These days, Dance Moms alum JoJo Siwa is saving her tears for her pillow and any details about her love life for her closest friends -- not the nearly 46 million fans who live for every update she shares to TikTok.

"You f--k up and you put things in public that you shouldn't be," the self-described "CEO of Gay Pop" explained to E! News in an exclusive interview at the 11th Annual American Reality Television Awards Nov. 18, the same day she confirmed that she'd ended her three-month romance with So You Think You Can Dance runner-up Dakayla Wilson. "Unfortunately, that's the only way that you learn sometimes. And I've had to learn some hard lessons, but they've paid off in the end."

So, no, the "Iced Coffee" singer won't be letting any secrets drip out about her connection to Kath Ebbs, the Australian actor and content creator she was recently seen picking up from Los Angeles International Airport.
