AceShowbiz - JoJo Siwa and her new girlfriend, Dakayla Wilson, recently made a public appearance at the premiere of Hulu's "Child Star," directed by Demi Lovato. This event marked a significant shift for the couple, who had previously chosen to keep their relationship under wraps.

Siwa, 21, and Wilson shared their reasons for going public during an interview with PEOPLE. "Honestly, I've been very open about not wanting to be public," Siwa stated. "And so when we kind of got together, it was just - it was literally one day where she was teaching a dance class and the girls in the class and the boys in the class were like, kind of looking at us."

"Then one was like, 'Why are you here, JoJo?' And finally, I just came up to her and I was like, 'Yeah, why am I here?' " she continued, "And I gave her [Wilson] the look like, 'It's okay, you can say,' and then they were videoing that, and so we were like, 'You know what? It's public.' "

Dakayla Wilson added, "Things change," acknowledging the shift in their decision to be open about their relationship. This moment captured in a video posted on Siwa's Instagram Stories marked the couple's official outing on August 14, where Wilson announced, "So I have a girlfriend," while dancing in front of a mirror during a dance class.

JoJo Siwa, who has been candid about various aspects of her life, has also been open about her dreams of motherhood and how her girlfriend is supportive of that vision.

"She is on board. Obviously, we're both very young, and she's even younger than I am - she's just about to turn 19," Siwa told Us Weekly. "I always bring up the Freddie, Eddie, and Teddie conversation right away in a relationship."

Siwa recalled, "When I soft-launched the conversation about kids, Wilson had a promising reaction. She was always like, 'Oh, yeah, kids are going to be so fun to have.' That was when we were first talking, and now obviously that we're more serious, it is definitely a more serious conversation."

Siwa added, "I'm like, 'We'll get married and then we'll visit that.' " Their mutual understanding and enthusiasm about starting a family in the future show a deep connection between the two, despite their young age.

As Siwa and Wilson embrace their relationship publicly and discuss future dreams, they continue to inspire their fans and admirers. This young couple is not only navigating the challenges of love in the limelight but also planning a future filled with shared hopes and ambitions.
