Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa's mother has hinted at the real reason why her daughter dumped her partner Kath Ebbs. Despite declaring love for her other half multiple times inside the ITV house, the 21-year-old called off their relationship at the reality show's wrap party.

Since their split, Kath, 28, has shared a number of cryptic posts and shared her upset at their situation on social media while JoJo had initially remained quiet about their break up. However, her mum Jessalynn has now seemingly confirmed why the sudden split came about and it's got nothing to do with Love Island star Chris Hughes.


Reddit users were quick to notice a post from Jessalyn online as one user wrote on the social media online forum: "Did you see JoJo's mum reposted this?? Implying the break up wasn't related to Chris but about JoJo finding herself." The video showed a TikTok user saying: "Kath has removed the video of JoJo Siwa and I'll tell you why.


"I don't think JoJo has split up with Kath because of Chris... And that's the kind of narrative that Kath is trying to put across.

"JoJo has broken up with Kath because JoJo doesn't know who she is. She's figuring out herself. She went into that relationship when she shouldn't have, in my opinion."

The video was later re-shared by JoJo's mother, leading some to speculate that the user had hit the nail on the head, the Mirror reports.

JoJo and Chris appeared on This Morning on Monday, April 28, where the Dance Moms star explained that her break up with Kath had not been planned.

She told ITV hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: "I'll be honest - that wasn't a plan. That wasn't an intention.


"Initially I was told that they didn't want to attend the wrap party and then an hour into the wrap party, they wanted to ... They straight up asked me if I was happy and I said no. One thing led to another and that conversation did take place there."

When Ben then questioned her bond with Chris, JoJo said: "Obviously we're close."


Chris, who is 11 years older than JoJo, added: "Our friendship is just a really strong bond between two people - it's a soulmate friendship and to me it's that energy where it's not the standard friendship ... It was beautiful. My favourite thing I got from the show."

The hosts attempted to push any romantic links between the pair, asking the American star if she could see her and Chris pursuing a relationship in the future.

JoJo appeared to shut down this possibility as she said: "He's a great guy. It's platonic, we have a lot of fun together - life is life.

"I don't know any future of any thing. I'm really grateful for the bond we have and whatever life will do, life will do," refusing to shut down a possible romance between them.

Kath and JoJo are believed to have started dating in late 2024 and went Instagram official in January 2025.


The 28-year-old took to Instagram last week to say that they had been dumped as they wrote: "I don't even know where to begin. I am filming this in a complete state of shock which I know is probably distressing and is probably giving 'go have a sleep' but I honestly feel so numbed out right now and so disorientated that I feel like the only thing that I have to do to place this situation is to finally address it.

“After two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person it involved who was I guess in an odd way, I don't know if you can call it love bombing but it seems to me I have experienced a version of that.

“Being told I am the love of someone's life, being asked to marry them before this social experiment, being adored throughout these closed doors, being hurt by what I saw but wanting to work through it and get clarity to be met with being further humiliated, that is more of a feeling than fact, but being further humiliated.

“The story goes right now in the last eight hours or whatever, I flew here and I went to the live show to show up for my partner and support them in their experience and then later on address my feelings of hurt and work through them like all relationships do but before I could get back to the hotel, it is actually crazy, I went to the after party with my now ex - crazy thing to say - and I was dumped in the after party.”
