It's everything I think anybody wants in life
0:02
is to feel this way, and then to be treated this way, and then to make a family this way
0:08
And we have very fun things ahead of us. Hi, I am Jo Deciwa, and this is No Filter With Heart
0:17
Growing up in the public eye for me, it's all I know, and so it just was my life
0:22
You know, I think a lot of times people sort of come to fame or come to the public eye
0:28
at an older age so they have this whole life and then you know all of a sudden you're 20 21 and
0:33
all of a sudden boom people know who you are but for me it was very i was very young and so i don't
0:39
know i think that it made it a little easier on me i guess i mean i had a great life i have a great
0:45
life so i would say i would say it was good did me good i'll take it i don't know there's loads
0:51
of memories i'm excited one day to feel like see like what do i tell my kids about dance songs you
0:57
You know what I mean? Like, what will I end up telling them? What stories will I tell them? What will I remember when I tell them
1:02
I'm excited to find that out. Honestly, for me, navigating everything publicly
1:08
just kind of happened. I didn't ever really think about it. I just kind of did and hoped for the best, I guess
1:17
I don't know. I think, like, when it comes to my sexuality, I never questioned who I loved
1:25
I just kind of the first person that I love happened to be a girl and beautiful
1:30
You know, she she's a she's a great girl. She was my best friend
1:35
And then, yeah, we became more than friends. We had a lovely nine month long relationship and that ended and it ended and we're still
1:43
homies like it's fine. We're friendly like it's all good. And so I I don't know
1:47
I think like that that part of me was I never questioned it
1:52
And I think now that kind of is the same way that I am now. I think a lot of times people question why I don't question myself right now, but why would you question love
2:01
Why would you question who you are Why would you question your happiness I think I was very lucky I guess that my family created that environment for me where i felt as i could i think big brother for me was more just fun you know what i mean i think
2:17
that i i i learned a lot about my life and things that i was not happy with and things that i was
2:25
okay with that i shouldn't have been okay with and stuff like that but i don't know i think i just
2:29
I just had fun. It's so much fun. It's very interesting. I mean, if you think about it, right
2:37
Like Christopher and I had nobody essentially, right? We only had each other in that house
2:44
And it's almost as if the world stopped for three weeks. All of our family stopped, all of our friends stopped
2:52
all of our work stopped. And the only thing we had was 11 other people, right
2:57
That's it. and it was like everything else we knew stopped and we only really had each other and it almost
3:03
feels as if the universe was like so specifically designed to do that for us i mean it's it's
3:09
it's beautiful to look back at how it all worked out beautiful listen here's one thing that i've learned right welcome to the internet here's internet 101 for
3:20
you for the day nobody sees everything nobody knows everything nobody sees every post every
3:25
comment anything there's two ways right there's you can take the high road and be the bigger person
3:32
and just swallow it but there's also a point where you do have to stand up for yourself sometimes and
3:37
you have to make sure that people aren't saying things about you that aren't true and so i mean
3:41
look navigating anything's hard but you get through it and days pass no matter what there's 24 hours
3:46
in a day i think i'm lucky that i'm just chiller i never once questioned the love that i ended up
3:55
having for him or i never i never felt like oh i'm not allowed to feel this love that i'm having
4:01
for this person just because he's a man and just because i've the whole point of sexuality the whole
4:07
point of gender identity it fluid anybody will tell you that that isn that isn gay 101 right the community is all about loving and accepting and and love is love and love who you want to love but i don know it it hard it tough because i understand that
4:24
people have a lot of opinions and it's fun to have opinions and i totally understand that but i think
4:29
what upsets me right is that it doesn't affect me but it affects other people who see it right
4:35
it affects other people who see oh older people in the community are mad at jojo because you know
4:42
she she she fell for a man oh you know what I mean like that's that's gonna scare some other
4:47
people and so that's where it kind of cautions cautions me but I don't know I think I think love
4:52
can be so undeniable and when when I have the most beautiful love in front of me and I'm the happiest
4:59
I mean I I turn my phone off at night and the opinions are irrelevant and it doesn't matter at
5:05
all because I fall asleep and I have the greatest man by my side and yeah I think that life is about
5:11
finding love with a person. I don't think it matters if it's a girl, if it's a boy, if it's a non-binary person
5:17
I think any love is beautiful. And if you're lucky enough to experience a love like this
5:21
with any gender, don't withhold yourself from it. It's the most magical feeling in the world
5:28
I pester him about it. We pester each other about it. The thing about Christopher and I is how we met
5:34
it accelerates your relationship like no other, right? Just on a friendship dynamic
5:39
And then all of a sudden we realized, hey, like, clearly we are, clearly we like each other more than friends here, a lot more than
5:46
friends, and yeah, I don't know, I think, I think, I think we have a beautiful future ahead, and I
5:52
think it's very fast, and it's very quick, but it feels so right, and it, I can't explain it
6:00
but we have a very fun, fun, fun things ahead of us that I'm, I'm looking forward to, I mean, look
6:06
it's everything I think anybody wants in life is to feel this way and then to be treated this way
6:12
and then to make a family this way and have your own little family this way and our families get
6:17
along with each other and so it like we like one big family it it it gorgeous I mean my family adores him his family also adores me yesterday chris was having a moment and um the only way to kind of get him out of this moment was to wrestle him and
6:33
so i did and i won and he has this shoulder that he's claiming he's dislocated right now
6:39
it's not and uh his whole family was in the room by the way and and uh so i won this wrestle
6:45
clearly and i walk around the corner and i just feel his dad tap me and i was like oh god oh boy
6:50
I messed up. And his dad goes, it gives me a fist bump
6:54
And I was like, oh, I'm in, I'm in. I got the fist bump of approval
6:59
He thinks I have a very bad English accent. I prefer to say that I have a very good English accent
7:05
I can impersonate Chris very well. He doesn't think that I can, but I can impersonate him pretty well
7:09
So what would he say? He, oh, I'm good at saying this
7:13
He goes like this, he goes, he does the thing with his shoulders
7:17
And he goes, Bubba Brew? Bubba make me brew? And he's asking me to make him a tea
7:23
He's saying Bubba Brew. What else does he say? He'll say, babe, this is literally the best food
7:32
I've ever had in my life. It's literally the best food I've ever had in my life. I have never had something so good
7:39
Oh, watch this. You ready for this one? Do I know about Chris's singing career
