The former "Dance Moms" star, who came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community earlier this year and is dating Kylie Prew, recently told reporters she is "proud" to be making history on "Dancing With the Stars".
"When I read the email it was like, 'Would JoJo prefer to dance with a girl or with a boy?' And I was like, 'Wait, that's an option? Let's absolutely do it!' " she said. "It was a like, 'Whoa, I'm changing the future' (moment), because I have such a kid demographic. It's making it acceptable, and I love that and I'm so proud of that."
