The 55-year-old wrote of JoJo, 17: ‘I always knew the world would be a more colorful, positive, sparkly place with a kind, loving, dazzling triple threat like you in it – a shining example for the kids out there to live their BEST lives each and every day.’ 

She continued: ‘You put your heart on the platter! (If you know you know) Love you kiddo!!! Keep making me proud.’

JoJo appeared in seasons five and six of Dance Moms, and she’s since remained close to Miller, who’s been wheelchair-bound since she had spinal surgery after being diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma in April of 2018.

The Masked Singer contestant told Us Weekly last May: ‘I think Abby got hurt by a lot of people and it’s really, really, really sad that a lot of the people don’t talk to her anymore.

‘I think humans are awesome. I think humans are really incredible people. I want to keep things in my life private before they’re ready to become public. I’m the happiest that I’ve ever been. And that’s what matters.’

When another fan asked how long she’d been part of the LGBTQ community, she responded: ‘I don’t know. I think my whole life. Because my whole life, I’ve really really been, I just liked people, but I have never fallen in love before. 

‘But I always believed that my person was just going to be my person. If that person happened to be a boy, great! And if that person happened to be a girl, great! I think I’m just really happy. I think in life you know when you meet your person, I really do.’ 

She also revealed that her parents have known for a while: ‘My parents have known. My mom said she’s known for the last two years. She’s like, “I just know with you!” Around two years ago, she was like, “I don’t think you only like boys, that’s totally okay.” They’ve always been so everything… My family is awesome.’

JoJo addressed their split in her coming out video: ‘People in life break up. People as teenagers break up, you have a boyfriend or you have a girlfriend when you’re six years old and you break up with them, you’re not with them for forever. I was a teenager, I still am a teenager but I think I’m pretty happy now. I’m pretty good now.’
