The breakup followed weeks of speculation about JoJo's close friendship with Chris Hughes, a fellow contestant on the show. Ebbs accused JoJo of "love-bombing", claiming that before the show, JoJo had called them the "love of [her] life" and even proposed. However, JoJo later told Ebbs that she had "confused feelings" and realized during the show that Ebbs wasn't the person she wanted to be with long-term.
Chris Hughes and JoJo were seen laughing in bed together, giving each other massages, and even communicating in code against show rules.
Some fans accused Hughes of "emotional cheating", while others found his behavior toward JoJo "creepy". Despite the speculation, Hughes denied any romantic involvement, stating that he and JoJo were "just friends"
JoJo also made headlines during the show when she revealed that she no longer identifies as a lesbian, instead describing herself as "queer".
This revelation came after her interactions with Hughes raised questions about her sexuality among viewers.
JoJo made her comments two weeks after former housemate Mickey Rourke made inappropriate comments about her sexuality to her face and days after she and Chris were seen communicating in code against show rules. She later explained they had created a secret language to help her feel comfortable discussing her gender identity.
Their bond also apparent by their body language, with Chris seen kissing JoJo on the cheek, and the two-cuddling led to speculation among fans that their relationship had turned romantic. On the finale, the 32-year-old addressed the issue.
"We're just messing around we're being kids," he said. "JoJo was like a pure rock to me. She was someone I can have fun with."
Chris continued defending their dynamic, saying, "From a friendship point of view, yeah, of course I love her." "It was just a friendship," he continued, "which is only going to get stronger."
Kath Ebbs' comments highlight the emotional complexity of their breakup with JoJo Siwa. They expressed feeling deeply hurt and humiliated, particularly after witnessing what they described as "emotional cheating" and boundary-crossing between JoJo and Chris Hughes during Celebrity Big Brother UK. Kath's decision to withhold their opinions about Chris while acknowledging the situation as JoJo and Chris's "journey" shows a mix of restraint and emotional processing. It's a tough situation, and it seems like Kath is trying to navigate it with as much grace as possible. What stands out most to you about their perspective?
JoJo Siwa is also hitting the road again with a tour that promises to be bigger, bolder, and packed with energy! If you're looking to catch her live.
