In the latest episode of Celebrity Big Brother, JoJo Siwa, 21, has found herself in an emotional whirlwind, analyzing a note from her partner, Kath Ebbs, that has sparked curiosity among viewers. The American singer and dancer, who has formed a close friendship with Love Island star Chris Hughes, expressed her feelings about missing Kath during a poignant moment on the show aired on April 24, 2025.
JoJo received letters from her mother and her partner, with the latter's message reading: "The most important thing to tell you is a message from Kath because I know you really miss them the most. Kath's keen to see you when you get out." This note struck a chord with JoJo, who later confided in fellow contestant Jack P Shepherd about her feelings of anxiety regarding the message. "I'm finding myself really analysing that note and I don't like it," she admitted, revealing her internal conflict over the words.
Chris Hughes, who was chosen to read the letter, shared his emotional response in the diary room, stating, "I nearly started crying before I said anything, just where it said, 'Dear JoJo'. It was an honour to read out her letter." His sentiments reflect the deep connections formed within the Big Brother house, where housemates often rely on each other for support.
JoJo has openly discussed her struggles with missing Kath, saying, "I think I've tried to keep myself distracted from missing sweet Kath. I said goodbye to them at the airport and it was a really hard goodbye. God, I love that little sucker. I do." However, she also expressed her frustration over the note's lack of affection, saying, "I do have beef to pick with them though, they didn't even say in the note that they love me. I will not let them live that down." This playful yet serious remark highlights the pressure JoJo feels in navigating her relationship while being in the public eye.
Throughout the season, JoJo's friendship with Chris has raised eyebrows, especially as she has been accused of being too close to him, leading to online criticism directed at Kath. Despite the scrutiny, JoJo has maintained that Kath is not bothered by her friendship with Chris, saying, "I kind of love it. It feels like a child. Like a baby." This comment suggests that JoJo finds comfort and security in her bond with Chris, which she feels fills a gap left by her family.
Earlier in the series, JoJo made headlines when she opened up about her sexuality, revealing that she no longer identifies strictly as a lesbian but as queer. This revelation came during a heartfelt conversation with fellow contestant Danny Beard, where she stated, "I've never - I think I've always told myself, I'm a lesbian. I think being here - I've realized I am not a lesbian, I'm queer. And I think that's really cool, I'm switching letters! I've dropped the L and I've gone to the Q baby! That's what I love about sexuality." This shift in identity has resonated with many viewers and has sparked discussions about fluidity in sexual orientation.
JoJo's journey has not been without controversy; earlier in the season, she faced homophobic remarks from former contestant Mickey Rourke, who was expelled from the show for his behavior. Rourke's comments were not only offensive but also highlighted the challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face in public spaces. JoJo stood her ground, telling Rourke, "That's homophobic, if that was your reasoning," during a heated exchange.
Meanwhile, Kath, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, has been supportive of JoJo's journey. In a previous interview, Kath expressed their views on sexual fluidity, stating, "I think it's really important to allow fluidity to come out of the conversation because I think a lot of people that come out as queer or are queer or are exploring their sexuality feel like they have to pick one thing, one label and stick to it." Kath's perspective aligns with JoJo's recent identification as queer, emphasizing the importance of embracing one's identity without the constraints of traditional labels.
As the series approaches its finale, scheduled for April 25, 2025, the dynamics within the house continue to evolve. JoJo's relationship with Kath remains strong despite external pressures, and both partners have expressed their commitment to each other. JoJo has mentioned that Kath plans to fly to the UK to support her during the final, showcasing their dedication to one another.
However, the couple has faced challenges, including online harassment targeting Kath, who has had to disable comments on social media due to cruel accusations of infidelity. Despite this, JoJo remains optimistic about their relationship, stating, "I don’t know what will happen after this, but I know we’ll still be in each other’s lives." This sentiment reflects a hopeful outlook amid the chaos of reality television.
As the final approaches, viewers are left to wonder how JoJo's evolving identity and relationships will play out on screen. With her newfound sense of self and the support of her partner, JoJo Siwa's journey on Celebrity Big Brother has become a significant narrative about love, identity, and the complexities of modern relationships.
