JoJo Siwa’s partner, Kath Ebbs, has opened up about feeling "numbed out" and "humiliated" after being dumped by the Dance Moms star just hours after the finale of Celebrity Big Brother. The emotional fallout from their relationship has captivated fans and sparked widespread discussion online.
During the reality show's final on April 25, 2025, JoJo Siwa finished in third place after forming a close bond with Love Island star Chris Hughes. This relationship, filled with flirtation and intimacy, has raised eyebrows among viewers and left Kath feeling blindsided.
In a heartfelt video posted to Instagram on April 26, Kath, 27, expressed their shock at the sudden end of their relationship, stating, "I honestly feel so numbed out right now and so disoriented that the only thing I have to do is to finally address it after two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person it involved." Kath described their experience with JoJo as one of "love bombing," where they felt overwhelmed with affection and proposals of marriage before the show.
"Being told that I’m the love of someone's life, being asked to marry them before this social experiment, being adored behind closed doors... I guess in an odd way, I don’t know if I’ve processed it enough to even call it love bombing or whatever," they explained. Kath shared that despite their hopes of working through the issues that arose during the show, they were met with further humiliation.
After flying to the UK to support JoJo during the live finale, Kath attended the afterparty only to be unexpectedly dumped. "Before I could even get back to the hotel, I went to the afterparty with my, I guess now ex, and was dumped in the party," they recounted. "I was told that there are confused feelings there, and they had realized in the house that I wasn't the person they wanted to spend the foreseeable future with." This revelation left Kath feeling not only shocked but also embarrassed.
JoJo, 21, had been at the center of attention during her time on Celebrity Big Brother, with her flirtatious relationship with Chris Hughes becoming a major talking point among fans and fellow contestants. Their interactions included cuddling in bed and playful moments in a hot tub, leading to speculation about their relationship crossing romantic boundaries.
Even before the show, JoJo had hinted at a close bond with Kath, discussing marriage and expressing deep affection. However, as the show progressed, it became clear that her feelings may have shifted. JoJo had previously stated that she thought Kath "wouldn't care" about her relationship with Chris, but the reality was far more complicated.
During the finale, Kath was reportedly backstage, refusing to reunite with JoJo on camera, which fueled speculation about the state of their relationship. After JoJo's third-place finish, she celebrated with friends and co-stars, appearing carefree while Kath left the afterparty alone, dressed in black and visibly upset.
In her TikTok post following the finale, JoJo hinted at wanting to stay in the UK, seemingly unfazed by the fallout from her relationship with Kath. She shared her excitement about her British fans, saying, "I've stayed awake all night seeing the love from you beautiful Britts!" However, she did not address her breakup with Kath directly in her social media posts.
As the news of their split spread, fans took to social media to express their support for Kath, with many commenting on the emotional toll of watching JoJo's relationship with Chris play out on television. One supporter wrote, "I’m fuming for you. Karma IS a b*tch, let her cook," while another said, "I have followed you for years. You were far too good for this person anyways. You have left with dignity sending love."
The situation has sparked discussions about relationships in the public eye, particularly regarding the pressures faced by individuals in reality television. Kath's experience highlights the emotional complexities that can arise when personal relationships are put on display for millions to see.
As for JoJo, her journey on Celebrity Big Brother has not only been a significant chapter in her career but also a moment of self-discovery. During her time on the show, she revealed that she no longer identifies strictly as a lesbian, stating that the term "queer" better encompasses her sexuality.
In the aftermath of the show, the future of JoJo and Kath's relationship remains uncertain. While JoJo is moving forward with her newfound fame and friendships, Kath is left to navigate the emotional fallout of a relationship that has drawn both admiration and scrutiny from fans. Their story serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those in the public eye, where love and heartbreak can unfold under the watchful gaze of millions.
As the dust settles, both JoJo and Kath will need to find their paths forward, each carrying the lessons learned from their time together and the experiences shared in the spotlight.
