Jojo Siwa has changed her name shortly before ringing in the new year amid her romance with Chris Hughes.
The 22-year-old media personality – who recently reflected on her major transformation – altered her name in her TikTok bio to Joelle Siwa, sending some fans into a frenzy.
The Dance Moms alum also shared a short clip to the social media platform, seemingly teasing what could be in store for 2026.
Siwa could be seen sitting on a couch as a snippet of her 2016 song Boomerang played in the background.

At one point, the star glanced over at the camera while mouthing the lyrics, ‘I’mma come back like a boomerang.’
In the caption of the reel, she also hinted to her 46 million followers: ‘What a year it is ahead.’
Social media users jumped to the comment section of the video to offer their thoughts on Siwa’s surprising name change.
One reacted, ‘ummm joelle siwa? i missed a few chapters,’ while another typed, ‘YOUR NAME IS JOELLE?!??’
In the clip, Siwa’s locks were pulled back into a ponytail with a black bow that had pearl embellishments.
