JoJo Siwa gives unexpected update on Chris Hughes relationship following Kath Ebbs split

JoJo Siwa has given another update on her friendship with Chris Hughes following the end of her relationship with Kath Ebbs.

Over the weekend following the wrap party for Celebrity Big Brother, Ebbs shared a candid video confirming Siwa had broken up with them.

Earlier on Monday (28 April), the former Dance Moms star appeared on This Morning alongside the Love Island alum to discuss their time on the show.

This Morning presenter Cat Deeley asked the ‘Karma’ singer: "You've grown up being on TV shows. You understand it. You're very open and honest. There's been so many different reports over this weekend, what's the truth?"

Siwa then gave a rundown of her time in the house: "Day three, I was now in my own thoughts, away from everyone that I know, away from outside opinions, away from everything, and I sat with myself.

"And from that point on, I really realised things that I was okay with in my life that I should never have been okay with in the first place."

Deeley then asked: "Do you mean your relationship?"

"So many things,” Siwa responded. “That is one of them, but so many things. And then I, you know, obviously I wanted to hold them inside, though, because I didn't want to air that out very publicly.

"But there were countless things that I was like, that's not, you know, something that I should be okay with and I don't need to be okay with and I'm not happy, and I knew as soon as I got out, I wanted to fix things in my life and make the changes that I needed to make.

"Because I don't know, I think you have this experience that's so exhilarating. It's 20 days, but it feels like it's four and a half years, and the first thing you want to do when you get out is just exactly what you need to do in your life to make it as good as you can.

"And I think I realised just how not great things were that I was pretending they were great. And it's been hard, but it's, it's been good. And I'm very happy with where I am now. I'm very grateful."

Siwa confirmed that the breakup happened at the wrap party, adding: "I'll be honest, that was not a plan, that was not an intention, that was not supposed to happen like that.

"Initially, I was told that, you know, the wrap party was something they didn't want to attend. And then about an hour into the wrap party, they decided they wanted to, and so I was genuinely just going to have a conversation before, and then it just led to another.

"They straight up asked me if I was happy, and I said no. And, you know, one thing led to another, and that conversation did take place there."

And regarding the romance rumours between them, the pair said their bond is platonic.

Since then, Siwa has shared a new carousel of pictures with Hughes playing tennis after the pair said they planned to play the game together after their time on CBB.

Siwa captioned the post with a tennis ball emoji and the word ‘update’, suggesting the singer and dancer will be coupled up with Hughes (a friendship couple, of course) on the tennis court for a little while longer.

The post also included a video of Hughes throwing a tennis ball at JoJo, who then launched it across the court, leading the two to then do a quick handshake.

Hughes also responded in the comments: "6-0, 6-0."
