JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs have split after Siwa came to a realization about her sexuality while competing on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Siwa, 21, who had previously identified as a lesbian, told co-star Danny Beard, "I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer," explaining that her time on the show helped her understand her true feelings.

The breakup reportedly occurred at the show’s afterparty, where Ebbs, who is non-binary, shared in a now-deleted TikTok that Siwa told them she had “confused feelings” and no longer saw a future with them. Ebbs, 24, expressed feeling humiliated and betrayed, especially after seeing Siwa get flirty with Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, on the show.
Throughout their time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Siwa and Hughes were seen engaging in playful and flirty behavior, including cuddling, kissing, and even licking chocolate off Hughes’ shorts. Siwa later told Hughes, “The love that I’ve gained for you in this building is insane,” further adding to the tension.
Despite the heartbreak, both Siwa and Hughes maintained that their relationship was purely platonic, with Hughes explaining that they were just "messing around" and having fun as friends.
Siwa’s relationship with Ebbs had been publicly confirmed in January, just months before Siwa entered the Big Brother house. At the time, Siwa described her relationship as "mature" and "beautiful." The breakup marks a significant moment in Siwa’s personal journey, especially with her newfound understanding of her sexuality.
