Kath Ebbs is now Instagram official with their new partner, just months after the widely dramatic breakup between them and JoJo Siwa.
The drama between Ebbs and Siwa was like no other, and for weeks it had the internet in a chokehold .
It all began when the 27-year-old influencer and Dance Moms star, 22, supported each other through Siwa’s Celebrity Big Brother appearance.
The pair had been together for around four months prior to the show starting, but when Siwa ended her TV stint, she also broke up with Ebbs.
During the reality show, the singer was seen getting cosy with former Love Islander Chris Hughes, 32. Upon finishing the show, Siwa and Ebbs ended their relationship at the wrap party, which Ebbs explained in an emotional Instagram video.

"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", they said.
Later, Siwa and Hughes announced their friendship had blossomed into a relationship and have been as loved-up as ever since.
But now, Ebbs has moved on too.
When Ebbs posted a series of black and white photobooth snaps, it was their way of officially introducing the world to Tilly Lucas-Rodd.
Lucas-Rodd is an Australian rules footballer for the Hawthorn Football Club in the AFL Women's (AFLW).
Having come out as non-binary (like Ebbs), on 10 May 2023, and has documented their journey with gender affirming care. For Lucas-Rodd, their journey has inspired many others, and fans love how honest they have been with their surgery.
In a recent post, they spoke of how it impacted their life: “The response to me sharing my story has been overwhelming. In a time when there is so much pain and fear felt by the queer community, I have felt so loved and supported. Thank you.”
They added: “Gender affirming care is life saving and life changing, and something that is sadly not accessible to all. Everyone deserves to feel at home in their body and experience the same joy I now do. To my trans and gender diverse family - I see you, I hear you, I love you. We got this.”
They previously played for the Carlton Football Club from 2017 to 2019 and the St Kilda Football Club from 2020 to 2022, and they have served as Hawthorn captain since 2022 season 7.
The way Ebbs broke the news online was sweet, with the Australian influencer poking fun at themselves, writing: “The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!”
After the news broke, fans said the same thing.
They love it!
One social media user wrote: “Screaming, crying & throwing up UGH I love love,” while a second added: “Heck yeah!!!!!” and a third wrote: “AHHHHHHHH.”
Another fan added: “Gaaaahhh yasssss I'm here for this,” with someone else agreeing: “Yayy for the hard launch.”
Others wrote: “This is TREMENDOUS!!!” and “OH MY GODDDDD STOP IM CRYING.”
“NOT stupidly!!!! So f**king happy for you!!!” gushed another.
Someone else wrote: “Omg yay yay yay, this is the happy ending I wanted to see for you!”
“Happy for you, deserve real happiness,” wrote another fan, while another shared: “Omg I love this for you so much.”
