It’s official. Pop star, influencer, and “Dancing With the Stars” alum JoJo Siwa and her girlfriend, Avery Cyrus, have called it quits just a few months after originally confirming their breakup.
In a TikTok video posted by Cyrus on Saturday, December 17, 2022, Siwa hands her a present and says, “That’s my sorry for breaking up with you present.”
In the comments, Cyrus confirmed the split and revealed the reason why the two influencers decided to call it quits when fans asked why they decided to break up.
“We decided that we are better off as friends!” she wrote. “We are both so young and still just trying to figure our stuff out.”
Siwa wrote on her Instagram Stories that the trip was still the “best trip of my entire life.”
The Couple Went Public on TikTok in August
The couple first sparked rumors of a romantic connection when they went viral on TikTok mouthing the words to a voiceover featuring the voices of Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian.
“We’re friends,” Siwa lip-synced in the video. Cyrus then lip-synced, “purely platonic,” and they both laughed.
In October 2022, Cyrus officially confirmed the romance in a YouTube video and Siwa confirmed it in an Instagram post.
“We’re girlfriends now,” Cyrus said in the video. “I’m so happy you said yes. I knew you weren’t gonna say no, I was just nervous.”
Siwa replied, “I’d be insane if I said no, you’re the best girlfriend in the world.”
Siwa posted a video on November 3 confirming the couple’s one-month anniversary was celebrated with a picnic on the beach.
