Celebrity Big Brother's JoJo Siwa's ex Kath admits mental health struggles after split
Kath Ebbs had been dating JoJo Siwa for seven months when she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house, but rather the Dance Moms' time in the house ended in heartache for Kath
JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs has made a brave admission about the toll the last few weeks have taken on her mental health.
Australian actress Kath, 27, said that they were dumped by JoJo, 21, at the Celebrity Big Brother afterparty when they flew to the UK to celebrate JoJo making it to the final of the ITV show last week.
JoJo developed an incredibly close bond with fellow housemate and former Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32 during her three weeks in the house. The pair's close bond sparked plenty of speculation, and during a recent appearance on This Morning, Chris offered clarity. 'It's a soulmate friendship,' he explained. 'It's not your typical friendship, but it's still a friendship. We're friends.'
JoJo echoed the sentiment, saying, 'He's a gorgeous boy, look, he's a great guy… it is platonic, we have a lot of fun together.' She added thoughtfully, 'Life is life and I don't know any future of anything but I'm really grateful for the dynamic that we have and the bond that we have. Whatever life does, life will do.'
JoJo, who had been dating Kath for seven months before entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, allegedly called off their relationship at the the TV show's afterparty, leaving her Aussie partner blindsided and heartbroken.
Kath - who is non-binary - has stayed relatively shtum on their heartbreak, but made a subtle acknowledgement in a new Instagram post.
They shared a post from The Daily Aus about how Australian politician and leader of the Coalition party Peter Dutton has lost his constituent seat in Dickson, a post he had held since 2001. In May 2021, Dutton - then serving as Australia 's Minister for Defence - stopped the department and serving military from marking the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia, describing it as a 'woke agenda'.
They wrote above it, "After some of the hardest mental health weeks I've ever endured… this is a fkn win!!!," in an apparent reference to their recent break-up.
Shortly after their shock split, Kath told the Mirror: 'It's really unfortunate that my relationship with this person is being reduced to untrue allegations about what happened at a party. The public has only heard one side of the story. Attacks on my character are not something I take lightly, especially from someone I cared for deeply and shared a committed relationship with.'
After JoJo landed back to her hometown of LA, she appeared to make a cutting dig at Kath. Just days earlier, Kath went public with the news that JoJo ended their relationship at the CBB wrap party. Posting on Instagram, the Australian content creator described the moment as a 'complete shock,' saying they felt 'numbed out and humiliated' by the split.
While back in the US, JoJo hinted that her time in the house prompted deep self-reflection, and when asked if she was happy to be home, she replied: 'Can I be honest? No. I want to go back, I want to go back.'
Pressed about what she learned during her time on the show, she subtly alluded to her personal life, saying: 'Probably [that I] learned more about myself… I think that I had a lot of things in my life I wasn't happy about. And being there forced me to change that, and that's good. I needed that.'

Daisy May Cooper shares her 'real name' in sweet social media post
In a post marking her son Benji's first birthday this week, Daisy May Cooper seemingly revealed that her legal surname is still the same as her ex-husband, Will Weston Daisy May Cooper has seemingly shared her real legal name as she posted a sweet throwback photo on social media. The actress and writer, who won the 2018 BAFTA TV Award for Best Female Comedy Performance for playing Kerry Mucklowe in the BBC Three series This Country, has always been known by the surname Cooper since rising to fame. However, in a post shared this week, she revealed that her surname is actually Weston. The photo, shared by Daisy on her Instagram Stories on Friday, is an image of her hospital visit on June 6, 2024, when she gave birth to her son Benji. She wrote: "1 year ago today at 03.04am we welcomed our baby boy into the world." In the snap, her full name is written as Daisy May Weston - the surname of her ex-husband, Will Weston. The pair married in The Cotswolds in September 2019 and they share to children to whom they are "both devoted parents". However, they decided to part ways in 2021 after the Covid-19 lockdown "shone a spotlight" on their marital difficulties. Daisy, 38, is now in a relationship with her new partner, Anthony Huggins, who is Benji's father. The couple met on dating app Hinge in December 2021 and welcomed their child a year ago. When her youngest son was born, Daisy announced the news via Instagram and detailed how the little one arrived earlier than planned, penning: "You came a bit earlier than we expected and gave me the worst post op constipation that I nearly had to phone the Samaritans but my god you are perfect. "I cannot thank @deliverysuitegrh enough. The way you looked after us through such a scary time was above and beyond." Daisy's pregnancy was announced in March last year when she and Anthony packed on PDA while shopping for baby clothes in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The couple held hands when they stepped out for a spot of shopping, with the actress' bump on full display in a figure-hugging all-black look. The pair could barely keep their hands off one another while making the most of the sunny weather, and Daisy was seen heartily laughing as they went about their day. At the time, a source said: "Daisy is pregnant and is really excited to become a mum for the third time with her new partner. The pair have been going strong, so the addition of a baby will only bring them closer together." Then earlier this year, the couple sparked engagement rumours after Daisy was spotted wearing a diamond rock on her ring finger. Speculation that Anthony had popped the question began in February when Daisy was promoting her BBC series Am I Being Unreasonable? on her Instagram Stories and referred to Anthony as her "fiancé" for the first time. In a clip, she jested that her "fit fiancé and baby daddy" would make an appearance on screen. It was reported at the beginning of the year that Daisy and Anthony were happily engaged and "over the moon" with the news after a secret proposal. A source told The Sun at the time: "Daisy and Anthony are madly in love with each other and are a success story for dating apps. Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and already have a baby boy together." In addition to son Benji, Daisy shares children Pip, five, and Jack, three, with her ex Will. After their break-up, Daisy admitted to The Times: "Will is amazing, an incredible, incredible dad - but fundamentally, there wasn't real love there, I don't think there ever was, really." She went on to reveal that the lockdown "shone a spotlight" on their marital difficulties" and that she needed to be by herself after the strains of the Covid-19 pandemic.
