JoJo Siwa’s ex Kath Ebbs responds to ‘engagement’ claims months after being dumped at Big Brother wrap party
Kath took to Instagram to address the speculation once and for all
JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs has responded to 'engagement' claims months after being broken up with at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party.
Now, whether you're a fan of reality TV, JoJo Siwa or just happened to be on the internet when all this chaos went down earlier this year - you'll no doubt know all about the JoJo-Kath-Chris Hughes love triangle.
In case you need your memory refreshed, Kath, 28, is the ex of Dance Moms star JoJo. The pair were in a relationship when JoJo, 22, entered the CBB house in April.
During the ITV programme, JoJo got close with former Love Islander Chris, 32, but insisted they were just good friends and nothing more was going on.

But, ultimately, upon finishing the show, JoJo dumped Kath at the wrap party, which the latter explained in detail in an emotional Instagram video just days after it happened.
In the video, they recalled: "I was told there were confused feelings there. And they had realised in the house I wasn’t the person they wanted to spend the foreseeable with.
"It seems to me I have experienced a version of [love bombing]. Being told I’m the love of someone’s life, being asked to marry them before this social experiment."
Fast forward to June, and JoJo and Chris officially became a couple after months of flying back and forth between the UK and America - and they're still going strong today.
Meanwhile, Kath also moved on with Tilly, an Australian rules footballer for the Hawthorn Football Club in the AFL Women's (AFLW), revealing their new romance just a month later in July.
The latest update in the saga came yesterday (2 December) when the couple - who both use they/them pronouns - joked about getting engaged, something which sparked a total frenzy online, with multiple outlets reporting on the alleged 'engagement announcement'.
The claims were first reported by MailOnline after the TikTok Live saw the Australian pair apparently show off their engagement rings, telling their fans they were set to marry.
This, however, was just one big 'running joke' as Kath has since taken to Instagram to clear up the whole thing once and for all.
They began saying on their Story: "Guys, I'm p*ssing myself. So I just woke up and [...] so last night, me and Tilly [...] to be fair, Tilly was pranking me and clicked TikTok Live, do you think I've ever done a TikTok Live in my life?"
They basically explained that they and Tilly were having a bit of a joke because of the fact that they both wear 'wedding rings on our wedding fingers'.
"We're like, yeah, we're engaged, call the Daily Mail! We're engaged!" Kath continued, adding: "And I've woken up to articles saying that me and Tilly are engaged. And that, my friends, is how fickle the news cycle is."
In a follow-up Instagram Story, Kath went on to admit: "I feel like every time I open TikTok, something happens. Something happens.
"I feel like when I'm my silly, silly, silly sarcastic, taking the p*ss, self on here [Instagram], sometimes I get misunderstood, but most of the time, you'll understand me," they said. "You know that I'm just a silly, silly boy.
"As soon as I open TikTok, people are just on there either calling me names, not getting my humour."
Kath then theorised: "I think it's like Americans, they take me honestly. Or speaking of, I apparently am getting married. Oh God."
They then shared screenshots of the thumbnail the MailOnline used for the 'engagement announcement' story, writing in overlay text: "They did my so fkin dirty with the thumbnail though..."
"Can you imagine this is how I announced my engagement," Kath joked before finally zooming into the photo, with some more writing saying 'bit nervous about the wedding'.
