YouTube and TikTok star and generally sparkly entity JoJo Siwa has seemingly confirmed recent speculation about her sexuality, taking to social media to share a photo of herself in a shirt that reads ‘Best Gay Cousin Ever’.
Earlier this week, Siwa’s name began trending after she appeared in several TikTok videos that suggested she was making some kind of coming out announcement. The first of these saw her lip syncing to Lady Gaga‘s Born This Way while wearing a rainbow-coloured bow.
A later video saw her dancing with several stars of the Disney Channel’s Teen Beach Movie, along with the hashtag #pridehousela. In it, she was seen lip syncing the line “baby now you’re one of us”, from the Paramore song Ain’t It Fun.

The videos inspired a good deal of speculation among JoJo Siwa fans, but many said that others should refrain from labelling her sexuality until she had done so herself. She now seems to have done that with her Twitter post, and fans are over the moon about it:
