It came shortly after the duo shared an intimate video together before snuggling up in bed – in a snap which has since been deleted.
The actress and singer – who formed a blossoming connection with ITV Racing pundit Chris, 32, in Celebrity Big Brother this year – has now opened up on the “genuine” nature of their bond.
She said: “People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop
“I think everyone’s just curious, and I can’t blame them.”
Clarifying the pair’s exact relationship status she told The Guardian: “It’s not platonic any more, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”
She added: “I won’t ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now.
“Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I’ve never been in pain from smiling so much.”
SHOCK SPLIT
The Boomerang songstress was dating partner Kath Ebbs when she stepped foot in the ITV spy house.
Yet Kath, 27, revealed they had been dumped by the US TV alum during the wrap party for the reality series.
Taking to Instagram at the time, Australian content creator Kath, said they were in “complete shock” and felt “numbed out and humiliated” after being dumped by JoJo.
Yet she has now told how she is “preserving her piece” – and not hitting back at her former partner’s social media post.
After revealing she was no longer a lesbian in the CBB compound during the show’s live stream she said she now wants to identify as queer.
During a private chat in the bedroom, she confessed: “I feel so queer,”, as co-star Danny then responded: “I’m queer!”
JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs’ relationship
We look back at JoJo Siwa’s romance with Kath Ebbs:
JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs’ relationship in January 2025.
The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier.
JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after.
Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: “I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it’s beautiful. It’s taught me so much about life.
“It’s taught me so much about love and respect, and it’s a beautiful thing.
“It’s different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn’t even know what to say the biggest is ‘cause just everything is so different and special.”
Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together.
However, JoJo’s romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party.
JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house – where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes.
In her new interview, she told how the phrase “encompasses how I am, and who I am.”
She added: “I do live this very, very big public life that has so many eyeballs on it, and it can get really hard to navigate.
“But I’m also living a human life. You can’t help who you love.”
The term queer is defined by LGBTQ charity Stonewall as “a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity”.
JoJo’s sexuality was already a subject of conversation on CBB when American actor Mickey Rourke made a homophobic slur when talking to her earlier on in the series.
