Siwa responded by confessing that she didn’t know the answer to the question. However, she revealed that she was thrilled and wanted to open up to the world and preferred keeping things private.

The former “Dance Moms” star explained how she would share things in public when she’s ready. She shared how she supported people to love who they wanted to love and know others were there.

However, she did note that coming out was different for everyone because of the stigma surrounding it. The reality star stated how this wasn’t the end because more people were accepting it and loving those who came out.

Another fan asked her about the conversations she’s had regarding her sexual orientation. The dancer admitted that her mother had known about her orientation for the past two years.
