Dancing With the Stars made history during the Season 30 premiere. For the first time, a same-sex couple will be competing in the series. During the premiere, the show revealed which professionals that the celebrity contestants would be dancing with. At the end of the night, they revealed that Dance Moms alum JoJo Siwa would be dancing with pro-Jenna Johnson.
It was previously announced that Siwa, who came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in January, would be making history for being a part of a same-sex dance partnership on the ABC series. But, her partner has been kept under wraps until now. Siwa did speak out about being on the show when she appeared at the Television Critics Association panel in late August. At the time, she voiced her excitement over the opportunity and shared that she was pleasantly surprised that the series gave her the opportunity to work with either a male or female partner.
