Jojo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs reveals their disappointment after not being invited to Logie Awards
Jojo Siwa 's ex Kath Ebbs has expressed their disappointment about not being invited to the 2025 Logie Awards. The 27-year-old Australian influencer, who uses they/them pronouns, has admitted to having FOMO - fear of missing out - while watching the event on Sunday night. 'Genuinely every year in my head I'm like ugh I would of ate,' they told The Daily Telegraph. 'We know you couldn't catch me dead in a dress, but a part of me feels like if I ever got invited to the Logies, I think I would just go drag style and wear a dress, go so fem ya'll wouldn't even recognise me.' Kath said they would like to 'manifest' being invited to next year's ceremony. It comes after Kath went Instagram official with their new romance last week. Ebbs is in a relationship with Australian Rules footballer Tilly Lucas-Rodd, 29, and shared the first snaps of them together on Instagram on Thursday. It comes just three months after the social media personality was dumped by JoJo who is now in a relationship with her Celebrity Big Brother co-star Chris Hughes. The photos saw the loved-up pair posing in a photobooth as they shared a romantic kiss and beamed at each other. Alongside the post, Kath wrote: 'The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!' Tilly is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. They are the first AFLW player to undergo top surgery and documented the procedure in an Instagram clip. Tilly plays for the Hawthorn Football Club in Melbourne and previously played for the Carlton Football Club. Kath first debuted the new romance when they posted two sentimental TikToks on July 18, with a sarcastic caption aimed at Dance Moms star JoJo. 'Hope this one doesn't cheat on me,' Kath wrote, alongside a video of the Hawthorn player, calling the sports star their new 'crush'. 'Nature is healing,' the Sydney-based content creator captioned a second video of them lip syncing to the song DAISIES from Justin Bieber's new album SWAG. The video was filmed on the front porch of Tilley's Melbourne home, with Kath writing: 'Didn't know all I needed was this album and an all-consuming crush'. 'Who's this new crush huh? Lemme have a word with them,' Tilley flirtatiously commented. 'Posting said crush because what the hell are they going to do about it?' Kath wrote over the second video of Tilley dancing around the living room. Fans were quick to offer their well wishes and congratulations to Kath, who just three months ago found themselves flying from London to Sydney solo and single after the Celebrity Big Brother UK finale.

JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs confirms new relationship with subtle dig at star after getting dumped for Chris Hughes
KATH Ebbs has gone Instagram official with their new beau a few months after being publicly dumped by American pop star, JoJo Siwa. They are dating Australian Rules footballer, Tilly Lucas-Rodd, 29, and seem completely loved up in their recent social media snaps. 5 5 'The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!!', Kath captioned the post of four black and white photo booth style images, kissing and cuddling with Tilly. Fans were quick to congratulate Kate, though the seemingly subtle dig towards the JoJo drama in the caption where Kate said 'stupidly' didn't appear to go unnoticed. 'Happy for you both, just glad to see you happy,' one fan wrote. A second boldly added: 'Upgradeeeeeeeee'. A third chimed in: 'The happy ending you deserve (and we all wanted!). The Australian content creator dated the former Dance Moms celeb for a short period of time before JoJo called it quits, leading Kath to admit they were in a 'dark place' due to the breakup. It's strongly suggested that the sudden break up came after JoJo started to catch feelings for former Love Island contestant, Chris Hughes. Chris, 32, and JoJo, 22, were contestants on Celebrity Big Brother UK at the same time earlier in the year. Their close on-screen bond sparked speculation of cheating, but both JoJo and Kate have publicly stated that cheating played no part in their decision to part ways. Chris and JoJo were close, but only made their relationship official in June. Shortly beforehand JoJo made it clear to the public that they identified as "queer, not lesbian". JoJo Siwa reveals exact moment she knew she 'wasn't happy' with ex Kath Ebbs before dumping them at wrap party JoJo reportedly told Kath, 27, at the Celebrity Big Brother UK wrap party when they were exiting the house that they no longer wanted to be in the relationship because their feelings had changed. Kath had flown to the UK specifically to celebrate at the party with JoJo, so they were very much caught off guard by the news. 5 5 5

JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs goes Instagram official with new partner Tilly Lucas-Rodd after being dumped by singer in favour of Chris Hughes
JoJo Siwa 's ex-girlfriend Kath Ebbs has gone Instagram official with her new romance. The 27-year-old is in a relationship with Australian Rules footballer Tilly Lucas-Rodd, 29, and shared the first snaps of them together on Instagram on Thursday. It comes just three months after the social media personality was dumped by JoJo who is now in a relationship with her Celebrity Big Brother co-star Chris Hughes.

Kath wrote over the second video of Tilley dancing around the living room. Taking to TikTok , Kath shared the happy news in two sentimental TikToks, with a sarcastic caption aimed at Dance Moms star JoJo Fans were quick to offer their well wishes and congratulations to Kath, who just three months ago found themselves flying from London to Sydney solo and single after the Celebrity Big Brother UK finale. 'You definitely won that break-up,' one wrote. 'Go Kath! 12/10 upgrade,' added a second, with a third chiming in: 'WAG era activated.' Lesbian singer Peach PRC also offered her congratulations, writing: 'YAAAYYY'. JoJo, 21, dumped Kath, 27, just hours after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house in April, after setting tongues wagging about her close on-screen bond with her now-boyfriend Chris Hughes. During her time on CBB, JoJo formed a tactile 'friendship' with the Love Island star, 32, with the pair's flirty behaviour raising eyebrows - given her relationship with Kath at the time. After leaving the house, JoJo immediately broke up with Kath at the CBB wrap party. In a whirlwind press tour, the Dance Moms star went on to insist Chris was not to blame for her split with Kath, and that their relationship was strictly platonic. The pair are now a high-profile couple. 'I'd love to marry her. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day,' Chris recently told The Sun. The news of Kath's new relationship comes hot on the heels of an awkward encounter with Sydney paparazzi Jayden Seyfarth at the airport on Thursday. Seyfarth approached Kath in public and peppered the Aussie influencer with rapid-fire questions about JoJo. 'When's the last time you spoke to JoJo?' Seyfarth asked. 'Do you still listen to her music or skip it when it comes on?' 'That's funny,' Kath replied. 'Are you still single at the moment or have you found a new lover?' he tried again. 'Wouldn't you like to know,' Kath said. Appearing increasingly uncomfortable, Kath repeated the word 'no' and the phrase 'no comment' several times, while trying to move away from the paparazzo. He pressed on with a final question: 'Do you think it was a blessing in disguise JoJo going into the Big Brother house, or do you wish she never went on?' 'No comment,' Kath repeated while trying to put on a pair of headphones as they moved away.

AFLW star Tilly Lucas-Rodd ‘so happy' after gender-affirming top surgery
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFLW. Followed categories will be added to My News. AFLW star Tilly Lucas-Rodd has revealed they are 'so happy' and feel so much like themselves after having gender-affirming top surgery during the off-season. The 29-year-old Hawthorn star is the league's first current player to undergo the surgery - which removes breast tissue in a similar way to a double mastectomy - and said they feel so much more comfortable. 'People often have asked me, 'How do I feel now that I've had it' - post-surgery, seeing myself,' Lucas-Rodd, who identifies as non-binary, told ABC Sport. '... for me, it was like, 'this is how I've always looked when I saw myself' … This is what I've always thought and always seen internally.' AFLW star Tilly Lucas-Rodd says they are 'so happy' after undergoing gender affirming top surgery. Picture: Instagram/tillylr Prior to the surgery, Lucas-Rodd was taping or binding their chest and wearing a guernsey multiple sizes too large in order to reduce dysphoria. This practice however, was causing issues, sometimes restricting breathing and movement, and creating back pain. Since returning to training, however, Lucas-Rodd said they are relishing the freedom of not needing a sports bra or chest bindings. 'Going out onto the track in our training guernseys or our singlets, I just feel so, so happy and so just like me,' they said. 'I had huge discomfort around my chest, huge dysphoria. It didn't match up with what I felt internally I should look like.' The halfback came out publicly as non-binary in 2023, saying at the time that they 'don't really identify strongly as my assigned gender at birth, which is female.' 'I don't really feel strongly that I fit into that label as a female, and at the same time I don't feel like I'm a male, either. I guess I'm in between that,' they said in a video shared on the Hawthorn website. 'So for me, the label 'non-binary' feels most comfortable about how I identify in terms of my gender.' Lucas-Rodd said they feel more comfortable and like themselves since returning to training. Picture: Instagram/tillylr The Hawthorn player identifies as non-binary. Picture: Instagram/tillylr Two other AFLW players, Carlton star Darcy Vescio and former Gold Coast player Tori Groves-Little, also identify as non-binary, and two former players have undergone gender-reaffirming top surgery since leaving the league. Lucas-Rodd spoke to their Hawthorn teammates about the surgery when returning to training and said they were met with 'such love and acceptance'. While opening themselves up to public commentary by sharing their story has been nerve-racking, Lucas-Rodd said they hope to help others in a similar position. 'It's also to show gender diverse and trans people that there is a place for them in sport,' they said. 'Coming out publicly with top surgery, people will say and do what they want, but I'm trying to show people that no matter what gender you are, no matter how you express that, no matter anything about you, that you belong in sport and you belong in sport at a professional and elite level. 'That's a big thing for me … being like regardless of your gender and how you express that, there is this place for you in sport.' Since sharing their ABC Sport interview on Instagram, Lucas-Rodd has recieved many messages of support, including from Aussie musician G Flip who said, 'Hells yeah Tilly,' and Wentworth star Zoe Terakes, who shared a series of strong arm and love heart emojis.
