JoJo Siwa’s partner Kath reveals they have been DUMPED by the CBB star despite ‘discussing marriage’ before show
JOJO Siwa’s partner Kath Ebbs has revealed they have been dumped by the CBB star just hours after the series finale.
Taking to Instagram this afternoon, Aussie content creator Kath, 27, said they were in “complete shock” and felt “numbed out and humiliated”.
In an emotional video, they claimed JoJo, 21, had discussed marriage before the series began and accused the US star of “lovebombing” after she called them “the love of her life”.
They captioned the upload, “Egg on me I guess,” and were inundated with supportive messages from fans.
From the beginning of the series until last night’s final, Kath witnessed JoJo and Chris Hughes’ increasingly intimate and tactile behaviour.
There were nightly cuddles in bed, slow dancing and even canoodling in a hot tub all of which raised eyebrows among viewers and housemates.
Drag Race UK star Danny Beard even warned them: “You two need to either f**k or stop.”
Kath said they had “been hurt by what I saw, but wanted to work through it” in reference to JoJo’s close friendship with Chris, 32.
They added: “Before I could even get back to the hotel I went to the afterparty with, I guess my now ex, crazy thing to say, and was dumped in the party.
“I was told that there are confused feelings there, do with that what you will, and they had realised in the house that I wasn’t the person they wanted to spend the foreseeable.”
One supporter raged: “I’m fuming for you. Idk if it’s too soon to mention but let’s just say Karma IS a b*tch, let her cook.”
Another said: “I’m so sorry for both of you I think JoJo just needed to find herself and doing cbb she found part of herself, sending huge loves and hugs it so very sad but onwards and upwards beauts.”
A third posted: “Wow! I have followed you for years. You were far too good for this person anyways. You have left with dignity sending love.”
Another said: “I have been watching this unfold and I cannot imagine what you are going through – I’m so sorry Kath, you are such an icon for so many Australian lgbtqia+ members! You’re so much more than this.”
This morning the first pictures of Kath and JoJo together emerged since the latter left the house.
The pair reunited at last night’s wrap party following dancer JoJo’s third placed finish in the final.
Chris and JoJo were grilled about their closeness by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best after leaving the house but insisted they were just good friends.
After the housemates received letters from home days before the final, JoJo crypticalyl told Chris in the bedroom: “I’ve been better. Give me 48 hours. Love you, appreciate you. You’re a special one.”
JoJo explained on Late and Live how receiving the letter from home left her discombobulated as she’d blanked out the outside world up until that point.
She said Chris reassured her it was normal and that with the final so close and that it was OK for her to let her mind drift to loved ones.
We exclusively revealed how Kath had been hiding in a neighbouring studio, away from prying eyes, to reunite with JoJo.
The secret appearance followed intense speculation on JoJo and housemate Chris‘ friendship, which many felt had crossed over into romantic territory following a string of intimate moments.
Kath’s wrap party appearance came after ITV bosses met her “demands”.
She asked to remain backstage and not to be filmed or photographed during the live final.
The online star was missing from the side of stage, where the other finalists’ families had gathered, when JoJo left the house and finished her eviction interview.
A source told The Sun: “Fans were worried JoJo’s girlfriend wasn’t going to make the journey over from Australia.
“She’s been silent on social media since JoJo grew closer to Chris in the house – and then the letter from home had everyone convinced she would snub the final.
“Kath has surprised everyone by coming to meet JoJo after leaving the house, but she gave Celebrity Big Brother bosses strict orders that she wouldn’t be in any camera shots – filmed or still camera – nothing.
“She’s been stressed and demanded that she remain backstage out of sight.
“Meanwhile every other family or friends are side of stage to greet them as soon as the eviction interview is over.
“JoJo got taken off and put in a car to be whisked away.”
