The pair first met when Siwa served as a judge on Wilson's season of 'So You Think You Can Dance', where Wilson finished in second place. A month later, Siwa opened up about her decision to make their relationship public, explaining to People that they had initially planned to keep it private but ultimately changed their stance.
She shared, "Honestly I've been very open about not wanting to be public. And so when we kind of got together, it was just — it was literally one day where she was teaching a dance class and the girls in the class and the boys in the class were like, kind of looking at us. Then one was like, 'Why are you here, JoJo?' And finally I just came up to her and I was like, 'Yeah, why am I here?'"
Siwa continued, "And I gave her [Wilson] the look like, 'It's okay, you can say,' and then they were videoing that, and so we were like, 'You know what? It's public."
