Kath Ebbs has confirmed they have a new partner after splitting up from JoJo Siwa, and we’re so happy for them.
The non-binary influencer and Australian presenter, who uses they/them pronouns, shared on Friday (1 August) that they’re in a new relationship with Australian footballer Tilly Lucas-Rodd.
“The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!,” Ebbs wrote beneath an adorable post of the pair from a loved-up photobooth shoot.
Ebbs’ new partner, Lucas-Rodd, who is also non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, commented, “Thanks for sliding in (sorry for making you wait 2 years).”
The AFL football player currently represents the Hawthorn Football Club, and previously played for the Carlton Football Club and the St Kilda Football Club.
Ebbs’ latest announcement comes around three months after the star revealed their relationship demise with former partner Siwa. After the former Dance Moms star left the Celebrity Big Brother house, Ebbs spoke out about their breakup.
Ebbs alleged that Siwa “dumped” them at the Celebrity Big Brother after-party. “I was told that there are confused feelings there, and that they had realised in the house that I wasn’t the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable [future],” Ebbs claimed at the time.
Siwa later told her side of the story, telling This Morning hosts that it was not her “plan” to her relationship with Ebbs at the party.
Siwa, who uses all pronouns, said: “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…
“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.”
We’re so happy for Ebbs and Lucas-Rodd, and wish them all the happiness together.
