JoJo Siwa has responded to her ex-girlfriend Kath Ebbs' public social media dig about cheating, calling the post an attention-seeking move. The 22-year-old singer and reality star broke up with Ebbs just hours after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house in April, where she met former Love Island contestant Chris Hughes. Siwa and Hughes began dating immediately following her CBB exit, with their relationship moving quickly despite the long-distance challenges.

In July, Ebbs went public with her new partner, AFLW player Tilley Lucas-Rodd, posting a pointed caption that read:

"Hope this one doesn't cheat on me."

The comment appeared to reference Siwa's rapid relationship transition from Ebbs to Hughes. JoJo Siwa opened up to The Sun’s Fabulous about the shade thrown her way, slipping it into a chat about her romance with Hughes and what’s next for her. Celebrity Big Brother tossed her into a house full of famous faces stuck under one roof, where cameras catch every laugh, fight, and awkward silence. Being crammed together like that means friendships (and feuds) heat up fast. For JoJo, joining the show wasn’t just reality TV fun; it felt like a big step away from her kid-star past and into a louder, messier, very grown-up spotlight.

Big Brother: How did JoJo Siwa respond to Kath’s comment?

JoJo Siwa addressed Ebbs' social media comment with measured criticism during her interview. She expressed gratitude for recognizing relationship issues early rather than prolonging an unhappy situation. The Dance Moms alum suggested the post was motivated by attention-seeking behavior.

"I'm just lucky enough that I realized things when I did," Siwa explained.

Elaborating:

"I could have spent more time in my life being in a bad place. I'd rather not do that."

She described Ebbs' public comment as "interesting" and "funny," suggesting it revealed more about her ex's motivations than their past relationship. Siwa's relationship with Hughes developed quickly after Celebrity Big Brother ended. The couple has maintained their connection despite living in different countries, with Siwa based in America and Hughes in the UK.

Their bond has grown strong enough that JoJo Siwa has met Hughes' family multiple times. She has also expressed interest in relocating permanently to Britain to be closer to her boyfriend. The reality show environment appears to have accelerated their relationship timeline significantly. Siwa credits the unique circumstances of their meeting for creating an intense connection.

Despite the relatively short dating period, both Siwa and Hughes have begun discussing marriage plans. Siwa has specific ideas about their potential wedding, including a baby-blue color scheme.

She admitted wanting input on the wedding playlist, noting their different musical tastes. While Hughes prefers British bands like The 1975, Siwa leans toward American pop acts like NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys.

The couple has also discussed having children together. Siwa revealed they "pester each other" about starting a family, indicating mutual interest in expanding their relationship.

What does JoJo Siwa see long-term for her and Chris?

JoJo Siwa emphasized how well their families have bonded, and this integration has strengthened her confidence about their relationship's future potential.

Speaking on Heart's No Filter, she explained how their Celebrity Big Brother meeting created unique relationship dynamics. The accelerated timeline feels natural to both partners despite external observations about moving too quickly. Their families' approval and support have provided additional stability for the long-distance relationship. Siwa's response to Ebbs demonstrates her focus on moving forward rather than engaging in public disputes. Her measured comments suggest maturity in handling relationship transitions and media attention.

The singer appears committed to her new relationship while avoiding prolonged drama with her ex. Her emphasis on recognizing relationship problems early shows personal growth and self-awareness. JoJo Siwa's Celebrity Big Brother experience ultimately led to positive changes in her personal life, despite the public scrutiny surrounding her relationship choices.
