JoJo Siwa made girlfriend Dakayla Wilson’s 19th birthday one to remember.
The former “Dance Moms” star revealed she spent a whopping $30,000 on a surprise vacation for Wilson, whose birthday is Friday.
“We’re about to take her on the best birthday extravaganza, we’re going to Hawaii,” Siwa, 21, told E! News on Wednesday. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Despite the high price tag, Siwa insisted that “it’s not about the money.”
“It’s about the person, it’s about the time and the thing you do and the experience,” she told the outlet.
The pair went public with their relationship in August but Siwa says they’re already “very madly in love.”
“She is a very, very special girl,” the former Nickelodeon star said. “I’m very lucky to have her in my life.”
While Wilson praised Siwa’s “work ethic,” the “Karma” singer applauded her partner’s vulnerability.
“The way that she opens up and the way that I’ve seen her in the last three months be able to shift her perspective on life and take deeper breaths and grow as a human being the way she grows as a human being,” she noted. “It’s a beautiful thing to see because it’s not easy to grow.”
Siwa continued, “And her lips, they’re cute!”
The couple met while Wilson was competing in Season 18 of “So You Think You Can Dance?,” where Siwa served as a judge alongside Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Allison Holker.
“She was on the dance floor. I was not. I was chilling in a judge’s chair,” Siwa recalled. “She was crushing it, she placed second in the show.”
While Siwa and Wilson have been going strong for two months, the former was linked to another “SYTYCD” contestant just a few months prior.
Siwa was spotted passionately locking lips with Madison Rouge Alvarado at the Los Angeles International Airport in late May.
Alvarado, who placed third in the competition series, held Siwa’s face in her hands as they packed on the PDA outside the drop-off zone.
The former teen star, who had lots of luggage, and Alvarado shared one final embrace before the former flew out of town.
The emotional farewell came just one week after the “SYTYCD” season finale aired.
The recently rebranded singer and actress, who came out as gay in January 2021, also previously dated Kylie Prew and Avery Cyrus.
