJo Siwa and became her All Star Assistant," she captioned a TikTok video of her dancing. "❤️‍🔥 @DAKAYLA WILSON broke my body in half for this but WORTH IT."

Siwa last dated TikTok star Avery Cyrus, with whom she broke up in December 2022 after three months of dating. The "Guilty Pleasure" singer announced their split in a TikTok post, saying to her ex, "This is my sorry for breaking up with you present," while holding a package of Silly Putty.

In the comments section, Siwa explained that the two parted ways because "we decided that we are better off as friends!" She added, "We are both so young and still just trying to figure our stuff out."

Meanwhile, Wilson earlier this year sparked "showmance" rumors with her SYTYCD season 18 castmate Anthony Curley, though nothing seemed to manifest after the season ended.

Back in March, Siwa briefly opened up about her dating life to PEOPLE when asked about her current relationship status. "Actually, I'm sure you wouldn't like to know, but I'm sure you would like to know," the performer quipped, adding, "I got a good word for it — messy. I’m messy."

Before then, in November 2023, Siwa told PEOPLE she was ready to heed the advice of her Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test costars Tyler Cameron and Nick Viall, as the latter told her, "I can be an idiot with love until I’m 21, so I’ve got six more months."

Speaking on dating while juggling a jam-packed work schedule, the "Karma" singer noted, "I’m a lover. I crave that. But it’s good, because I know when I’m in a relationship, I prioritize it, and sometimes a little too much and I cut out friends, cut out family, cut out career, and I only focus on relationships,"
