Hours after leaving Big Brother, JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs split. Now, Kath has spoken.

Following weeks of speculation and tension, JoJo Siwa has officially ended her relationship with Kath Ebbs amid rumours of a connection between JoJo and fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant Chris Hughes.

JoJo allegedly "dumped" Kath during the CBB after-party following the season finale. And according to Kath… it's a mess.

Following their split, Kath took to social media to share what happened and their perspective on watching their then-partner's behaviour unfold on national television.

"I'm filming this in a complete state of shock," Kath said in a now-deleted TikTok video. "After two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person that it involved."

"I was dumped at the after-party," Kath said, "with Chris in the next room."

Kath even confirmed that all the "emotional cheating" and "the over-crossing of boundaries" that occurred on the show was "not fabricated". They also said that prior to entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, JoJo had supposedly proposed to Kath.

"Being told that I'm the love of someone's life," they said, "being asked to marry them before this social experiment, being adored throughout behind closed doors, being hurt by what I saw, but wanting to work through it and have a conversation and get clarity, and to be met with, being, I guess, further humiliated in a weird way," they said.

All in all, the situation has been messy, to say the least. Here's a breakdown of the romance rumours that rocked CBB this year.

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes' time on CBB.

During their stint on Celebrity Big Brother, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes appeared to form a close bond that raised eyebrows amongst both housemates and viewers. The pair were frequently spotted having intimate conversations, with several moments of apparent flirtation catching the attention of the cameras — and the viewers.

Their connection seemed to intensify as the competition progressed, with other housemates commenting on their chemistry. Several late-night conversations and playful interactions between the two led to growing speculation about the nature of their relationship, including one evening when they even appeared to be cuddling in bed together.

In one particular instance, JoJo was left confused and upset after receiving a cryptic message from Kath in a letter sent by her mother, Jessalynn. The situation clearly affected the singer, who later gave Chris a very mysterious response when he asked if she was okay, simply stating: "Give me 48 hours".

Many interpreted this to be a nod to the finale of the show, meaning that JoJo was hinting at speaking to Chris off-camera after the show concluded.

Viewer speculation.

As the episodes aired, social media platforms exploded with commentary about JoJo and Chris. Hashtags related to the potential couple began trending, with fans dissecting every interaction between the two.

One night in particular, while everyone was sleeping, JoJo appeared to be "writing notes on Chris' hand" while in bed, which is against the rules of the house. JoJo and Chris told Big Brother that they had been discussing her gender identity. But later, when speaking to the other housemates about the situation, JoJo claimed that the conversation was about her sexuality — not her gender identity.

Immediately, viewers started to speculate that JoJo had traced "NB", for "non-binary" or "BI" for "bisexual" on Chris' hand. But given all the noise about their close relationship, many believed it was the latter.

Throughout the show's run, and as JoJo and Chris got seemingly closer, many viewers expressed concern for Kath Ebbs, as JoJo's behaviour with Chris appeared to cross boundaries that made some uncomfortable.

Others online were more supportive of the potential new connection between JoJo and Chris, claiming that JoJo appeared to be happy when interacting with Chris on the show.

Who is Kath Ebbs?

Kath Ebbs, JoJo's now ex-partner, had maintained a relatively low profile before this public breakup. The couple had been together for several months prior to JoJo entering the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Kath Ebbs is an Australian actor and social media personality who made history in 2022 when they were cast as Asher Nesmith in the long-running Australian soap opera Neighbours. This was a groundbreaking moment for Australian television, as Kath portrayed the show's first-ever non-binary character during their three-episode appearance.

Beyond their pioneering work on Neighbours, Kath has established themselves as a notable presence on social media platforms, particularly TikTok. They gained additional public attention in early 2025 when they began dating JoJo. The couple was first spotted together in Sydney in late 2024 when JoJo visited Australia for the TikTok Awards, and they later made their relationship public through social media posts.

The aftermath of this reality TV love triangle continues to unfold, with fans eagerly awaiting further statements from all parties involved.
