US singer and dancer Jojo Siwa sparked online buzz over the past few weeks after she seemingly established a relationship with US sports presenter Chris Hughes on "Celebrity Big Brother UK".
The pair were seen developing a close bond in the house and portrayed more than just a friendship vibe, despite the 'Dance Moms' star being in a relationship with Australian influencer, Kath Ebbs.
Siwa and Ebbs first sparked dating rumours in late 2024, when Ebbs posted videos of Siwa on their TikTok. The couple then went Instagram official in January 2025.
The pair always showcased their love for one another on social media however, everything crumbled apart when Siwa went to "Celebrity Big Brother UK".
The 'Karma' hitmaker sparked romance rumours with 32-year-old Hughes after they were seen developing a close bond on the reality show, which left fans questioning her relationship with Ebbs.
Ebbs addresses their relationship status with Siwa
To add fuel to the fire, Ebbs took to TikTok to announce that Siwa broke things off with them at the finale of the show.
The Australian influencer shared in an emotional video that watching the show was very unsettling and hurtful for them due to the things that took place on the show.
In a now-deleted TikTok video, Ebbs shared, 'I honestly thought I would come on here, right now with my partner and be like 'It was just a TV show and it was all fabricated and we are happy as Larry.
'But the truth of the matter is that I decided to show up for my partner and hold my end of the bargain of being in a partnership and being a teammate.
"And I flew across the world to support and be there and hold that person in whatever they would be experiencing, leaving such a wild experience. Instead, I was dumped at the after party with Chris in the next room,' they added.
Ebbs also revealed that Siwa told them that while in the Big Brother House, she realised that Ebbs is not the person that she wants to spend her future with.
Siwa breaks her silence regarding her relationship with Ebbs
On April 28, Siwa, alongside Hughes, appeared on the 'This Morning' show and spoke up about her split with now ex, Ebbs.
She said, 'I'll be honest, that was not a plan. That was not an intention; that was not supposed to happen like that.'
The 21-year-old added, 'Initially, I was told that the wrap party was something they (Ebbs) didn't want to attend, and then about an hour into the wrap party, they decided they wanted to. And so I was genuinely just going to have a conversation before, and then it just led to another.'
Siwa further said that being in the house helped her come to the realisation that she was not okay with certain things in her life, and her relationship with Ebbs was one of them.

Kerishnie Naiker recalls freak accident that left her in a wheelchair
Former Miss SA Kerishnie Naiker has reflected on the first anniversary since a freak accident that left her temporarily wheelchair bound after dislocating both ankles. The 51-year-old beauty queen suffered a serious fall after bumping into a tourist at Cape Point in May last year. After undergoing intensive rehabilitation, she slowly regained mobility, but with limitations. In 1997, Kerishnie became the first South African of Indian descent to win Miss SA. In an Instagram post over the weekend, Kerishnie Naiker reflected on a year of intense rehabilitation since her horror accident at a Cape tourist destination last year. Sharing footage of her time in hospital, she shared: 'Adaptability is an art and an advantage. The focus has not once been on the negligent, selfie-addicted tourist, but rather on being solution-driven and healing. Earlier this month, Kerishnie claimed she had '28% sports ability' and also revealed she experienced nerve damage in her toes. According to Kerishnie Naiker, she suffered a serious fall last year after bumping into a tourist on a steep flight of stairs. She shared: 'I was accidentally tripped by a tourist while she was taking photographs. While on the stairs from the lighthouse at Cape Point, she walked backward into me, tripping me down two steps. She tried to get the lighthouse in focus and took one step too far'. The beauty queen dislocated both her ankles and had to undergo an intensive rehabilitation programme. Kerishnie Naiker has shared a health update after a freak accident. Images via Instagram: @kerishnie_naiker In light of the accident, Kerishnie Naiker has used her platform to share the lessons she learned from the experience. She shared: 'I feel it imperative to use this platform to reaffirm that we: 'Do not take photos at the peril of others or ourselves 'Are observant, cognizant of our surroundings, and situationally aware 'Savour every moment and take it all in without having to witness it all through a lens 'Are mindful, kind, and not oblivious of the well-being of others.' She added, 'Too many are dying while taking selfies and recording reels, and others are getting injured and killed by their negligence.'
