JoJo Siwa is no stranger to controversy. Earlier this year, she launched her rebrand, pivoting from the kid-friendly music she was creating before. Now, the Dance Moms alum has opened up about how she wants to start a family, and her pregnancy plans are also controversial.
The 21-year-old singer, dancer, and media personality appeared in a video for Cosmopolitan's "If It Were Me" series, and some of her responses were quite surprising. JoJo spoke about how she wants to have at least three kids, and she has already selected names for them: Freddie, Eddie, and Teddie.
In the video, she was asked how she would respond if she and her hypothetical wife wanted to have children, but her wife hated the baby names JoJo has picked out.
JoJo seemed to know her answer right away. "I would break up with her," JoJo said without hesitating. "Divorce."
However, it seems as though it wouldn't necessarily get to this point for JoJo, as she also said that she talks about these plans that she has early on in new relationships.
"That is something that I talk about very early on with partners," she said. "I’m like, 'Just so you know, there are three children. Their names are Freddie, Eddie, and Teddie.'"
She's open to having more, but she insists on having Freddie, Eddie, and Teddie.
She continued by explaining that when speaking to new partners, she also tells them that she "will have as many more as you want, however many more, but F.E.T. is coming, and they will be here in three years, whether you like it or not."
"Those are my nuggets and no one comes before my nuggets," she added.
In February, JoJo told Access Hollywood that she she already has tattoos dedicated to her hypothetical future children, Freddie, Eddie, and Teddie.
"I want three babies. I've got a sperm donor lined up," she said at the time.

Her pregnancy plans are unconventional.
While it seems like she has already given family planning a lot of thought, the way she says she wants to go about having children was concerning to some social media users.
In the Cosmopolitan video, JoJo explained that she is "gay as s—" so "I have to plan a pregnancy much different than a straight person."
There are multiple ways in which lesbian couples can build a family, such as through intrauterine insemination, IVF, adoption, or surrogacy. But JoJo's preference came as a surprise to many.
JoJo wants to have triplets — kind of.
"I actually want to take three eggs, fertilize three eggs, and have three surrogates, so, technically, they’ll all be the same batch, but they would all be born separately," she explained.
"I’m going to have my surrogates, my babies, then maybe the little birthdays will land on different days, and they can be like triplets, but like not," she continued.
People reacted to her hypothetical plans.
People who reacted to JoJo's comments were not super supportive of her hypothetical plans.
One person on YouTube called the plans "extremely irresponsible" and wrote "I hope she's joking because she doesn't sound very informed."
"Freddie Eddie and Teddie in different surrogates at the same time is out of control," another person commented.
