JoJo Siwa arrives back in the US and is greeted by Dance Moms star mum after CBB and Chris Hughes ‘romance’ mystery
JOJO Siwa touched down on home turf and was greeted by her Dance Moms star parent following her stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The dancer and actress, who found fame in the US TV series, shared a big hug with her loved one at the Arrivals terminal in Los Angeles.
JoJo, 21 – who fled the UK wearing her co-star and “soulmate” Chris Hughes’ clothes – had switched up from his grey hoodie.
Yet, after their blossoming connection in the Celebrity Big Brother house, which left viewers confused over their seemingly “flirty” behaviour, she kept Love Island alum Chris‘ neon wool hat firmly on.
She pulled on a pair of sunglasses and threw a rucksack over her shoulders as she wheeled two suitcases through the terminal.
Her mum Jessalyn, 50, strolled ahead as they prepared to head home.
Yet one person who wasn’t on-hand to welcome JoJo was her former partner Kath Ebbs.
Kath, 27, revealed they had been dumped by the Dance Moms alum during the wrap party for the ITV reality series.
It came despite the fact the pair had been “discussing marriage” – with Kath’s best pal then sticking in the knife on the real reason for JoJo’s decision.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Australian content creator Kath, said they were in “complete shock” and felt “numbed out and humiliated” after being dumped by JoJo.
A day later, Kath was pictured for the first time since the split.
They had told how dancer JoJo had “fallen in love” with the Love Island alum during their time in the compound.
After posing a video all about their break-up, one fan of Kath’s commented on their clip to say: “Imagine watching your partner fall in love with someone else in real time. Cannot even begin to fathom that.”
Appearing to confirm that this is exactly how they were feeling, Kath, who identifies as non-binary, liked the comment in question.
It is the most telling sign yet that Kath has been negatively affected by JoJo’s bond with Chris.
OPENING UP
Yet now JoJo has clarified the pair’s relationship status in an interview on Monday’s This Morning.
JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs' relationship
We look back at JoJo Siwa's romance with Kath Ebbs:
JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs’ relationship in January 2025.
The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier.
JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after.
Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: “I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it’s beautiful. It’s taught me so much about life.
“It’s taught me so much about love and respect, and it’s a beautiful thing.
“It’s different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn’t even know what to say the biggest is ‘cause just everything is so different and special.”
Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together.
However, JoJo’s romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party.
JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house – where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes.
Speaking about where Chris and JoJo go from here, regarding their “close” friendship, Chris said they have a “really strong bond” – calling it a “soulmate friendship”.
Chris said: “Our friendship, it’s hard to explain… it’s just a really strong bond between two people, it’s just a strong friendship.
“I think you can have a soulmate friendship, that’s the thing.
“To me, it’s that energy when it’s not the standard friendship you have with your friends, but it’s still a friendship, we are friends.
“It’s nice, I found it strange because it was such a strong friendship.
“Having someone in there to go through an experience like that and have someone there everyday when you’re emotional, when you’re happy… that was beautiful, that was genuinely an amazing thing.”
Ben then grilled the pair and asked if it was just “platonic” or if it could develop into something “romantic”.
JoJo laughed and said: “He’s a gorgeous boy, look, he’s a great guy, it is platonic, we have a lot of fun together.
Life is life and I don’t know any future of anything but I’m really grateful for the dynamic that we have and the bond that we have.
“Whatever life does, life will do.”
Chris was later forced to defend what some deemed his “creepy” age gap with JoJo following their cosy display on a post-show night out.
This followed their intimate displays in the spy house, which saw JoJo and Chris secretly hold hands in the bedroom.
Chris then asked JoJo to lick his shorts in a move some found bizarre while he also stripped naked in front of the actress before heading for an off-camera chat.
Chris even offered to have JoJo’s babies in another shock remark.
