How Jenna Johnson Is Helping JoJo Siwa Overcome Body Image Struggles (Exclusive) 

Jojo has gotten so much better, jenna has really brought her out of her shell, and I can see a new level of maturity, confidence, and happiness in her. I think she's grown so much from this opportunity, and iam so proud of them for getting the first perfect score of the season, definitely well deserved! Hope to see them in the finals.

All of a sudden JoJo makes so much sense to me. Obviously JoJo never felt comfortable in her skin so she hid and dressed more like a little girl instead of a young woman. Bless her partner for helping her come into herself with such love and confidence 😍 🙌🏼

They couldn't have picked a better partner for Jojo. Jenna is beautiful inside & out.

The perfect body is the one that has a happy woman inside it.

Jojo’s authenticity and honesty about her struggles is so refreshing! i didn’t think i could love her more

She also got bullied for her height for years. That doesn't help her confidence either. I'm so happy she is learning how to love herself. You can't truly love someone else if you don't love yourself.

Jojo looks so good! Makes me sad she didn’t feel good about herself. Love this partnership. Rooting for them!

This was really nice to watch. Having that older mentor for Jojo has helped her so much. Everyone thinks she's so confident in herself as she's always had that certain image but she had her own insecurities.

jenna seems like a sweetheart. having a mentor/big sister is so special💕

I love this partnership. Hope they win.

i love the way jenna looks at jojo so pure and adorable

This is so beautiful, i want to cry. Way to go Jenna, a girl’s girl 🤍

This is the most down to earth I think I’ve ever seen Jojo 😪✋ I went through the same thing baby girl it gets so much better

Jojo you are so well spoken. Being able to express yourself so well at your age is a beautiful thing.

I’m falling more and more in love with Jojo. So inspiring to young girls, good on her for sharing this story ♥️

This makes me tear up. Jojo is such a sweet girl, I’ll always support her. Have since dance moms. I’m out of the age range for her music but would totally go to her concert to support her!

JoJo has been living in the limelight for so long as a child/teen superstar that it's refreshing to see that she's actually down-to-earth. It's also enlightening to hear that she suffers from basic body image issues and insecurities like the rest of us. She might be bigger than life but her heart is even bigger!

Jojo is a really affectionate person so that is why she seems so close to her coach. As a longtime fan of jojo you know she is just a loving bright ball of energy ❤️🌈🌈💖

Jojo is literally a radiating light. Teenage years are awkward and although just a phase, it is a time in life that can imprint in your self-confidence and identity for a lifetime. What an amazing team, so much authenticity, beautiful souls.

Aww so beautiful to have a role model to show Jojo how to feel comfortable. It's so difficult for young women, and Jojo has such a look that do many would die for, it's hard to see her lacking confidence.

Jenna has been the person who JoJo needs to build herself up.

Their Grease dance was stunning, and JoJo is so freaking beautiful. I hope they win.

ODDLY ENOUGH... as fascinating and lovely as it was to see and hear JoJo open herself up in this,... what I appreciated the most was Lauren Zima's interviewing technique. All too often, interviewers seem to be too in love with their own celebrity... they ask questions and make vapid observations instead of keeping it simple and listening to the answers that we fans want to hear. But Lauren sensitively and unsensationally encouraged and coaxed JoJo to be both forthcoming as well as herself, without badgering or offending her. Kudos & Bravo, Lauren. *_R_* 😎

As a girl who has wide shoulders and I’m insecure about my arms, this video just made me love Jojo even more than I already do. I’m so gay for Jojo

I can't with them. Everytime I think I can't like them more they prove me wrong. They are both so sweet and they couldn't have been better matched as partners and even more as friends. They really lift eachother up and that's the best kind of friendship and I think it really shows in their dances. I like some of the other dance pairs but none of their chemistry comes even close to Jenna and Jojos in my opinion.

Dude, the crush Jojo has on jenna its insane. Even Jenna can't control it.

Great partnership. I hope they (and Kenya) get an upbeat dance next week.

I'm a broad shouldered gal as well, and it took time, but a person can learn to find pride where they used to feel shame.

That is so awesome and selfless of Jenna to help JoJo come out of her shell while she transforms into a teenager to a young woman. 😊

JoJo is such a beautiful person in and out! Wow I’m so happy to hear this! I’m 25 and I’ve looked up to her for her positivity and kind soul! You go JOJO!!

What a great interview!Lots of Love to you both!

I never followed her childhood career but seeing her be so talented at dancing and just seeing her light up and talk about real things and grow as a person is really magnetic

I literally love this interview so much jojo has really turned into the teenage inspiration I mean when I was younger like 8-10 jojo was my idol and now she is again now that’s I’m 14

Great job. I love this. I hope she keeps up the good work.

I love how jojo is still a role model for little kids, but is becoming one for herself

I literally cant with JoJo..like girl..you are stunning!!! Seeing how much you have grown is just an amazing thing! Rooting for u girl!!! Hope u win!!!!

how can anyone hate jojo? she is such a genuine soul I'm a huge Stan even at 24 lol. I love seeing this side of her

I never understood Jojo until now and it has been SO beautiful to watch her blossom into an incredible adult and a POWERFUL woman stepping a little bit away from the childhood star version of Jojo.

You know what, I respect this. Good for her, I'm proud of Jojo, maturity is so pure!

This is BEAUTIFUL 💕

This is amazing I’m so proud of her

She came so far in her life! Proud of her 💗✨🎶

This is the sweetest 💗

I’m so proud of the woman Jojo is becoming. ❤️

My fiancé is former professional dancer. He was dancing for 25+ years and I showed him Jojo and usually with these tv competitions he is kind of reserved but he said she is really good even asked if she is profesional and loved their freestyle.

Jojo is so beautiful and I never imagined she would ever be insecure. 💗 I hope her confidence continues to grow because she is a STAR!

Im so happy she is happy. I love this JoJo

The way Jojo grow make me believe I can still grow at 19. Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Jojo is honestly incredible! What an amazing person 🥰🥰

JoJo is beautiful. Sadly No one at 18 knows that about themselves…

I think the dance moms criticism has long term effects on these people…..

I love the transformation!

They are such wholesome best friends 💗 🤧

I am so proud of JoJo !! She’s so beautiful & has came along ways. And Jenna is an amazing person and worked with helping JoJo thru all of it. They are such wonderful dancers!! 💜💜 I like the new JoJo! She’s amazing. She’s so much happier now. 💖

So much love to Jenna for taking care of our precious JoJo ❤️

I am loving the growth in Jojo.

they are adorable together ~ go for it girls !

Jojo is so well spoken

Wow good job Jo Jo girl love what u do keep it up

17. I was no where near that maturity level at 17. She's a gem.

Jojo is adorable. I love seeing her come into her own.

I hope Jenn's guidance is as right on as it sounds bc Jojo is so whipped to you. Jojo will be a huge warrior for woman bc she seems to be able to hear truth and get behind it. Don't let the neg get you down. Once you see it's bullshit, the easier to bypass it and go great

This pairing is insane. I really hope they win.

Jennas the perfect partner for jojo These dwts pairing always change one or both of their lives I also low-key ship them hehe

JoJo and Jenna for the win all the way!!! Rooting for them. Love them so much!!

Love her honesty. :) :)

Jojo looks awesome 💪

Very elegant dancing skills yall are doing great

So proud of you Jojo .

I love Jojo on the show!

Jojo looks like she's in love with Jenna

Jojo has just totally inspired and shocked and all the things! She’s amazing and so beautiful and I love that she’s being more confident, sassy, sexy, and just everything! When my daughter watches her; I want my daughter to felt that; heck im 32 and want to feel that so jojo you have inspired me! I was even thinking tonight specifically as IT you just were by far the best dancer on that floor, contestant and over the even instructors!! You were amazing, you confidently sold a story, from the book, (I liked that), and you just are one talented girl my friend! And I absolutely love you girls dancing together!!!! It’s such power💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼!! And my daughter seeing that and me not saying one word about it; just shows her and girls all around the world that you can dance with who you want to dance with, you can be friends with whom ever you want to, and you can love whoever, and be whoever you want! Go jojo!!! Your just queen upon queen & I know your parents are just so proud of you! And tonight really blew me away!! 🙏🏼💗 win this show; you absolutely deserve it!

Sad she had struggles yet she was giving out alot of confidence to others, that's to Jenn dancing with stars is helping her soo much than just to win proud of her, she was always picked on with her weight and looks but look how amazing she's stunning younger lady

Jojo has a beautifully bright spirit

She’s so naturally pretty

jojo gets prettier everytime i see her?? she looks so beautiful in this interview

Jojo was always a great dancer

They are great partners. Jojo is beautiful and It’s sad that shes have no confidence,but I wish her the best and be strong,she deserve it.

You have incredibly Stunning beauty! your big Sister ( Jenna) is right TRUST HER!!!

Wow i look at her and she is perfect! So positive and confident.... I had no idea she was so unconfortable with her body. Chloe from dance moms had an eating disorders. I feel like Abby 's costant criticism had a lot to do with so much insecurity!

I’m telling you now, after this Jojo is going be looking different once she finish DWTS. I mean if you look at past contestants who were around her age at the time they did it, then flash forward later they look different.

First of all JoJo, you can win this season! JoJo YOU ARE STUNNING, SO BEAUTIFUL & YOU HAVE A GORGEOUS BODY TO WEAR ALL THAT REVEALING CLOTHES!! I never would've thought that you had a body image problem - NOT EVER! Because you have the body & beautiful looks to be confident in your own skin!! Listen to your partner!! You're so lucky that you have a dance partner to tell you this; to have you look in a mirror and start seeing yourself in a different light! Girl now you have more confidence in yourself and in your dancing than ever - which by the way, you're a very good dancer and it's good that your partner pushes you a little further each time because she sees the potential in you!! YOU CAN DO IT JOJO!! YOU CAN WIN THIS COMPETITION ALL THE WAY TILL THE MIRROR BALL TROPHY!! 🏆

Not gonna lie jojo be looking gooooood!

She’s so gorgeous. She’s grown so much

no bc I literally SCREAMED YESSS JOJO OUT LOUD

We must remember Jojo is just 18

Shes literally so iconic shes only going up from here.

They would make a cute couple

Congratulations Jojo, I'm glad that you trusted Jenna, you're beautiful!

I LOVE JOJO 💗

all i know is as i watch Jojo and Jenna perform, im just like, ".....woah, hot :0" so hearing Jojo say these things about herself, honestly, I relate to her when it comes to feeling that way about your body. I always preferred baggy clothes and pants over skirts, fitted shirts, and tank tops. She has grown so much! An amazing dancer. I still think she should have won the competition. :(

i adore jojo

Jojo is 🔥🔥🔥

I love Jojo siwa and Jenna is such an amazing soul

She is growing up and embracing it

You go JoJo

Glamorous Jojo Siwa

Jojo is sooooo beautiful !!!! So happy for her I’m so proud of her, she is so humble and yet so damn famous, such an innocence to her way, she is blossoming into such a beautiful strong young women!

JoJo really is a very beautiful girl.... Love this so much for her... She's coming into her own as an adult I just love it

JJ is helping JoJo
