In a dramatic turn of events, JoJo Siwa's relationship with Kath Ebbs has come to an unexpected end following the conclusion of the latest season of Celebrity Big Brother. Siwa, who finished third in the competition, reportedly left Ebbs feeling "humiliated" after breaking up during the wrap party on April 25, 2025. The split has sent shockwaves through fans and followers, particularly given the close bond Siwa formed with fellow contestant Chris Hughes during the show.
Chris Hughes, a Love Island star, became emotional during the Celebrity Big Brother final as he compared Siwa to his ex-girlfriend. Both contestants had garnered significant attention throughout the season, with Hughes finishing in sixth place. Their friendship sparked speculation among viewers, many of whom interpreted their interactions as more than just platonic.
According to Ebbs, the breakup occurred after a heated argument over Siwa's relationship with Hughes. In a heartfelt video posted on social media, Ebbs expressed their shock and disorientation at the sudden end of their relationship. "I don’t even know where to begin. I’m filming this in a complete state of shock, which I know is probably distressing and giving, ‘Go have a sleep’,” they said. “But I feel so numbed out right now and so disoriented that I feel like the only thing I have to do to place this situation 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 that it involved.”
Ebbs detailed their feelings of being "lovebombed" throughout Siwa’s time on the show, indicating they felt manipulated by excessive affection that ultimately led to confusion and hurt. "It seems to me I have experienced a version of love bombing. Being told I’m the love of someone’s life, being asked to marry them before this social experiment," they revealed.
During the afterparty, which followed the live finale, Ebbs stated they were dumped unexpectedly. "Before I could even get back to the hotel, I went to the afterparty with my now ex, and was dumped in the party. I was told there were confused feelings there and they had realized in the house I wasn’t the person they wanted to spend the foreseeable with,” Ebbs recounted.
In contrast, JoJo Siwa appeared to celebrate her third-place finish at the afterparty, choosing to stay and party with guests, including Hughes, while Ebbs left the venue alone, visibly upset. The dynamics of Siwa's interactions with Hughes during the show had already raised eyebrows, with moments that included playful banter and flirtation, such as hot tub scenes and massages.
Siwa had previously expressed her gratitude towards Hughes, stating, "I’m so incredibly grateful for him, he has helped me have my hard times in this house, he’s helped me get through them, but more importantly, he has helped me create my happiest times in this house. He is more than a friend, he is just such a special guy, I’m so lucky." This declaration added fuel to the speculation surrounding their relationship.
Interestingly, Siwa also made headlines during the show for her evolving views on her sexuality. After being called out by another contestant regarding her behavior with Hughes, she announced that she no longer identifies as a lesbian. This revelation, combined with her close friendship with Hughes, has led to a flurry of discussions online about her identity and relationships.
Siwa and Ebbs began their romance after Siwa traveled to Australia for the TikTok Awards, shortly after her split from dancer Dakayla Wilson. The swift progression of Siwa's relationships has left many fans concerned and confused about her emotional well-being.
As the dust settles from the Celebrity Big Brother finale, both Siwa and Ebbs are left to navigate the aftermath of their public split. The emotional toll of reality television combined with the scrutiny of social media has created a complex landscape for both individuals. While Siwa continues to enjoy the spotlight, Ebbs is left to grapple with feelings of betrayal and confusion.
The fallout from this breakup serves as a reminder of the pressures faced by public figures in the age of social media, where every relationship is examined under a microscope. Fans are left wondering how this will impact Siwa’s future endeavors and what lies ahead for both her and Ebbs as they move on from this chapter in their lives.
As the story unfolds, it will be interesting to see how both Siwa and Ebbs respond to the challenges of their newfound single status and whether they will address the speculation surrounding their relationships openly. For now, the world watches closely, eager to see what the next twist in this unfolding narrative will be.
