- JoJo Siwa, 19, detailed her coming out story as part of a viral TikTok trend Wednesday.
- Siwa said she realized she was gay after watching Jenna Dewan's "Magic Mike" performance on "Lip Sync Battle."
- Dewan, 41, reacted to Siwa's TikTok in a separate video on Friday.
"Dance Moms" and pop star JoJo Siwa reflected on her "gay awakening" in a viral TikTok on Wednesday.
Siwa hoped on a popular TikTok trend where users share detailed stories over the beat to rapper Nicki Minaj's latest single, "Super Freaky Girl." In the video, which as of Sunday has almost 1 million likes, Siwa said that singer Demi Lovato and actress Jenna Dewan helped her come to the realization.
The 19-year-old said as a kid she enjoyed watching Jenna Dewan's 2018 "Lip Sync Battle" appearance, where Dewan recreated her ex-husband Channing Tatum's dance that he famously performed in the blockbuster "Magic Mike."
"She did a really great 'Magic Mike' number, I pretty much watched it every day," Siwa said. "Little me, well, she didn't know she was gay."
Dewan responded Friday to Siwa's TikTok and reacted in real-time. When the actress hears her name, she laughs shyly and covers her face.
"Jojo I have never been more honored...!!" the "Step Up" actress captioned the video, including kissing face and rainbow emojis. The comment section lit up, agreeing with Siwa.
"It was hotter than the entire Magic Mike franchise," one user wrote. Another wrote, "Pretty sure that moment made every girl question her sexuality."
In the video, Siwa reflected on her adoration for Demi Lovato's song "Cruel for the Summer" and voiced that she listened to it on repeat.
"I didn't know what it meant back then but now that I'm much older and I understand, I know what it meant," Siwa said.
Siwa also shared that she once went on a date with a man and immediately knew "men are not my thing" when she realized her date wanted sex.
The child star announced she was a member of the LGBTQ community in January 2021 on TikTok and Twitter.
