On Friday, July 11, 2025, JoJo Siwa dropped her studio version of “Bette Davis Eyes” (Kim Carnes’ 1981 New Wave hit). She debuted it following a viral live performance in London, serving up vintage vibes with a bouffy blonde wig and retro flair. Fans went wild during the live show, and Siwa vowed to “honor the original while adding her personal touch.”
But oh-ho! Original singer Kim Carnes wasn’t exactly sending bouquets — she posted a TikTok hinting at concerns over authenticity, though later deleted it. So what’s up with Carnes? JoJo’s take is bold, confident, and a tad cheeky — just sooo like our Siwa.
Baby? What Baby?
But just as JoJo’s sultry cover of “Bette Davis Eyes” started making waves, fans got hit with a surprise twist. Rumors exploded after a viral TikTok with beau Chris Hughes gently rubbing JoJo’s tummy while enjoying a snack board. The timing sparked instant baby bump speculation — blurring the lines between music promo and maybe-mama drama. Cue the fan frenzy: is JoJo preggers?
JoJo clapped back with impeccable style — TikTok’s “Two Truths and a Lie”. One statement was, “I’m pregnant.” Guess what? It was a LIE. She confirmed that pregnancy wasn’t the truth — just fodder for friendly speculation amid her new song promotion.
She’s not shy about motherhood dreams, though. JoJo’s suggests that she’s interested in becoming a parent via surrogacy — dreaming big with names like Freddie, Eddie, and Teddie in mind. But no bump IRL… yet.
JoJo’s TikTok game was strong! Fans praised her “unbothered energy” and wit:
“I aspire to be as unbothered as JoJo Siwa.”
“All the hate and here she is swinging around on her chair, beautiful, beaming with happiness … unbothered energy!”
Some felt her playing with pregnancy rumors was “tone-deaf,” especially given 2023 comedic pregnancy pranks involving baby clothes donations.
But many fans countered that it’s satire, people. So there it is, babe — a juicy dose of Siwa and BTW, absolutely not preggo For now 😉
