JoJo Siwa starts 2026 by changing her name

JoJo no more

The musician, dancer and internet personality was one of the most talked about names in 2025 after she started dating former Love Island star Chris Hughes following their appearance on Big Brother.

Now, Siwa has seemingly changed her name after switching the handles on her social media accounts at the start of the year.

The internet star with 46 million TikTok followers changed her accounts names to “Joelle Siwa” instead of JoJo.

Furthermore, people were quick to point out that her boyfriend Chris Hughes has been referring to her as “Joelle” instead of JoJo in a since expired Instagram story.

The 22-year-old’s full name is Joelle Joanie Siwa, but she went by the nickname of JoJo when she first found fame on the reality TV show Dance Moms alongside her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, in 2015.

A number of fans commenting on the clip acknowledged the name change, with one writing: “Joelle feels so authentic, wishing you every happiness in 2026.”

Another follower said: “The name change… Perfect for 2026! Happy New Year.”
