Big announcement coming ahead of the upcoming season of 'Dancing With the Stars.' This year for the first-ever time the popular show will feature a same-sex partnership in history. According to a daily leading entertainment site, pop star JoJo Siwa will become part of the first same-sex couple on the show.

The beauty will be paired with a female professional dancer. She said that this chance is really special for her because not only now did she get to share with the world that she will get to love who and want to love, but also to get a dance with whom she wants to dance. She added "There's a lot of barriers that we're going to have to break through -- who leads, how do you dress, what shoes do you wear? But I think it's all something that I'm looking forward to. It's going to be tricky, but it's going to give so much to people out there, people of the LGBTQ community, people who feel just a little different. It's going to give them a sense of happiness," Siwa said.

For the unversed, Siwa came out as a member of the LGBTQ community in January this year. Olympian gymnast Suni Lee will also participate in the 29th edition of 'Dancing With the Stars'.
