JoJo Siwa Addresses Misconceptions Surrounding Her Breakup with Kath Ebbs
JoJo Siwa is taking a moment to clarify the circumstances surrounding her breakup from Kath Ebbs, aiming to clear up any misunderstandings that have arisen.
The talented 21-year-old reality star shared her thoughts candidly during a recent episode of The Viall Files podcast, where she opened up about various topics including the drama from Celebrity Big Brother UK and the reasons behind her decision to end her relationship with Ebbs.
“I am genuinely happy with where I am right now, and I simply want to remain here,” she expressed to host Nick Viall. “Whatever that means, whatever form that takes, I feel great at this moment.”
On April 26, Ebbs, aged 27, first made the breakup public through a TikTok video, leading to rampant speculation that Siwa’s close friendship with Love Island star Chris Hughes may have played a role in their split.

“Clearly, many people assume that Chris has something to do with it,” Siwa, who previously identified as a lesbian but came out as queer during filming, stated. “However, Chris has absolutely nothing to do with our breakup. He and I are friends, and we have a very, very nice friendship.”
Delving deeper into her experience on Celebrity Big Brother UK, Siwa described her bond with Chris as the “perfect recipe to forge a best friend,” as both of them connected over the shared exhaustion that comes from the continuous pressure of being “on” 24/7 in the house.
“That was a moment when I truly realized, ‘Oh, we are alike,’” Siwa reflected. “It was during that time that I understood him very well. He was there for me during my lowest moments in the house.”

Although Siwa didn’t reveal every detail about her split from Ebbs, she did mention that the issues in their relationship began well before she started filming the popular reality show.
Siwa recounted a tense exchange she had with Ebbs at the wrap party for Big Brother UK, highlighting the strain their relationship was under.
“Suddenly, we’re at the wrap party for Big Brother, and I’m getting cornered,” JoJo recalled. “I understand that they’re upset and coming at me. However, I keep reiterating, ‘I’m not in a position to talk right now.’”
She then revealed that Ebbs bluntly asked her if she wanted to “end things.” JoJo’s response was, “If you ask me tomorrow, I don’t know what my answer will be. If you ask me right now, my answer is yes.”

While Ebbs made her own statements in a lengthy TikTok video, Siwa insisted that her ex understands the true reasons behind their breakup, which she emphasized had nothing to do with Chris Hughes.
“Kath posted a video essentially suggesting that Chris and I are the reasons we broke up. That is simply not true. That’s not the reality,” Siwa clarified. “They know that, and I know that.”
She continued, “There are so many reasons why things didn’t work out. I understand that Chris and I are very close, but please don’t portray it as if I cheated on you with him because I did not.”
“I will stand firm on that point,” Siwa asserted emphatically.
