JoJo Siwa Details Her Exact Timeline for Welcoming Her 3 Babies

JoJo Siwa has been carefully choreographing her future.
Weeks after detailing her plans to welcome three babies at the same time with the help of three surrogates, she shared her next move in an exclusive interview with E! News.
"I want to have babies around when I'm 23," explained the 21-year-old, noting that her timeline for having daughter Freddie and sons Eddy and Teddy includes some wiggle room. "Whether that's babies in the cooker in two years or whether that's babies actually here on the scene in two years, I'm unsure, but I think definitely two years."
At the same time, the Dance Moms alum is still committed to climbing up the music industry's pyramid following the July release of her debut EP Guilty Pleasure.
"My career obviously is a very big part of my life, it is my life," she acknowledged, "but I don't think that's a reason to not have kids. And I want them very badly."
Besides, she reasoned, "A little Freddie could be chilling right here, right now."
In the meantime, she's busy birthing a few other projects.
For starters, filming horror flick All My Friends Are Dead (in select theaters, on digital and demand Aug. 2) with fellow Nickelodeon alum Jade Pettyjohn was pretty killer.
"It was so much fun," Pettyjohn raved to E!. "When we had a little bit of alone time between takes, I was like, 'So what have you been doing?' And I'm like, 'Wait, it's actually been years since we've really, really been around with each other.' So I was like, 'Oh my God, we're catching up on years of tea right now.' But it was great."
Echoed Siwa, "It was a ball. The set environment was great."
Really, if she could log just one complaint, it'd be that her part—while "the heart of this film," as Pettyjohn stressed—was wrapped in just one day.
"I would have honestly loved to have more," said Siwa, noting her desire was for extra days palling around on set, rather than a larger chunk of screentime, "but I am so, so grateful for what I did have in the film."
And her other day job keeps her plenty busy.
Weeks after Guilty Pleasure's release, "I am so happy that this music is finally out," said Siwa, "and there's so much more to come."
While she tends more toward the go-big-or-go-home vibes, she's held herself back ever so slightly.
"Typically I'm like, 'Let me dive into the deep end of the pool,'" she acknowledged, "but with this one, I'm like, 'All right, I'm going to get my calves in. I'm not just going to, like, dip my toe. I'm going to step in, but I'm going to hang out here for a second. So I feel like my feet are in the pool."
And the water is fine.
"The response from the world has been exactly what I wanted it to be," she said. "There's positive, there's negative, but there's a lot of heads that are looking and that was the biggest goal and so I'm very, very grateful for that. I love being on the ball field and playing the game and I will keep continuing to. No complaints from my end."
Though if she did have something to say, she wouldn't exactly be shy about it. Check out the shade she's delivered that's earned her a spot at the top of our clapback pyramid.
After JoJo Siwa's "Karma" topped a list of "Most Disliked Music Videos by a Female Artist on YouTube in 2024," she noted her song beat out fourth place's "yes, and?" by Ariana Grande, third place's "Woman's World" by Katy Perry and second place's "Fortnight" Taylor Swift.
"You know, I am the only person that can say I beat Taylor Swift on a list of something," the former Nickelodeon star said in a July 2024 TikTok. "I'll take it."
Because as JoJo saw it, she still came in first place.
"What a day to celebrate," she captioned the video. "Karma broke a record. 900% more than 2nd place. A win is a win."
JoJo didn't mince words after she was booed at her June 2024 Pride concert in New York.
"Who the living f--k just booed me?" the singer asked the crowd in a video shared on social media. "Where the f--k did that come from? Which one of you?"
And once she identified the individual, JoJo replied, "Respectfully, f--k you."
Similarly, while performing at a Pride concert in L.A. that same month, JoJo declared on stage, "Tell the haters to lick my nuts."
After being accused of stealing her song "Karma" from Miley Cyrus and Brit Smith, JoJo shut down the allegation.
"I did not steal anything," the YouTuber told TMZ in April 2024. "There’s no such thing as stealing."
And JoJo offered an explanation.
"Honestly, it’s an old song," she shared earlier with the outlet. "I was pitched it. I loved it, was obsessed it, so I grasped onto it. That’s a very normal thing. What happens is people write songs and then they just don’t do anything with them and then a few years later it makes more sense for another artist."
After being compared to JoJo in April 2024, Canadian rapper Lil Tay suggested she'd just learned who JoJo is and asked a social media user to “please don’t mention me & her in the same sentence”—adding JoJo “doesn’t write her music” and calling her a “fraud.”
For her part, JoJo may have subtly responded to Lil Tay’s posts online—with fan accounts sharing screenshots of JoJo allegedly liking a post that read, “There’s really no comparison between JoJo and #LilyTay anyway. #JoJoSiwa has a career. Lil Tay is just a meme, and a pathetic one at that.”
The Dance Moms alum wasn't going to let this negativity take center stage.
After a social media user tweeted disappointment over JoJo joining So You Think You Can Dance's judging panel in spring 2022, she replied, "Literally why tweet this?" JoJo then proceeded to remind the follower of her résumé.
"18 Years of Dance Knowledge. 4 Major dance TV shows. I've hired over 1000 dancers. 16 Dance music videos," she added. "If you don't like me that's okay… but if you think I don't know about dance ya just sound silly."
After JoJo and her then-girlfriend Avery Cyrus confirmed their relationship by posting a video of them kissing at Chuck E. Cheese in September 2022, a social media user poked fun at the date location. However, the "Boomerang" artist—who split from Avery later that year—didn't let the clip bring her down.
"You know what I love most about this?" she replied. "Is that this girl woke up today and was like, 'You know what? I'm gonna hate on JoJo Siwa for taking Avery on a date to Chuck E. Cheese' as if I haven't been a giant toddler my whole life. It's my duty."
In 2022, JoJo listed Candace Cameron Bure as the “rudest” celebrity she’s ever met for turning down an 11-year-old JoJo's request for a photo. The Full House alum apologized, and they buried the hatchet. Or so fans thought.
However, JoJo—who came out as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021—called her out later that year after Candace said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that Great American Family, a network where she works as Chief Creative Officer, “will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
“Honestly, I can’t believe after everything that went down just a few months ago, that she would not only create a movie with intention of excluding LGBTQIA+, but then also talk about it in the press,” JoJo wrote on Instagram. “This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people.”
Candance later addressed her interview comments, saying she has “great love and affection for all people.”
“I had also expressed in my interview, which was not included, that people of all ethnicities and identities have and will continue to contribute to the network in great ways both in front of and behind the camera,” she wrote on Instagram, “which I encourage and fully support.”
This story may have landed on the top of the pyramid, er, rather your feeds.
In a since-deleted TikTok from 2020, Dance Moms alum Brooke Hyland posted a video of her receiving a new friend suggestion on Facebook and her cringing when she saw that it was for her former instructor Abby Lee Miller. However, JoJo didn't seem to appreciate the clip.
"It's one thing to just not add her back," she commented before adding, "It's another to post it..."
After JoJo began switching up her look—like when she ditched her once-signature side ponytail and bow—fans started commenting on her new styles. So much so that the "D.R.E.A.M." performer addressed her followers.
"Recently I've shown myself looking different...," she wrote in an April 2020 TikTok. "Not the classic rainbow, sparkles, and side ponytail with a JoJo Bow....I've been hated on for YEARS for dressing 'Young' and acting 'Childish.' People think this is me 'changing.' LOL NOPE!!! I love who I am! This is just me at night or in the morning!"
And JoJo left them with a little "PSA."
"'If you yell at me I'm gonna cry'....." she captioned the video, "but if you hate on me I'm gonna laugh hahah! Thank u for the good times! Love u!"
