Who is Celebrity Big Brother star Jojo Siwa's partner Kath Ebbs? (2025)

Celebrity Big Brother's Jojo Siwa was left in tears following homophobic remarks made by Mickey Rourke on Wednesday's show, as her Australian influencer partner Kath Ebbs hit out labelling the Hollywood star a 'pig'

Jojo Siwa has been in a loved-up relationship with her non-binary partner Kath Ebbs since January. The antics on Celebrity Big Brother have already caused controversy this week when Jojo was left in tears by housemate Mickey Rourke on Wednesday night's episode.

Kath has now spoken out against the Hollywood actor's homophobic remarks made on last night's show. The Wrestler star was given a stern warning by Big Brother after he expressed his intent to "vote the lesbian out", alluding to Jojo, and further insulting her by saying "I need a fag" before declaring "I'm not talking to you".

Non-binary influencer Kath felt compelled to address the issue, feeling "sick" over the comments, and shared their thoughts in an Instagram video, in which she stated Mickey's comments were "rooted in misogyny and f***ing violence."

Narrating the exchange, they continued: "If men deem you unf***able, they have no use for you. If the male gaze is not a part of this situation and I have no power over you sexually – which no offence Mickey you look like a f***ing foot, so you don't stand a chance with anyone anyway because you're a f***ing loser – then I'm going to bully you.

"You're not going to play into my creepy jokes, I'm going to bully you and say that I don't want you here. And then he proceeds to call her a f****t. There are so many layers to that interaction, it makes me feel sick to my stomach."

Who is Kath Ebbs?

Kath identifies as non-binary and uses she/they pronouns. According to their social media platform, the Australian star works as an "occasional" actor, presenter and DJ. They also co-host the 'I've always said that' podcast.

When not busy with work projects, Kath expressed their passion for line dancing. They often upload their workout routine, with it clear that Kath stays in shape.

Boasting 90k Instagram followers, they certainly have a large fanbase. Earlier this year, Kath brought partner Jojo on stage alongside her at Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras - one of the largest LGBT festivals in the world.

Meanwhile, Kath's American singer girlfriend shot to stardom on reality show Dance Moms, and is expected to draw a big US audience.

The hitmaker has made a name for herself in the US pop charts and is known for her quirky style - and being a vocal member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Kath expressed relief that Big Brother issued Mickey a formal warning but emphasised that his language was "dangerous". "I would not want to be alone in a room with him and I wouldn't want anyone to be alone in a room with him," they remarked.

Sending a direct message to Mickey, Kath condemned: "Mate that wasn't a short fuse. You revealed yourself, you revealed the way that you really think and the way that you think about women and you feel a little bit ashamed because you got called out for it on a television show.

"Maybe instead, read a f***ing book, interrogate your f***ing behaviour and think about if you had a daughter or a sister or someone that you really loved who was a woman, would you leave them alone with you."

Elsewhere, on Instagram stories later, Kath also criticised Jojo's fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemates, saying: "Also the fact that only one person pulled him up on it is very telling of where we are at.

"Men don't bother wearing your ribbons on international women's day if you're not going to actually start doing something to end men's violence against women. It doesn't just start when a woman or queer person is physically assaulted. The ladder to that is comments like this."

During Wednesday night's episode, Big Brother issued Mickey a formal warning for his remarks, after which Mickey apologised to Jojo.

He said: "I apologise. I don't have dishonourable intentions - I'm just talking smack you know. I wasn't taking it all so serious. I didn't mean in it any bad intentions and if I did, sorry," in a conversation with Jojo.
