“Dance Moms’ Cast Members Share Thoughts on Maddie & Nia Missing Reunion”
JoJo with a Bow Bow made a significant impact despite only appearing in two seasons of the original series, following her time on Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition. She gained a massive YouTube following, secured an exclusive licensing deal with Nickelodeon, created endless branded merchandise, and earned a spot on Time‘s list of the 100 most influential people in 2020.
Reflecting on her experience on Dance Moms, she once shared with Kelly Ripa, “One of the biggest things that I ever learned was either to sink or swim. Not literally in a swimming pool, but to truly survive and strive for what I want.”
Nowadays, she socializes with celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian and has achieved a significant milestone by partnering with Jenna Johnson to be the first same-sex couple to compete on the U.S. version of Dancing With the Stars in 2021.
Looking ahead, JoJo harbors aspirations for an even greater stage, expressing to Raven-Symoné and wife Miranda Pearman-Maday, “My ultimate dream is to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.” She humorously added on an episode of The Best Podcast Ever in August, “Once I achieve that, I will retire and start a family.”
