Here's Why JoJo Siwa Changed Her Name
"I've gotten more comfortable with the idea of Joelle, and my boyfriend calls me Joelle. My family doesn't call me Joelle. My friends call me JoJo, but Jenna Johnson from Dancing with the Stars calls me Joelle, so it's kinda been a mix in my life. But now, I feel like Joelle more so now than ever."
"I think Joelle's, like, the happy version of JoJo, and I feel like JoJo is the crazier version of Joelle. That's a great question. I don't know. I'm still meeting her myself."
JoJo Siwa has undergone a significant personal rebrand in recent years, including a style transformation from her colorful Nickelodeon aesthetic to a more mature look. In December, she updated her social media to go by her real name, Joelle, though she indicated fans can use either name. In an interview on E! News: The Rundown, JoJo explained the change was spontaneous and driven by increased comfort with her real name. Her boyfriend Chris Hughes and some friends call her Joelle, while others still use JoJo. She describes Joelle as the happier version of herself and acknowledges she is still discovering who Joelle truly is as she continues her personal journey.
