JoJo Siwa explains why she wants to be a mom of ‘triplets’

JoJo Siwa is already planning ahead for motherhood.

In a YouTube video for Cosmopolitan, the 21-year-old dancer gave fans a glimpse into her path to becoming a mother.

Siwa, who came out as a member of the LGBTQ community in January 2021 and said that she identified as pansexual in April 2021, explaiend that she has to “plan a pregnancy much different than straight person.”

“I actually want to take three eggs — fertilize three eggs — and have three surrogates,” she explained. “So technically, they’ll all be the same batch, but they would all be born separately.”

She added, “I’m going to have my surrogates, my babies, then maybe little birthdays will land on different days, and they can be like triplets, but like not.”

In recent interviews, Siwa has gotten candid about wanting to be a mom in the coming years.

She shared in a February episode of her podcast “JoJo Siwa Now” that when considering a new relationship, one of the “biggest things” she was looking for is somebody who was ready to be a parent and have kids.

“I am not ready, but I’m very near ready,” she said. “I think that within the next three, four — I wish I could say two, three, but I still feel like I will be a little young in two years — but I say three, four because I feel like that’s like pregnant in three, babies in four.”

She said that having kids is something that she cares “very, very much about,” and that she’s wanted to have children for “a very long time.”

“I’ve had a very big maternal instinct since I was literally 12,” she said, before noting that her sexuality meant there “is a very different process” and “a little bit of extra steps” to having children.

“So that is something now that I’m really looking for in somebody who’s ready to be there in three years, which I think is why now I gravitate towards people that are older than me,” she explained. “I gravitate towards 27, 28, because I feel like that’s when more people are ready to have little babies.”

Siwa also gave fans insight into her future baby names: Freddie, Eddie, and Teddie, which she spoke about on the red carpet with E! News in March.

When asked what the end goal was for her in her carer, the former “Dance Moms” star said it was her future family.

“People ask me why I do this and it’s because one day I want to have a great little family,” she said. “I got my three kids names picked out, Freddie, Eddie, and Teddie…Got a sperm donor lined up and all, we’re ready! We just got to be patient. I got a couple years.”

She shared the meaning behind the names of her future children during her April appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, explaining that Freddie was in honor of the late Freddie Mercury because he changed her life.

“I wanted to name a girl Freddie for the longest time, for the last eight years,” she said. “Then I was like, well, I really want twin boys…I wish I could remember the exact moment that it hit, but I was like, ‘Oh man, one day, Freddie, Eddie, and Teddie.’ It just came.”
