LONDON — The romance between pop star JoJo Siwa and partner Kath Ebbs came to a screeching halt at the afterparty of the Celebrity Big Brother UK finale on April 25, 2025, capping a whirlwind week of reality TV chaos. The breakup, confirmed by Ebbs in an emotional Instagram video posted the following day, unfolded in a haze of champagne and speculation at the glitzy wrap party, leaving fans stunned and the tabloids buzzing.
Siwa, the 21-year-old former Dance Moms star turned global performer, had been a polarizing figure in the Big Brother house, her larger-than-life persona clashing with housemates and sparking endless debates. Ebbs, who had flown from the U.S. to London to support Siwa at the live finale, was by her side as the show crowned its winner. But the night took a sharp turn. In the Instagram video, Ebbs, voice trembling but steady, revealed that Siwa ended their relationship at the afterparty, citing “confused feelings” before heading back to their hotel alone. The couple, who had been dating publicly since early 2024, appeared solid just days earlier, with Ebbs posting supportive messages during Siwa’s time on the show.
The split wasn’t entirely out of the blue for those glued to the Big Brother saga. Siwa’s close bond with fellow housemate Chris Hughes, a British reality star, had raised eyebrows among viewers and sparked whispers of tension. Ebbs’ video didn’t name Hughes, but the timing fueled speculation that Siwa’s connection with him played a role. No official statement from Siwa or her team has confirmed or denied these claims, and Hughes has remained silent on the matter.
Ebbs, a low-profile figure compared to Siwa’s neon-bright fame, laid bare the raw details in their announcement. They described the gut-punch of flying across the Atlantic, cheering through the finale, only to be blindsided at the afterparty. The video, posted to Ebbs’ verified Instagram account on April 26, 2025, was brief but heavy, ending with a quiet request for privacy. Siwa has yet to address the breakup publicly, her social media silent since the finale.
The Celebrity Big Brother UK season, which wrapped on April 25, 2025, was a ratings juggernaut, with Siwa’s antics driving much of the buzz. Her exit from the house was met with a mix of cheers and jeers, but no one expected the off-screen drama to steal the spotlight. The afterparty, held at a swanky London venue, was packed with castmates, crew, and industry types, the kind of scene where secrets rarely stay buried.
For now, the facts are sparse but clear: Siwa and Ebbs are done, their split sealed in the early hours after the Big Brother finale. Ebbs is back in the U.S., their Instagram now private. Siwa, meanwhile, was spotted at Heathrow Airport on April 26, boarding a flight to Los Angeles, her signature bow nowhere in sight.
