JoJo Siwa emerged after social media users theorized that the star had been “missing” for over a month.
The Dance Moms alum, 21, brushed off the rumors while grabbing coffee in Los Angeles wearing a silly ‘Missing Persons’ t-shirt.
The “missing” person was JoJo herself, wearing the t-shirt that said she was “last seen” on October 8, 2024 along with a photo of her at the Industry Dance Awards.
At the show, which took place on October 8, JoJo appeared on stage and participated in a TikTok trend to thank Beyonce.
While JoJo has posted sporadically on social media since then and even appeared at the All-Star Gala event the next day, fans have been wondering for the past month if she had gone missing.
But JoJo put the rumors to rest when she stepped out earlier this week on Sunday for a cup of Joe.
JoJo Siwa emerged after social media users theorized that the star had been “missing” for over a month.
JoJo paired her silly shirt with a sparkly bucket hat, polka dot pajama pants, and lace-up boots.
Social media users have expressed concern about JoJo’s whereabouts in recent weeks on Twitter.
“Is JoJo still missing or have we found her?” one posted.
‘Is Jojo Siwa still missing?’ asked another.
‘JOJO SIWA IS LACKING WHAT IN THE WORLD,’ one shouted.
One was a little more dismissive of the rumors: “So apparently JoJo Siwa disappeared and/or went into hiding and I still don’t give a damn.”
The outing came just one day before JoJo announced her new song, Iced Coffee.
The star unveiled the song during an appearance at Brown University on Monday and even performed the new song.
The “missing” person was JoJo herself, wearing the t-shirt that said she was “last seen” on October 8, 2024 along with a photo of her at the Industry Dance Awards.
She talked about how her online platform offers her fans a piece of her everyday life.
“This is how I plan my career. “I keep it entertaining because that’s what I was put on this earth for and that’s what I want to do,” she said at the event, according to the Brown Daily Herald.
‘However, it all comes from me. “There’s definitely a more emotional side to me,” he added.
‘I live a great life and I love sharing it. Yes, there’s more, but what you see is what you get.’
Meanwhile, JoJo recently revealed how her dating philosophy has changed over the years and what made her want to start telling people about her relationship with new girlfriend Dakayla Wilson.
Siwa got her start on the hit reality show Dance Moms and later became a viral social media sensation, signing with Nickelodeon in 2017, when she was 14 years old.

In January 2021, when she was 17 years old, she came out as part of the LGBTQ+ community and is now opening up about how she chooses to show her relationships.
‘You know, it’s interesting. My mom always used to tell me, “The whole world doesn’t need to know everything, JoJo. You can keep some things secret,” Siwa said recently during a panel at Rhode Island Comic Con on Friday, according to People.
And at the time, Siwa agreed with her mother, but now she seems to share a different feeling about being a public figure.
“Secrets are hard to keep,” he admitted during the panel, according to the outlet.
‘It’s very difficult to maintain. When you’re so excited about something… I was born to share my life with the world, and I’m okay with that and I enjoy it.’
Social media users have been expressing concern over JoJo’s whereabouts in recent weeks on Twitter.
JoJo made an appearance at the All-Star Gala event the day after her alleged disappearance.
He explained that when he first came out, he was in a “great relationship” with his then-girlfriend Kylie Prew, which ended in a breakup, something she attributes to both of them being young at the time.
However, it was her next relationship that affected how she chose to share her love with the world.
“But after that, I had a public relationship with someone else who wasn’t the best; it seemed like she was the best, but she wasn’t actually the best,” Siwa said.
And then when it was over, it really wasn’t the best. And I was just scared to share relationships publicly.
After that, the Karma singer said she promised herself she would never openly share her romances again.
And it turns out it worked: Siwa revealed during the panel that before dating Wilson, she had two ‘affairs’ and a serious relationship that no one knew about.
However, when she met Wilson, who was runner-up on season 18 of So You Think You Can Dance, everything felt different.
“I was fine with making it public,” the former Dance Moms star told People of her new relationship.
