JoJo Siwa Break Up Bombshell Why She Ended Things With Kath Ebbs at the Big Brother Wrap Party

JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs’s split came as a surprise during a wrap party that was supposed to be a celebration. Her tone was thoughtful but grounded as she and Chris Hughes recapped the incident on This Morning. “That wasn’t how it was supposed to happen,” she said earnestly. The split wasn’t prearranged, nor was it the result of rage; rather, it developed from an open moment that intensified under the direction of candor rather than conflict. The result was an uncharacteristically public breakdown of a private moment brought on by a setting that provided little opportunity for escape.

She went through a period of intense introspection before appearing on Celebrity Big Brother UK. She faced realities about her emotional health while cut off from friends, the internet, and external expectations. JoJo described her clarity during the experience, saying, “I realized things I had been okay with that I should never have been okay with.” That unadulterated awareness led to the painful breakup. The emotional clash was unavoidable when Kath Ebbs showed up at the party JoJo had thought she wouldn’t go to. JoJo wasn’t happy when Kath asked if she was. Despite being straightforward, that question compelled a response that destroyed their relationship.

JoJo has been remarkably open about her previous relationships in recent months. Both the beginning and the end of her relationship with Kath Ebbs were made public. With happy pictures and heartfelt captions, the couple announced their love on the internet in January 2025. However, in April, Kath posted a TikTok video in which she revealed that JoJo had admitted she no longer saw a future with them. Kath stated quietly, “There were confused feelings,” leaving it up to the followers to decipher the subtlety.

A broader pattern in JoJo’s relationship history can be seen in this ending, which is noticeably civil but emotionally complex. She has always been attracted to passionate, well-publicized relationships. After a brief but sincere relationship with Mark Bontempo in 2020, she celebrated her marriage to Kylie Prew, whom she referred to as “the most beautiful girlfriend.” She became publicly queer as a result of that relationship, which led to her now-famous coming out via a TikTok with a Pride theme. She attributes her decision to share her identity with the world to Kylie, but even that connection was unable to withstand the strain of living together at such a young age, which JoJo later admitted “should’ve never happened.”

Every romance that followed seemed to repeat the lessons discovered in the previous one. JoJo made references to toxic behaviors during her time dating Katie Mills, which led to accusations of love bombing. Mills retaliated by claiming JoJo was the one fabricating the story. Mills asserted online, “I have the receipts,” underscoring the acrid fallout between two young influencers negotiating a relationship in front of millions of viewers.

Avery Cyrus followed the same pattern. Their dynamic felt electric at first. She “makes me feel so good,” according to JoJo. However, JoJo claimed in a video that an unidentified ex was exploiting her for publicity just a few weeks after their split. “I was played,” she stated bluntly. In a tactful reply, Avery said she ended the relationship with love and respect and described it as “very real.”

In contrast, she and Dakayla Wilson’s relationship in 2024 seemed to be very stable—until it wasn’t. The So You Think You Can Dance dancer-turned-judge appeared to be sincerely interested. For her 19th birthday, JoJo took her to Hawaii and even suggested triplets. They were very in sync and very public. By Christmas, however, JoJo was once more unmarried. She told People, “We’ve gone our separate ways,” but Dakayla was still “an amazing girl.” Even though it was more subdued, this split demonstrated JoJo’s maturing maturity by being less dramatic and more realistic.

Although celebrity splits are not new, JoJo’s story illustrates how generations are changing. Not only do her Gen Z and younger millennial fans enjoy her romances, but they also relate to them. People discuss, analyze, and offer real-time commentary on JoJo’s suffering. Her vulnerability serves as a prism through which to discuss queer identity, emotional labor, and mental health. JoJo’s strategy is remarkably transparent in contrast to previous celebrities who meticulously managed public access to their hearts. It is therapeutic as well as confessional, particularly for younger audiences dealing with identity crises of their own.

There was additional intrigue because of her relationship with Chris Hughes. The two developed an emotional bond during Big Brother UK, helping one another through stressful situations and high-stakes competitions. When asked about their dynamic, Chris said, “Probably my favorite thing from the whole show.” Reiterating the sentiment, JoJo thanked them for their “soulmate friendship.” Their intimacy sparked waves of conjecture, even though neither confirmed romantic feelings. Will Chris be the next? JoJo simply stated that she is thankful and open to wherever life takes her, without providing any further explanation.

JoJo is taking a particularly strong action by leaving relationships that no longer benefit her. In a time when brand-driven intimacy and performative love are the norm, she’s letting herself and her fans know when to walk away. Despite being public, her approach is sincere. She splits up to grow, not to get away. By doing this, she questions the idea that breakups have to be failures. On the road to emotional freedom, they can occasionally be essential checkpoints.
