As for a routine that was a turning point for Siwa personally, Johnson pointed to their rumba during the Janet Jackson-themed episode as \"a moment where everyone got to see JoJo as a woman and not a teenager anymore.\"
Johnson, who has been married to fellow \"DWTS\" pro Val Chmerkovskiy since 2019, said one of the \"life lessons\" she has learned from her time with the Nickelodeon star and YouTube personality is centered around \"joy.\"
\"It's crazy that someone so much younger than you can teach you more than you can teach them,\" she joked. \"I think the most powerful thing I have learned from her is to have joy every day. She treats every moment like it's the best one yet, and she's present and doesn't take one second for granted. That has been something I needed to learn and grow at.\"
