JoJo Siwa shares poignant 'self-reflection' post as she addresses her sexuality
Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa has used the start of Pride Month to share a personal reflection on identity, love, and self-acceptance JoJo Siwa opened Pride Month 2025 with a heartfelt post to her followers, offering a message of love and self-acceptance amid her new romance with Chris Hughes. 'Happy day 1 of the happiest month,' the 22-year-old wrote on Instagram Stories. 'What I have learned over the last 22 years is that pride is all about love, acceptance and celebration. No matter who you are or what you are, you are you, you are beautiful, and you are perfect. Everyone's story is different and everyone's journey is different.' Calling love 'just love,' Siwa praised its simplicity and added: 'Happy pride to the beautiful LGBTQIA+ community, to the allies, and to all that exist :).' Earlier this year, the former child star made headlines when she began dating Celebrity Big Brother UK co-star Chris, 32. During the show's 24th season, she shared a personal revelation: 'I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, but I think being here, I've realised: 'Oh no, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer.' I think that's really cool. I'm switching letters.' She later told Us Weekly she hadn't expected that moment to air: 'That was one of those conversations actually that I was having that I was like, 'This will never see the light of day.' I don't mind that it did, because I actually think it starts a very beautiful conversation of queer. I think queer joy is so special and so magical.' Explaining her evolving understanding of identity, Siwa said she's no longer interested in strict labels: 'Queer is a beautiful umbrella term for the LGBTQIA community. I think that for me to be a woman and say I have a non-binary partner, but then also say I'm a lesbian is crazy. I just realized within myself that the way my eyes are to the world, I think I'm just queer. "It has nothing to do with anything besides that. It's nothing to be ashamed of. The world is going crazy with that one though. It flabbergasts me.' Prior to her relationship with Hughes, Siwa briefly dated Australian creator Kath Ebbs, who is non-binary. Their split reportedly happened during the Big Brother wrap party in April. Siwa has also been outspoken about the discomfort she feels with certain language. After telling Yahoo! Life in 2022 that she 'doesn't like the word 'lesbian,'' she clarified on TikTok: 'I never said that 'lesbian' was a dirty word. It's not a bad word, it's not a slur, it's especially not a word that I am ashamed of saying or ashamed of identifying as by any means.' In that interview, she compared the term to words people find unappealing simply by sound: 'I don't like the word itself. It's just like a lot... It's like the word moist. It's just like… ugh!' She added on TikTok, 'I don't hate the word lesbian… it's not the word that flows off the tongue for me, if that makes sense.'

Old-fashioned baby names are roaring back into fashion — and experts say they know why
In recent years, out-there, creative or trendy baby names were all the rage — now it seems like the classic, old-fashioned ones are popular again. According to Jennifer Moss, founder and CEO of and baby-name consultant Taylor A. Humphrey, grandma-like names such as Eleanor, Eloise, Elodie, Alma, Margaret, Nora and Bennett, are 'super trendy' for girls this year, originally reported by Yahoo! Life. 'On the boys' side, we're seeing the 'trad name,' or old-fashioned names, stick — like Theodore, Oliver, Owen, Silas and Jasper,' Colleen Slagen, author of the forthcoming book 'Naming Bebe,' also told the outlet. '…I'm hearing Hayes, Lachlan, Palmer, Soren, Sterling and Theodore,' added Humphrey. 'These names feel grounded, elegant and sturdy; they offer just the right mix of vintage soul and modern edge.' Why are these dated names gaining traction again? 'I think vintage names evoke a sense of nostalgia. I get a lot of clients who pull out their family tree, looking to grandparents and great-grandparents for name inspiration,' Slagen said. '…Nursing homes and graveyards would be great sources of name inspiration.' And according to Sophie Kihm, editor-in-chief of Nameberry, a baby naming website, today's parents are leaning more towards simpler names for their babies. 'More families in the US come from mixed cultural backgrounds, and I hear parents commonly request that they want their child to travel and have a relatively easy-to-understand name,' she said. In regards to which names are getting the baby bump, at least for a while — ones with 'aden' in it, like Braden or Jayden, according to the experts. 'I do hear less of those names now,' said Slagen. 'I think they hit their peak in the early 2000s.' Before you get offended if your name is no longer favored, Humphrey pointed out that baby name trends ebb and flow — similar to fashion trends. 'As with fashion, baby names follow emotional and aesthetic cycles — and as collective tastes shift, so do our naming desires.' However, despite old-school names like Eloise and Margaret making a comeback, Liam and Olivia remain two of the most popular names for the youngins, according to the Social Security Administration. Liam has held the No. 1 spot for boys' names for eight years in a row. Olivia has held that title for the girls for the last six. Emma and Noah came in at No. 2 for the sixth year in a row.
