Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Entertainer JoJo Siwa has a new love in her life: TikTok celebrity Avery Cyrus. Fans are divided between well-wishers and those who took umbrage at how quickly Cyrus moved on from her last relationship, according to UK newspaper the Daily Mail.
The Mail detailed that Siwa, 19, announced the new romance on Sept. 12, posting that she was the "happiest girl" and sharing video of herself and Cyrus laughing and kissing in a photo booth.

"There is no question that Siwa and Cyrus are smitten," the Mail said.
"The video came a day after Cyrus, 22, shared a series of photos with Siwa on Instagram captioned: 'Bestest photo dump ever,'" the Mail noted. "She also posted a video to her 7.9 million TikTok followers which showed her traveling all the way from Florida to Los Angeles to give Siwa a snuggle."
Some fans disapproved of how quickly Cyrus seemed to bounce back after the end of her previous relationship, the Mail reported, observing that "several people questioned the timing: 'Has it even been a month?', 'this all happened so fast #teamsoph' and 'at least keep it private a few more months to let her heal,'" the comments said.

A third erupted with: "WAIT SINCE WHEM"
"Avery had previously dated another TikTok star, Soph Mosca, for two years and the young social media starlets even lived together," the Mail recalled. Cyrus and Mosca "announced their split in early August and JoJo started appearing more frequently on Avery's TikTok feed not long after though it's unclear when things turned romantic."
Other fans focused on how happy the new couple seemed.
"Idk tbh they really just make since in my mind," one follower wrote. "They are goofy, loud, fun people. I think they mesh well," they said.
Siwa followed up on the photo booth share in short order with a clip of the couple showing off a dance routine.
"My favorite video... @averycyrus face just SO happy," Siwa posted.
