ABC also reportedly revealed that Jojo will make Dancing with the Stars history by partnering with a female professional partner on Season 30.
Both girls are 18 years old and ABC has yet to unveil their DWTS partners for this fall's edition of the reality dancing competition.
Jojo found fame on social media in 2016 and went on to become a singer and Dance Moms star.
Jojo is reportedly going to star in The J Team, a new live-action musical for Paramount+, for which she'll also serve as an executive producer.
Suni represented USA at the Tokyo Olympics as a member of the Team USA gymnasts earlier this summer.
The Minnesota native walked away from the Olympics with three medals, including a gold medal in the women's all-around competition.
Suni also won a silver medal and a bronze medal and plans to attend college soon at the University of Alabama as an incoming freshman, according to Us Weekly.
The remaining 13 celebrities who will be competing on Dancing with the Stars' 30th season will be announced on Good Morning America on Wednesday, September 8.
