You're listening to joj Just Sewa now with me Jojo Seua and iHeartRadio Podcast. Welcome back to JoJo's Sea Now everybody. Oh boy, what a life I have lived in the last honestly twenty twenty four, honestly twenty one years. I don't get how I'm like deep into my twenty one. It's like I feel like, I mean, okay, I'm being dramatic. It is August, it is September. That's the era we're in right now. But I feel like I turned twenty one literally yesterday, not three months ago. Like, I feel
like that's a little criminal. How where did June go? Nice to meet you, June. What about July? I forgot about her? It's so wild. In the beginning of this year, me and my best friend Tyler were like, just make it to May. That is all we kept saying, like, get through January, get the February, March, April, just make it to May. All of a sudden, it was June first, and we were like, oh what happened to make it to May? We made it to be and all of a sudden May is just over done, gone and she
has passed. And now we are gotta we gotta make it to May twenty twenty five. Maybe that's what that's what we met. Anyways, my life in the last few weeks has gotten so much better than ever before. There's been lots of updates. There's been a cat that has jumped out of a bag and ran so far away that the cat is no longer in the bag anymore. That's a joke that my girlfriend and I have. There's the big old G word that everyone's been interested in recently.
And uh yeah, long story short. I have a sweet, sweet, amazing, incredible girlfriend who I am so happy and she is so happy and we are so happy, and it's interesting I and her and I have had this conversation of wanting in the beginning, you know, of the initial conversation is always, let's keep things private and not post everything
and share everything and have it be private. And that always was me and the driver's seat of that conversation with everybody in my life because of my past and you know, having public relationships and then being like, absolutely not, that's not happening anymore. And so that's kind of where I've been for the last two years, has been nineteen and twenty but then now, once I started dating her her name is Takayla, it's something in my brain like
fully shifted. And she was kind of in the same position of me where she was like, yeah, no, no, like not everyone needs to know, like it's chilling. But then slowly and naturally both of us were kind of like, you know what, like I kind of want people to know, like it feels really special, and it feels really good, and it feels really sweet, and you're and wholesome, and so it's it's a fun, fun thing to get to share. And so that's why I was like, you know what,
it doesn't matter. Kat is out of the bag. All of our close friends have known obviously, and then it's like the extension of friends have known, and then the extension of those friends have known, and like word was basically out. And then I started to travel around with her for a little bit to help her with her dance class. She's an incredible dance teacher, and so she's been teaching around and I've been her all star assistant
is what we call me. And so then all the kids in the room knew, and so I was like, you know what, screw it, Just I like subliminally posted, and then she subliminally commented, and then I just like fully outed us on TikTok caption a post like went to my girlfriend's dance class, and believe it or not, it was one of the best things that I've ever done. It was scary, and I was definitely definitely scared of making another relationship public because I haven't had one a
very public relationship in a very long time. Obviously, people have had their speculations, paparazzi has seen things, but I haven't been open about a relationship in a very long time two years now, and I think that was for the better because now I think this is special, and I think the world on a big scale understands that this is more special. And I for sure do and she for sure does, and that's all that matters to me. It doesn't really matter what the world thinks or the
approval that the world has. It matters that first and foremost, she's happy, and if she's happy, I'm happy and we're good, and that is all that matters. So that's my major life update. I have a couple of career fun life updates. I got to ask you this TV show that I'm really excited about. We started my docuseries, which has been
so much fun. Obviously, new music. We have this song that I tease a little bit on TikTok by posting a part of the ad libs where it's basically just me saying looking over and over and over, and obviously that doesn't make sense right now, but it eventually will, so stick with me. There. I'm back on Snapchat now,
which has been a lot of fun. It's been something that I've been waiting to really fully commit myself to, but I feel like now I'm in a place where it's like a really fun commitment for me to make, and so committed to Snapchat again, posting every day one hundred plus things a day. So go check me out over there at It's Jodah see what. But now, enough about all of that, Let's jump into today's podcast. This is Jojosa now, where I am going to be answering
five fan questions. Now I've looked around, y'all have asked me things, and today it's time to answer what you want to know. I always talk about things that I want to talk about on here, but today I want to talk about what you want to talk about. So let's freaking get into it. First question, we are just going to start off very very strong. Will you bring your girlfriend on the pod? Honestly, I probably would. I wonder Let's see. Oh, please stick with me here, everybody,
Let's see if she would commit to it. Let's find out. This will be fun, this will be a fun thing. She might still be Oh she is still here, but we'll call her. Let's see. Hello. Question for you, okay, will you be on my podcast? Yeah? Of course? All right, there you have it, everybody. Well, I'm doing fan questions today and the first fan question was will your girlfriend be on your podcast? And so I said, I said, I mean I would, I actually would have her on
my podcast. So I was that was my formal offer. Oh I love it of course that anything for you? All right, sounds good. Thank you, go catch you anything, all right? I love you, be safe, I love you. Go bye bye. All right, there you have a troops. She she will partake in a jojesue now, so stay tune. Oh my gosh, wait, that'll be so cute. That would be so fun to have her on the podcast. All right, I'll do it, I'll do it. I'll come it all. She she'll be out here next month, so I will,
I will get her over here. We'll get her to be on Jojesua now and stay tuned. All right, what is the scariest thing you have done in your career but has helped you oh as a person? That question is from Andy. Also, our first question was from Simo. Sime s io m y siu SiO me sao me like that's right anyways, second question is from Andy. Scariest thing that I've done in my career but it's helped me go as a person. I mean, obviously it's gonna
be special Forces. Special Forces was putting me into the scariest elements of literal all time, and it was very, of course intimidating, but I loved it, no complaints. Besides all the injuries that I had. I came home with burn on my hand obviously, just torn up skin, insane bruises, sore for days, a little bit of a starter in an eating situation. But we all, we fixed it all. We're good now, we're happy, we're thriving. But yeah, I would say Special Forces scariest thing I've done for my career.
A lot of people think that coming out was a scary thing for my career, but it was I mean, it was more scary for me to like tell my parents that it was the world. I don't know, I feel like that's a very natural thing. My parents are very loving and accepting, so it was so easy. But I don't know, I don't think a lot of things are scary. I was really scared when I was on Dance Moms, and I told myself after the show, I was like, you know what, I missed out on so
much fun because I was so scared. Screw being scared. I'm done with that, tapping out. No more being scared. Absolutely not. All right, there's a lot of questions. Next one that I want to answer is what is it like for me to go out in public? That is from Darlene. It's so wild. So I was just actually I was in disney Then I'm gonna tell a little story and then I'll just go into just more overall details about what it's like for me in public. It's it's amazing. It's hard, but it's a lot of fun.
And anyways, let me tell this specific story. So I was in Disneyland recently with one of my best friends, ge Flip and then their wife, Krishelle. And Krishelle is on Real Awesome Human Being, she is on Selling Sunset. She's in a lot of acting movies, TV shows anyways, So a lot of people, a lot of people know both of them. A lot of people know Flip obviously from their music, and a lot of people know Koshelle because of selling Sunset. Anyways, a lot of people would
recognize me, Koshelle or Flip. It wasn't necessarily all three of us being recognized at once, right, and Flips people would come up to them and be like they're like like mask lesbian vibe and come up to them and be like, Yo, you're really cool dude, like kind of like we're homies type of vibe. Right, and then Koshelle's people, Korshelle's fans would come up to her and be like, hey, we like we don't want to bug you or draw attention, like we know you, we love you. Like they're like
scared to even like speak above a level two. My fans are like jo y'all, sa wah, we love you from across Disneyland like the Screamers. Me and Krishelle were dying laughing because it was like people were so quiet to her and then so loud to me, And I think, I think that's a result of the energy that I put out there and the energy that I give. People give that right back to me, which I freaking love in a door, but going out in public with me, it's not. I think a lot of times people think
that it's dreadful, and it's not at all. It just is a little more complicated. There's certain things, and I think where I'm really lucky is I have just grown up slowly gaining said fame or said attention, and so now that I'm older, I'm kind of used to it. But I I know how to go to target properly, right, I can go to target. But it's just like, let me go and like know what I'm getting, not lollygag around. Let me go and let me wear a certain thing or let me park in a certain space, you know
what I mean. I can't give away all my secrets. But it's kind of just like as long as I have certain things that I do, certain practices I guess in places when I go out, which are second nature to me. And a thing is is like if I go out with other people, and other people are annoyed that I'm getting stopped or annoyed that people are coming
out to me. That gets really hard for me because obviously that's my life and I don't want to change that, nor can I change that, and so that gets tough because I'm like, ah, like, I love that, but I also love you and I want to hang out with you, but you're annoyed by that, and so try to only surround myself with people who are good with that. But yeah, no, it's not. It's not dreadful at all to go out. I really enjoy it. I like to go places alone.
I think that's because when I was younger, I didn't have much independence, and so I love I love to go places alone. Just do my thing, lollygag around and go quick. I'm on a speed mission always. I will say. The one place that I find very hard to go is to malls. And it's not for the reason you
would expect. Obviously, malls. I get a little bit overwhelmed with fans because it is that age, right, it is the teenager age, and so it's very It's almost as if everybody in there is looking or staring, but a little bit of a deep, dark story is when I was little, I was only five years old, but I was in the Vondmar shooting in Omaha, Nebraska, and that was in a mall, and that was a very bad, so sad, tragic mass shooting. And my mom and I
were at the mall. We were actually in vond Mar, and we are very very lucky that nothing happened to us because long story short, my mom wanted to buy a skirt for me, and then as she walked up to the cash register, she's walking up to the Children's department cash register, she realized that it didn't have sequence on the back, so she put it back, and as we're putting it back, that's when gunshots went off and
she scowed me up. We ran out of the building, but the gunman went to the Children's department cash register. And so thank god there was no sequence on the back of that skirt, because life would be very very different now if there was, And so very happy that Vonmar did not put sequence on the back of that skirt. Lesson to be learned here. Something doesn't have sequence all
the way around. It's not the one for you. And so for me when I go in malls, I'm good as long as we're like on a mission, go and get your thing and get out. But if we kind of are just like walking around, I'll get very antsy and very anxious. And it's dramatic, but it's it's a weird thing. Obviously I don't remember it because I was five, but your body does have a way of being like ah, danger, which blows my mind. It's kind of crazy. But yeah, I love going out. I love people's reactions. I love
when people don't think that I can see them. That also makes me so happy. Like all I see everything, I hear everything. I can hear from all angles. I'll be with people and like Jojo, someone's behind you taking a video. I'm like, I know, like I knew ten minutes ago, you know what I mean. Like I can see them coming, I can see them when they see me, Like I'm very very aware. But we were just at
Dutch Bros. And we pull away and the workers were playing it all cool and then I drive off and my windows still down and you just hear scream scream with excitement. It was the cutest freaking thing literally ever. All right, next question is from Frankie. Will you do more dancing shows? I would freaking love to I say all the time to the producer of Dancing with the Stars, I'm like, ready for All Stars season. Come on, maybe give it to me, give me the All Stars season.
I don't know. I feel like mass dnswer isn't really a thing anymore. Uh. And of course, so you think you can answer now I'm on the judge's side of and so I wouldn't, you know, venture into contestants world. But I truly, I truly would. I love it. I love dancing. I think it's so fun. So if if a show comes up, I just love reality shows, put me on, put me in coach like I am. I am absolutely ready. I think it's I think it's I think it's fun. I think the healthy competition while making
a show, there's nothing wrong with that. All right, our last question for the day, Oh my gosh, there's so many, so many good ones from you all, but Vanessa had one that I am very excited to answer, and that is, what are some goals that I want to accomplish in the next five years. If you know me, you know that I have a super maternal instinct. And obviously I've talked about Freddie Eddie and Teddy plenty for enough people to know about the little kiddos. It was actually in
Disney again. This is just a couple of days ago, same Disney trip, and this mom comes up to me and she's like, Shojo, look at my boy. He's blond hair, blue eyes, and his name is Teddy. And she was so excited, freaking out, and like obviously there was like the like joke of like Freddy, Eddie and Teddy and his name really was Teddy, and it just it made my heart so happy, and so yeah, in the next five years, I definitely, I don't know if I'll want if I'll have the three kids by now. Of course
I've tossed out the idea of triplets. I've tossed out the idea of Freddie being older and then the twin boys being younger, of the twin boys being older and then Freddie being younger. But I definitely in the next five years want at least a kid. I want to start a family. I love kids. I think that there's nothing more special in bringing kids into this world and protecting them and you know, creating lives that are are happy and healthy. I I really want to just do
life with a kid. I think a lot of people see my busy life and they're like, you need to like explore and go trouble word, and I'm like, I want to, but with a kid. Like I don't want to go to Cabbo and drink with my friends. I want to go to Orlando and go to Disney World with my baby. You know what I mean. That's my vibe. That's my healthy, wholesome vibe. Aside from that, this goal is definitely more than five years in the future, but I would love to play the Super Bowl halftime show.
That is my ultimate dream. I think that'd be so crazy, so cool. I really want one day. I don't know if this could be in the next five years or if it could never happen, but it is a dream of vibe for sure. That is to be the first ever female to play Hamilton. I think that would be so fun, whether it's on Broadway, off Broadway, on a tour, I think just playing the first female to play Hamilton would be so freaking cool. Man. There's so many goals that I want to achieve. I just want to keep
releasing music. I want to go back on tour. Being on tours my favorite thing ever, I think revisiting venues that I did when I was a kid, visiting the KFC Young Center in Louisville and the O two Arena in London. I think it would be so much fun to like relive those lives. But as I am now as an adult, I think that'd be a really, really good time. So that's definitely on my agenda of things that I want to do is go back on tour. So much to accomplish. In five years, man, I'll be
twenty six. Man by that time, I want to have a two year old, maybe a three year old. We'll see. That's my like, that's my number one lit Little Freddy as of now, Little Freddy, We'll see.
