JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs announces relationship with star athlete after heartbreak

JoJo Siwa’s ex-partner, Kath Ebbs, has revealed that they are in a new relationship after their public split from the Dance Moms star.

Kath and JoJo were together when the latter went into the Big Brother house. JoJo quickly formed a tight bond with Chris Hughes, of Love Island fame, and while viewers picked up onflirtatious vibes between the pair, they insisted that they were just friends.

Shortly after JoJo came out of the Big Brother house, Kath posted a video online claiming that they had been dumped at the show’s after-party. They said: "After two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person that it involves... I was dumped at the after-party.”

Kath continued: "I was told that there are confused feelings there - do with that what you will - and that they had realised in the house that I wasn't the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable future with."

During an interview with The Viall Files, JoJo said that Chris was not one of the reasons behind the break up. She said: "I actually told this to Kath, like, ‘Maybe it would be easier if he was! But he is not one of them, so if you’re going to share the story, share the story… Don’t paint it out to look like I cheated on you with him because I did not… I would not, and I have not."

JoJo went on to date Chris, and the pair are currently still together.

She confirmed the relationship at the start of June during an interview with The Guardian, saying: “It’s not platonic any more, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”

However, Kath has now revealed on social media that they are also in a new relationship - with Australian rules footballer Tilly Lucas-Rodd.

Kath shared a post of the pair kissing and getting cosy in a photobooth and added the caption: “The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!”

Tilly is an athlete for the Hawthorn Football Club who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. Earlier this year they opened up about getting top surgery and how it helped them to feel at home in their body.

Kath’s new partner told ABC Sport in June: "People often have asked me, 'How do I feel now that I've had it' — post surgery seeing myself.

"A lot of people [who've had the operation] have really big emotions and really big elation. But 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."
