Speaker 1: You're listening to Jog Just Sea now with me Jojo
Speaker 1: Siua an iHeartRadio podcast. Oh my god, I'm laughing at
Speaker 1: this before I even start this. Oh frick me dating
Speaker 1: as a celebrity. I wish there was a textbook answer.
Speaker 1: I wish there was a pamphlet, a user manual, an
Speaker 1: instruction sheet. Shit. If there wasn't, it was in a
Speaker 1: different language, I would learn that language just to figure
Speaker 1: out how to do this. It is one of the
Speaker 1: hardest things about my job. Whenever I say, you know,
Speaker 1: being a celebrity, or I call myself a celebrity, I
Speaker 1: always get very strange. I mean, I don't I know
Speaker 1: that is like what I am or or who I am,
Speaker 1: But it's very weird to call yourself a celebrity. I
Speaker 1: don't know why, but it's just one of those things
Speaker 1: for me. So if I'm talking and I'm saying that
Speaker 1: and it's weird for you to hear that, just know
Speaker 1: that it's weird for me to say it too. But
Speaker 1: it is what it is. So we're just gonna We're
Speaker 1: gonna get past that. Anyways. One of the things about
Speaker 1: doing and being who I am, being a super public
Speaker 1: figure stating in the limelight can be very very tricky. Now, look,
Speaker 1: I've only learned about trial and air, and there's been
Speaker 1: a lot of trial and there as sure a been
Speaker 1: a lot of air, and that is something that I
Speaker 1: think for the last few years actually I was a
Speaker 1: bit a bit naive to and a bit like, nothing's wrong,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. But then I think in this last year
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, really taking the time to just be
Speaker 1: alone and looking back and looking back at things I did,
Speaker 1: mistakes I made, good things I did, it really allowed
Speaker 1: me to be like, oh, you know what, there was
Speaker 1: some air and that is okay. And some of the
Speaker 1: air was on my behalf, some of the air was
Speaker 1: on my partner's behalf. But I think being able to
Speaker 1: actually realize that is a very very very massive thing.
Speaker 1: Long story short, today we are going to be deep
Speaker 1: dive in talking about all of this. This is my
Speaker 1: free therapy session for myself. So thank you for listening.
Speaker 1: Every single person that is hearing this right now, you
Speaker 1: are my therapist for the next thirty minutes because I
Speaker 1: do not have one, even though I should, I don't.
Speaker 1: It's okay, we're fine. That's what you're here for. Being
Speaker 1: a celebrity, it is very difficult to enter the dating
Speaker 1: scene just initially meeting somebody you know you first, just
Speaker 1: being a human, it's hard to enter the dating scene.
Speaker 1: You go out, you might find somebody, you might not.
Speaker 1: How do you meet somebody? Who do you work with?
Speaker 1: Are these your you know what I mean? There's there's
Speaker 1: a lot that goes into how do you actually meet somebody?
Speaker 1: But as a person in the world, dating apps are
Speaker 1: a thing now, and they are They make it very
Speaker 1: very much so more convenient for sure, uh and more
Speaker 1: I guess they make data more accessible. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: for being a celebrity, you cannot have a dating app. Now.
Speaker 1: There is ray uh and that is some fancy one
Speaker 1: for celebrities that you have to get approved to be in.
Speaker 1: You got to get requested, is you referred. It's a
Speaker 1: whole thing. But there's not that many people on it.
Speaker 1: And so what happens is the thing with Hinge, Tinder, Bumble,
Speaker 1: all of them. They see your name, So I'll put
Speaker 1: in honestly, I'll put in Joel see what I won't
Speaker 1: even put in jojo see because Joelle is what's on
Speaker 1: my ID and what's on my passport and all that,
Speaker 1: and I'll send in my passport, my birth certificate. I
Speaker 1: make the joke. I'm always like shit, I'd send them
Speaker 1: my Social Security number and I'd still get blocked. But
Speaker 1: it is so true. They just the algorithm notices the
Speaker 1: name and then they take it down, and you know,
Speaker 1: then I'll email tell them what's up, and I've done
Speaker 1: this all before. They'll say, okay, we'll get it up,
Speaker 1: and we'll leave it up. But then again, just over time,
Speaker 1: the algorithm just takes it down. And so dating apps
Speaker 1: are not really a thing. So for me, I feel
Speaker 1: like I honestly meet most people, I think actually pretty
Speaker 1: much everybody, just through regular social media, through Instagram, DMS, TikTok, DMS.
Speaker 1: I met one person I was okay, okay, okay, wait,
Speaker 1: let's go back. Let's go back a little bit. Because
Speaker 1: my first like true fling was with the boy and
Speaker 1: I know I knew him as a family friend for years,
Speaker 1: but we didn't have like a fling until I was famous.
Speaker 1: But it was very normal because we had known each
Speaker 1: other since I was like five or six. My second
Speaker 1: fling actually ended up becoming my first boyfriend. I got
Speaker 1: introduced to him through friends and that was kind of
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a social media relationship in a way,
Speaker 1: like we I like, I will never deny that I
Speaker 1: thought he was like cute for a time, but it
Speaker 1: was never like we were never going to truly be
Speaker 1: in love, you know what I mean. Like it was
Speaker 1: more for like videos and stuff for sure. And then
Speaker 1: I met my first girlfriend actually on a cruise ship.
Speaker 1: That was very interesting. When I met her, I actually
Speaker 1: we were just friends for a while. She was dating
Speaker 1: somebody at the time. She was dating a boy actually
Speaker 1: at the time, and we became very good friends very
Speaker 1: quickly on this cruise. And what's interesting is I actually
Speaker 1: in the beginning thought she had no idea who I
Speaker 1: was because she was not acting like she did at all,
Speaker 1: and so whatever we were, we were fighting over this
Speaker 1: crane game. This is like three days into the cruise.
Speaker 1: We were fighting over this crane game. And she hadn't
Speaker 1: been around me when people were coming up to me.
Speaker 1: But like I just thought she like didn't think anything
Speaker 1: about I don't know what I thought. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was I was young, I was fifteen, and so whatever
Speaker 1: doesn't literally doesn't matter. Anyways, we're fighting over this like
Speaker 1: claw machine and we're fighting over it, wrestling over it.
Speaker 1: She stops and she looks at me and she said,
Speaker 1: aren't you supposed to be nice? Like, you know, because
Speaker 1: obviously I have. I would like to think that I'm nice.
Speaker 1: But of course the brand, you know, hold the drama
Speaker 1: kidick Caaser, everyone's superhirl, dear you am. It's very it's
Speaker 1: very much so happy, go lucky, very positive vibes driven.
Speaker 1: And so I looked at her and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: so you do know who I am? And she was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course I do. Everybody does, but like it just
Speaker 1: isn't why like I wanted to become friends with you,
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh that's sweet, like didn't think
Speaker 1: much of it whatever. And so then cut to a
Speaker 1: year later, she ended up becoming my very first girlfriend,
Speaker 1: and so that's how we met. And then after that,
Speaker 1: every other girlfriend or partner of interest, even if they
Speaker 1: didn't become a girlfriend, has been just through social media.
Speaker 1: And that is something that is very interesting because you
Speaker 1: can't tell who people truly are, but you think you can.
Speaker 1: And it's a trap that I've fallen into a few
Speaker 1: times now where I'm like, oh, I know exactly this
Speaker 1: person has i't mean I see them every day on
Speaker 1: social media, not realizing that I see thirty seconds of
Speaker 1: their twenty four hours a day on social media. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure that that's been the same from a partner's
Speaker 1: to me, you know what I mean. But I have
Speaker 1: met some actually some really incredible people through social media
Speaker 1: that just never went anywhere, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like there's no shame in being like, hey, we don't
Speaker 1: work out as like partners in a relationship, but we
Speaker 1: can be homies, you know what I mean. And so
Speaker 1: that's something that I'm very grateful for a lot of
Speaker 1: my people that I was like, oh man, this person's hot,
Speaker 1: let me slide into the DMS. It just it's gone nowhere.
Speaker 1: But it's become very homey, very friendly, and that's very
Speaker 1: that's a vibe that I love. I think friends are
Speaker 1: freaking awesome And now I want to dive into that's
Speaker 1: kind of how I meet people. But now, so say
Speaker 1: I'm with somebody, This is where it gets really tricky.
Speaker 1: So we already passed tricky stage one, right, we found somebody.
Speaker 1: Now we're happy. Let's enter tricky stage two. We go
Speaker 1: out on a date. Now, when you go out on
Speaker 1: a date. You know, you want it to just be
Speaker 1: you and that person. You ditch the whole world and
Speaker 1: you go to dinner with just them and you can
Speaker 1: look into each other's eyes and everyone disappears and you're
Speaker 1: in this beautiful moment and then all the sudd boom
Speaker 1: bam boom, somebody will come up to you and say, oh,
Speaker 1: my gosh, can I take a picture with you? And
Speaker 1: that is who I am before this relationship and during
Speaker 1: this relationship, and if this relationship ends, after this relationship,
Speaker 1: and I'm very proud and I'm very very grateful for fans,
Speaker 1: and I would love love to take a picture with you,
Speaker 1: of course, but there's something to be said about that,
Speaker 1: like it's so public. You are never just the two
Speaker 1: of you, you know what I mean. And so I'll
Speaker 1: be at dinner and that's the situation that will happen,
Speaker 1: and you know, you snap out of that moment very quickly,
Speaker 1: and for me, it's a very normal thing to snap
Speaker 1: out of that moment to meet the fans to take
Speaker 1: a picture. A lot of times it'll be kids, you know,
Speaker 1: and so of course I want to have the best
Speaker 1: time ever with the kid and just say, oh, how's
Speaker 1: your dinner? You have a fun night, like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I do birthday of it. But then you know, spend
Speaker 1: us to spend a second to talk to them. I
Speaker 1: know if I saw Miley Cyrus, I would want to
Speaker 1: have my moment, you know what I mean, Like I
Speaker 1: don't want to take a picture, I don't want to
Speaker 1: say and so I can get it. I can see
Speaker 1: where people are coming from. Miley, I would care if
Speaker 1: you're on a date. I would be very very respectful.
Speaker 1: But I understand where people are coming from. People don't
Speaker 1: even know that they're you know, coming in during a moment.
Speaker 1: And so it's something for me that's very normalized. But
Speaker 1: for my partner at the time, or I mean, this
Speaker 1: has happened on every relationship, so for my partners, it's
Speaker 1: very much like whoa wait a second, I thought this
Speaker 1: was about us, you know what I mean. And so
Speaker 1: that's something that's very hard. So I've actually found that
Speaker 1: dating not in public places for me is easier, which
Speaker 1: I saw Prince Harry said something actually about when he
Speaker 1: started dating Megan, it wasn't like, oh hey, let's go
Speaker 1: out to the movies because everyone's going to see us
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, come meet my family, the Queen of
Speaker 1: England and you know what I mean. And so it's like,
Speaker 1: that's your first date is in your house, and your
Speaker 1: home where's a lot of people, you know, You go
Speaker 1: out for a long time, you have all these fun
Speaker 1: little moments, and then you come home and then you
Speaker 1: meet the family. But dating as a celebrity, you do
Speaker 1: that in reverse. You don't get to be public right away.
Speaker 1: You have to keep it private in your in your
Speaker 1: confined home. So that's something that almost breaks a boundary
Speaker 1: a little too quick, and I've found is very difficult
Speaker 1: to deal with because you know you're letting somebody into
Speaker 1: your whole life right away without even knowing them, and
Speaker 1: that's it's tricky. It's tough. I have found. There are
Speaker 1: some things that are a very very very good date. Movie.
Speaker 1: I know people say that movies suck as first dates,
Speaker 1: but as celebrity they are so great because you can
Speaker 1: go and you can sit in a dark theater, you
Speaker 1: can inter right when the movie starts, so you can
Speaker 1: exit right when it ends, no one knows you're there.
Speaker 1: Also escape rooms, because you can book out the whole
Speaker 1: escape room. No one will know that you're in there,
Speaker 1: you're bonding, you're having fun, you're working together, you're thinking,
Speaker 1: you're talking, you're laughing. There's a lot of good about
Speaker 1: escape rooms, and they can be very very private. So
Speaker 1: I feel like those for me are like my first
Speaker 1: like go to what are we gonna do today? Let's
Speaker 1: do this, you know what I mean. But honestly, aside
Speaker 1: from that, like a nice car ride to the beach
Speaker 1: and like, but then you get to the beach and
Speaker 1: there's paparazzi there. You know what I mean. It's like
Speaker 1: there's no privacy anywhere. And so I've learned that you
Speaker 1: have to be very cautious because a lot of times,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this one time, kid, this are you
Speaker 1: ready for this one? Buckle up? So I took my
Speaker 1: best friend, best friend, best friend I cannot reiterate enough,
Speaker 1: best friend who is in a relationship, who I like,
Speaker 1: I love their relationship, like, live your life, do your thing.
Speaker 1: I am her best friend. Took her to Airwon, We
Speaker 1: go in, we have fun, we leave whatever, We're back
Speaker 1: in the car eating food. We didn't know this, we
Speaker 1: got paparazzied. Totally fine, totally normal. Paparazzi publishes this article
Speaker 1: photos of us laughing. Obviously it's my best friend, Like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna laugh, Joe, just see what on date with
Speaker 1: Instagram model YadA Ya when I tell you, I looked
Speaker 1: at it and I laughed and thought it was hilarious.
Speaker 1: And then it was like, Joe, just see what. Being
Speaker 1: so chivalrous got the door for Okay whatever, Fine, this
Speaker 1: was like a hole, like, oh my god, they're really
Speaker 1: running with this, right, I get back to this place
Speaker 1: now they're getting the door in the show. Fore's part
Speaker 1: is a very important part to the story, because I
Speaker 1: get back to this place, air one that we were at.
Speaker 1: It's an automatic door. It is an automatic sliding glass door.
Speaker 1: You walk and it opens, and so that just goes
Speaker 1: to show you that, like you never know what you're
Speaker 1: reading in the press, but it is. It is interesting. Now.
Speaker 1: The thing for me is I let people in very,
Speaker 1: very easily, and then I get very scared as soon
Speaker 1: as I let them in. I let them in, and
Speaker 1: then I get very insecure about a lot of things.
Speaker 1: I overthink a lot of things and I just immediately
Speaker 1: run like that's only a me thing. And so I've
Speaker 1: had to really lean on my friends to kind of
Speaker 1: help me judge different people and be like is this
Speaker 1: person good for me? Is this person bad for me?
Speaker 1: And then this is something that's very interesting is I
Speaker 1: recently had to add after they go through my friends
Speaker 1: is like, no, we think they're a cool person. I
Speaker 1: have a security team, and this is something that's very
Speaker 1: strange for me, and I don't like it necessarily, I'm
Speaker 1: not comfortable with it. But it's because of an incident
Speaker 1: that happened that I have to do, and it's a
Speaker 1: procedure and a thing that I have to do. And
Speaker 1: the step that I have to go through is once
Speaker 1: I start seriously talking to somebody, they do have to
Speaker 1: go through a background check with my security team. And
Speaker 1: that is a very very awkward conversation, especially because it
Speaker 1: has to happen very early in the talking stage. And
Speaker 1: so you know, when you're in the talking stage and
Speaker 1: you like don't really know if you're talking or not,
Speaker 1: but like you think you're talking, but you don't really know,
Speaker 1: and you don't want to say anything because that might
Speaker 1: make it weird. That's the phase where I have to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, so can my security team talk to you?
Speaker 1: Like that? Is that is it's the strangest, and there
Speaker 1: is a very specific reason why I have to do that.
Speaker 1: Something did happen to me with me and I that
Speaker 1: I know that. It's a step that I had to
Speaker 1: take and it is something that I have to do
Speaker 1: to protect me so that way what happens doesn't happen
Speaker 1: again and I don't end up in that situation again.
Speaker 1: But it is a very very very awkward conversation to
Speaker 1: have with a like thinking about it person. Ah ah,
Speaker 1: But normally all things have been good. I've had to
Speaker 1: do this with a few different people. Normally people got
Speaker 1: that makes me sound so crazy. I've literally done it
Speaker 1: with one person. Literally, I've done it with one let
Speaker 1: me not be dramatic. I've had to do it with
Speaker 1: one person. It went fine, it went smoothly. We are
Speaker 1: good to go, like. It was very great. That person
Speaker 1: and I never ended up doing anything, never ended up
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Never. We still talk occasionally, but not like that,
Speaker 1: not on like a cute level, just on like a
Speaker 1: like homy level. They're in a happy relationship now, which
Speaker 1: is great, very happy for them. But that conversation was
Speaker 1: so good, but they were fine with it. They were
Speaker 1: fine with it, So hopefully we were about to have
Speaker 1: that conversation. When next they're okay with it, But damn,
Speaker 1: it's just strange. Another thing about being a celebrity in
Speaker 1: dating is the scheduling is very very confusing because our
Speaker 1: my life is my career, and my career is my life,
Speaker 1: you know, And so at any any any given moment,
Speaker 1: you know, I could I could be on, you know,
Speaker 1: working in my career, and then I could be off,
Speaker 1: and then I could be on and could be off,
Speaker 1: could be on, could be off. And it's very busy.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of rehearsals. There's a lot of studio time.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of you know, working time. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of TV show filming time. There's a lot, a lot,
Speaker 1: a lot of that. But I always say that I'm
Speaker 1: very good for making time for what I want to
Speaker 1: make time for. Now this does kind of transition me
Speaker 1: into my double life. So I say that I am
Speaker 1: two people. I'm not two people. I am very much
Speaker 1: so one person. But there is two sides to me. Right,
Speaker 1: there's the jojo see what that the world knows has
Speaker 1: always known, sees whatever this this front, this this human
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Then my real name is Joel.
Speaker 1: And the thing is is Joelle is also just me.
Speaker 1: It's just the version of me that's like literally the
Speaker 1: ten minutes before I go to bed at night, that's her,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But the thing is is
Speaker 1: I am always both. And that's something that's been really tricky.
Speaker 1: I've been in my two serious relationships. One has liked
Speaker 1: Jojo but not Joelle, and one has liked Joel but
Speaker 1: not Jojo. And that is something that I find very
Speaker 1: difficult to juggle because I have this talk with people that, Look,
Speaker 1: the thing is is you can't just like me when
Speaker 1: I am working or performing and then not when I'm
Speaker 1: behind closed doors. It's very strange, just the same thing,
Speaker 1: and both people are present at all times. A lot
Speaker 1: of times, you know, I was in a relationship where
Speaker 1: someone would say to me like, hey, like you're not
Speaker 1: that right now, like like be like who you really
Speaker 1: want to be right now and saying like be Joel
Speaker 1: right now, don't be Jojo, And I'd be like, wait,
Speaker 1: that's not a thing. It's not I'm not like true,
Speaker 1: it doesn't turn off like I don't just like I'm
Speaker 1: not a I don't. I don't switch flavors. Like what
Speaker 1: do you? It's both, And so then I had a
Speaker 1: deep dive into this conversation with this partner of being, like, look,
Speaker 1: the thing is is when I'm on stage, it's Joelle's
Speaker 1: like hard work that's driving that performance. It's Joelle's grit.
Speaker 1: When I am chilling in my room relaxing and like
Speaker 1: no one's around, it's it's still both. Jojo doesn't just
Speaker 1: like go wait, my work has never left ever, And
Speaker 1: that is something that I am very very used to
Speaker 1: and I love and I care very very much about.
Speaker 1: But when someone new comes into that that has a
Speaker 1: normal life, it's very tricky to explain. Look, I am
Speaker 1: always this human and that human. I'm always both. Neither
Speaker 1: one comes or goes. It's a very confusing topic and
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish it could make more sense, and
Speaker 1: I wish it was easier to explain it. I wish
Speaker 1: there was a word for it, or a definition or
Speaker 1: a story that I could tell. But it truly is
Speaker 1: one of those things that's like just a feeling that
Speaker 1: like you either get it or you don't. And I'm
Speaker 1: very lucky some very good friends in my life who
Speaker 1: just understand it. And my best friends forever. Rachel. She's
Speaker 1: been my best friend since I was twelve. She somehow
Speaker 1: has always understood it and always been able to be
Speaker 1: there for me in career moments, in personal moments and
Speaker 1: know that when I'm having the high of my career,
Speaker 1: I might be having the low of my life, but
Speaker 1: somehow I can have both at the same time. And
Speaker 1: then I might be having the high of my life
Speaker 1: but the low of my career and I can have
Speaker 1: both at the same time. And so that's that's something
Speaker 1: that I'm truly looking for in a partner, somebody who
Speaker 1: can understand that. But that is just one of those
Speaker 1: things is like, look, you either get it or you don't,
Speaker 1: and I can't teach it. I can explain it, but
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that I just I don't
Speaker 1: know really how to start that conversation until it just
Speaker 1: like comes up. And I think I actually got scared
Speaker 1: away from that conversation because I did have it with
Speaker 1: somebody who I was very interested in. And after I
Speaker 1: had that conversation, you know, it's a gradual process, but
Speaker 1: it they they kind of ran away a little bit,
Speaker 1: and that to me kind of scared me away from
Speaker 1: that conversation because I was like, ah, shit, like I
Speaker 1: just gotta let people think what they want. But then
Speaker 1: at the same time, I was like, but that they
Speaker 1: need to know, you know what I mean? Ah, it
Speaker 1: is so crazy, So let's just go to my past. Right. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I've been in some very very very public relationships, and
Speaker 1: there is something that happens when I'm in these relationships
Speaker 1: that I still am learning how to deal with and
Speaker 1: learning how to navigate. So whatever, We'll post a cute video.
Speaker 1: It's fun, it's fresh, it's fears, we're living our lives.
Speaker 1: Boom bam comments section, what how do you deal with this?
Speaker 1: You know, you have people a comparing to your last relationship,
Speaker 1: be shading your relationship, telling people that you don't belong together,
Speaker 1: telling you that you can do much better, telling your
Speaker 1: partner that they can do much better. And it's like, WHOA,
Speaker 1: I did not know people cared that much about my relationship.
Speaker 1: But okay, and that's something that's very interesting. It's like
Speaker 1: you kind of gotta kind of gotta pick your battles.
Speaker 1: And I think I've just learned that, like people are
Speaker 1: gonna talk, especially on the Internet, people are gonna talk
Speaker 1: shit and it is so foul and it is so wrong,
Speaker 1: but people, people will I do you think one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why I want to keep future relationships private
Speaker 1: is because my exes while I was with one of them,
Speaker 1: got compared to one another, and that is something that
Speaker 1: I I mean, obviously, you know, I'm I talk about
Speaker 1: my exes publicly because it was very public. It's still
Speaker 1: very public. It's all out there. And the thing is
Speaker 1: is I always felt guilty being like, you have to
Speaker 1: see this with her, but I'm not with her. But
Speaker 1: I know what I shared with her, and I know
Speaker 1: what it looked like. But now I'm doing that with you.
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's just say I started dating someone
Speaker 1: right now, right and they look up JOJ you see
Speaker 1: a girlfriend, They're gonna see two girls and plus themselves,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And so that's something that
Speaker 1: I'm like, Shit, I really wish I would have taken
Speaker 1: my dad's advice and kept everything super private, but I didn't,
Speaker 1: and that's something that I just live and learn. And
Speaker 1: it's okay. And obviously whoever's whoever I date next, you know,
Speaker 1: is gonna I'm assuming at some point google my name
Speaker 1: and they're gonna see my exes and they're gonna know
Speaker 1: my past. And I'm very open about my past, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But I think that's something that
Speaker 1: comes with time and maturity and aging. Is I now
Speaker 1: am like, oh, like I don't. I used to care
Speaker 1: so much about like my partner's exes, you know, I
Speaker 1: say what I know about them and are you still
Speaker 1: in love with them? Now I feel like I'm at
Speaker 1: a point in time and I'm an age in life
Speaker 1: where I like, literally that your ex is the least
Speaker 1: of my worries. I remember when it used to be
Speaker 1: like my biggest problem, But now, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: literally like, if you want your ex, go be with them. Like,
Speaker 1: if you're still in love with your ex, don't be
Speaker 1: with me. Like That's kind of where I'm at in
Speaker 1: life now. But I remember being like, just say you're
Speaker 1: in love with your rex? You know you are? Like
Speaker 1: literally Jojo, relax, go like calm down, You're just stop it.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things one of the traits about
Speaker 1: me that I am very happy to have fixed now.
Speaker 1: Sliding into DMS is something that I have no shame doing.
Speaker 1: I will slide faster than I slid into home blade
Speaker 1: during the celebrity softball game. Happily all the time as
Speaker 1: much as possible. People have slid into me at my DMS,
Speaker 1: and I do check, like I thoroughly will check my
Speaker 1: Instagram dms, TikTok dms, I'll check my TikTok comments, I'll
Speaker 1: check tiktoks that I'm tagged in. I'll check my tagged
Speaker 1: photos on Instagram. It is how I find people, and
Speaker 1: so I have no shame in sliding people that I've
Speaker 1: slid in my DMS. Actually quite a few that I've
Speaker 1: ended up like becoming very good friends with thought for
Speaker 1: a time it might have been more than that never
Speaker 1: went anywhere, And that's cool too, but not not like
Speaker 1: I love a slide in the damn Some people are
Speaker 1: ashamed of it. I'm not at all. I think it's
Speaker 1: so what how else do you expect to like not
Speaker 1: not just freaking slide in and enjoy it. Something that's
Speaker 1: interesting is dating a celebrity versus dating not a celebrity.
Speaker 1: I've dated somebody who's in the industry, and I've dated
Speaker 1: somebody who's not in the industry, and honestly, both came
Speaker 1: with their perks. They really did both had their pros,
Speaker 1: bowls had their cons. I think personally, I don't care
Speaker 1: if somebody's in the industry. I do think if they're
Speaker 1: in the same exact career path as mine, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I think dating a musician, as much as I
Speaker 1: love Billie Eilish, I think it would be very very
Speaker 1: tricky because that's that's my passion. That's what I love
Speaker 1: to do. I love to perform, and so I want
Speaker 1: somebody who that's not their passion. I want to be
Speaker 1: able to go to their games or to their shows
Speaker 1: that are not if they were comedian, I'd want to
Speaker 1: go to their shows. But I think if Sy was
Speaker 1: dating another artist, that for me would be very tricky
Speaker 1: to navigate. And so I think industry doesn't bug me.
Speaker 1: But look, I'm a firm believer in like, your person
Speaker 1: is going to be your person. Whatever they do, whatever
Speaker 1: walk of life they come from, that is meant to
Speaker 1: be your person. As I'm just sitting here patiently, waiting,
Speaker 1: patiently waiting anytime Billie Eilish wants to walk through my door.
Speaker 1: It is wide open, but I am patiently waiting for anybody,
Speaker 1: whoever that person may be one day, whoever the mother
Speaker 1: of Freddie, Eddie and Teddy is we will find out
Speaker 1: one day. Last thing that I want to talk about
Speaker 1: is my fun dates that I have been on. So
Speaker 1: the world has this joke with me about Disney dates,
Speaker 1: and it's actually kind of funny. I just started talking
Speaker 1: to somebody and I'm enjoying it very very much. We'll
Speaker 1: see the future of life. But one of the first
Speaker 1: things they said to me was, oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: to Disney. I love Disney so much. And I was like, oh, shay,
Speaker 1: here we go. They were just going like on their own.
Speaker 1: In a couple of days. I was like, here we go.
Speaker 1: Here the freak we go. Yes, I do go to
Speaker 1: Disney a lot on dates. The thing is, Disney is
Speaker 1: very fun and very simple as a celebrity to go
Speaker 1: to it's a very good day. You can walk through
Speaker 1: the back routes, you have a guide, they get you
Speaker 1: private private rides, they you have private seating at dinner.
Speaker 1: There's They make it very accommodating for celebrities to go
Speaker 1: to Disney. And so that's one of the reasons why
Speaker 1: I love going on dates to Disney is because it
Speaker 1: is very very accommodating. Now with that I've learned it's
Speaker 1: also very very public, and I've got to be very
Speaker 1: very careful about that. Will I be absolutely not if
Speaker 1: somebody says to me they want to go on to
Speaker 1: Disney Day, I will happily take them on a Disney Day,
Speaker 1: for sure. I will say though. I've had a few
Speaker 1: friends wore like, oh good, I want to go to
Speaker 1: Disney that with you, and I tell them straight up,
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, we can go, but just know, just
Speaker 1: know what will come out of this. I was like,
Speaker 1: obviously there's nothing between us, but just know how it
Speaker 1: will be. And that's just not something I think. One
Speaker 1: of the most outrageous dates I ever went on was
Speaker 1: a Disney date and a Qurt side Laker date back
Speaker 1: to back, same girl. The thing is, Disney's not cheap.
Speaker 1: It's not cheap to go to especially you know, you
Speaker 1: get you get all this this nice luxury treatment as
Speaker 1: a celebrity, but it does come with a very very
Speaker 1: pretty price. And the Disney teams amazing and I love
Speaker 1: them very much and I love working with them very much.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a it's a pretty penny and of
Speaker 1: course court side Laker tickets are a pretty penny. And yeah,
Speaker 1: boombam one day after another. That was definitely the most
Speaker 1: outrageous dates I've ever gone on, back to back. But
Speaker 1: it was fun. It was worth it. Do I regret it? Nah?
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit, maybe just a little bit, just
Speaker 1: like a little bit, but like it was fun. So
Speaker 1: I don't think I do, but maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1: It's fine, It's fine. I mean to wrap this up. Look,
Speaker 1: the thing is is dating as a celebrity is hard,
Speaker 1: very much so dating is normal as just a human
Speaker 1: is hard. Of course, being a celebrity, you know, it
Speaker 1: has its other weird little quirks and things that you
Speaker 1: don't even really realize some of them. I don't even
Speaker 1: really realize, you know. I don't realize half of this
Speaker 1: stuff until it actually happens and it's in front of me,
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, oh, how do I do what
Speaker 1: with this? Yeah? You know, I look to other celebrities
Speaker 1: for advice. I have a lot of good big sisters.
Speaker 1: Making trainer has been really good for me. Demi's been
Speaker 1: a really good friend. Paris Hilton has been a very
Speaker 1: very good friend. It's interesting, just like all these really
Speaker 1: cool celebrities have given good advice, you know, what I mean,
Speaker 1: and you just you talk to them occasionally, you have
Speaker 1: therapy sessions. They get it, they help you out, but
Speaker 1: it's it's not easy. But I don't I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's easy for anybody, so I can't
Speaker 1: give myself too much slack. Uh. Anyways, Look, applications are open.
