JoJo Siwa’s ex Kath Ebbs responds to singer’s ‘confirmed romance’ with Chris Hughes
The CBB co-stars have grown even closer.
JoJo Siwa’s ex has responded with a sarcastic quip after Chris Hughes sparked rumours he has ‘hard launched’ a relationship with her.
Last week, the Celebrity Big Brother stars finally reunited for the first time since the ITV show’s final week, which saw Corrie’s Jack P. Shepherd declared the winner.
The pair have previously posted snaps playing tennis and out for dinner with 32-year-old Chris’s friends before JoJo, 22, had to fly back to the US, but neither has explicitly said anything about a romance.
Last night, however, Chris seemed to have hinted at his and JoJo’s relationship taking the next step in a series of snaps posted to his Instagram.
The two of them appear to be in Florida, with one of the pictures looking like it was taken in Downtown Disney in Orlando.
Within the post, which was captioned ‘The previous 7 days have been the prettiest’, both Chris and JoJo can be seen hugging and lying on each other.

In one of the snaps, he can even be seen smiling with JoJo’s mother, Jessalyn Siwa, having already met her family and joined in their birthday celebrations for the performer.
Responding on Instagram, fans were quick to suggest that a romance is brewing, one of the people side-eyeing the whole thing being Aussie musician Kath.
Kath, 27, was famously dumped by JoJo at the CBB wrap party, saying it made them feel ‘humiliated’ after flying from Down Under to meet her when she left the house.
JoJo later hit back, saying she didn’t ‘intend’ for the situation to escalate like it did, saying in a joint appearance with Chris on This Morning: ‘I’ll be honest, that was not a plan, that was not an intention, that was not supposed to happen like that.’
And while they haven’t directly addressed JoJo’s budding relationship with Chris, Kath’s latest Insta Story is rather telling.

Meanwhile, JoJo was quick to Chris’s comments section, replying to his caption about the ‘prettiest’ few days with: ‘& happiest:). Heart is overflowing’.
Also in the comments, their combined million of followers soon picked up on a vibe.
@pinkpeonyhome commented: ‘Okay, sooooo now what???’
@nwcheercoach added: ‘You two make the cutest couple! Love your love!’
@anyajade_x followed by writing: ‘This has to be a hard launch.’

@chloeboylexo added: ‘Just get together and make it official already.’
After Chris posted the photo dump to his Instagram, JoJo shared a video on TikTok showing a performance by her live in Mexico City.
Covering Kim Carnes’ 1981 hit Bette Davis Eyes, in the final chorus, JoJo switched the lyrics from ‘She’s got Bette Davis eyes’ to ‘Chris Hughes’ eyes’, once again prompting speculation that she wanted to confirm something.
During their time in the Big Brother house, she and Chris shared a number of vulnerable moments together, including when Chris comforted her after Mickey Rourke’s homophobic comments and when she opened up about her gender identity.
Metro has contacted representatives for Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa for comment.
