JoJo Siwa has emerged after social media users theorized the star had been ‘missing’ for over a month.
The Dance Moms alum, 21, made light of the rumors as she grabbed coffee in Los Angeles wearing a silly ‘Missing Persons’ shirt.
The ‘missing’ individual was JoJo herself, with the T-shirt stating she was ‘last seen’ on October 8, 2024 along with a pH๏τo of her at the Industry Dance Awards.
At the show, which occurred on October 8, JoJo appeared on stage and took part in a TikTok trend of thanking Beyonce.
While JoJo has sporadically posted to social media since then and even made an appearance at the a Gala of the Stars event the following day, fans have been wondering for the past month if she had disappeared.
But JoJo put the rumors to bed herself as she stepped out earlier this week on Sunday for a cup of Joe.

JoJo teamed her silly shirt with a sparkling bucket hat, polka dot pajama bottoms, and lace-up boots.
Social media users have been expressing concern over JoJo’s whereabouts the past few weeks on Twitter.
‘Is JoJo still missing or did we find her,’ one posted.
‘yall is jojo siwa still missing?’ another asked.
‘JOJO SIWA IS MISSING WHAT IN THE WORLD,’ one cried out.
One was a little more dismissive about the rumors: ‘So apparently JoJo Siwa went missing and/or into hiding and I still don’t give a f**k.’
The outing came just one day before JoJo announced her new song, Iced Coffee.
The star unveiled the track during an appearance at Brown University on Monday and even performed the new song.

She opened up about how her online platform provides fans with a sliver of her everyday life.
‘That’s kind of how I plan my career. I keep it entertaining because that’s what I was put on this earth to do, and that’s what I want to do,’ she said at the event, according to the Brown Daily Herald.
‘However, it all comes from me. There’s definitely a more emotional side of me,’ she added.
‘I live a great life, and I love to share it. Yes, there is more, but what you see is what you get.’
Meanwhile, JoJo recently revealed how her dating philosophy has changed over the years – and what made her want to start letting people in on her relationship with new girlfriend Dakayla Wilson.
Siwa got her start on the hit reality show Dance Moms, and later turned into a viral sensation on social media, signing with Nickelodeon in 2017, when she was 14.

In January 2021, when she was 17 years old, she came out as part of the LGBTQ+ community – and now, she’s opening up about how she chooses to display her relationships.
‘You know, it’s interesting. My mom always used to tell me, “The whole world doesn’t need to know everything, JoJo. You can keep some things a secret,”‘ Siwa recently said during a panel at Rhode Island Comic Con on Friday, according to People.
And at the time, Siwa agreed with her mom, but now seems to share a different sentiment about being a public figure.
‘Secrets are hard to keep,’ she admitted during the panel, per the outlet.
‘It’s so hard to keep. When you’re so excited about something… I was kind of born to share my life with the world, and I’m okay with that and I enjoy that.’

She explained that when she first came out, she was in a ‘great relationship’ with then-girlfriend Kylie Prew, which ended in a breakup – something she credits to them both being young at the time.
However, it was her next relationship that affected how she chose to share her love with the world.
‘But then after that, I had a public relationship with somebody else that wasn’t the best — it kind of seemed like it was the best, but it really wasn’t the best,’ Siwa said.
‘And then, after it ended, it was really not the best. And it just scared me from sharing relationships publicly.’
After that, the Karma singer said that she made a pledge to herself that she wouldn’t openly share her romances anymore.
And, it turns out that it worked – Siwa revealed during the panel that before dating Wilson, she had two ‘flings’ and a serious relationship that no one knew about.
However, when she met Wilson, who was the runner-up on season 18 of So You Think You Can Dance, everything felt different.
‘I was okay to go public with her,’ the former Dance Moms star told People about her new relationship.
