JoJo Siwa just experienced an emotional revelation thanks to a sweet compliment from her boyfriend, Chris Hughes. In a clip shared across her social media profiles on July 24, the “Karma” singer burst into tears as Chris told her she had a “really good hairline.” The comment struck a chord with the former child star, as she revealed the feature used to be the “number one thing” she was once bullied for in the public eye.

“I’m drying my hair right now, and he goes, ‘You have a really good hairline.’ That’s the number one thing I was bullied for as a child,” JoJo said in the video as she wiped away her tears. The Love Island alum then reassured her and doubled down on his compliment, as he hugged her, saying, “I love you. You have a really good hairline, it’s got so much hair.”

Despite popular belief that her signature high ponytail caused a bald spot and a receding hairline, the reality TV personality clarified that a “stress rash” from her Dance Moms days had actually formed on her head in 2022.

“No, it’s actually not from the ponytails, because if it was from my ponytails—considering it went on this side—it would be this,” she said in a TikTok clip at the time. “When I was little, I had a really bad stress rash right here on Dance Moms, and I would pick at it all day long.” JoJo added, “I damaged every single hair follicle that has ever been right there.”

Three years later, JoJo reflected on her vulnerable moment with Chris. Alongside her emotional post, she wrote, “He had no idea of the 2017-2020 hairline memes that I’m not affected by on the daily anymore, but him saying this out of thin air literally finished healing a part of me.”

“It’s almost like I had a band aid over it for the last 8 years and just was leaving it there scared to look under it to see if it’s healed,” she continued. “He removed it being like why do u have this on before I could even explain what it was. Lucky lucky girl I am. Don’t even think I realize how lucky sometimes.”
