JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes share loved-up posts as her ex takes a swipe amid new romance

Former Celebrity Big Brother co-stars Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa paid tribute to each other in posts shared this week. It comes after the dancer's ex-partner Kath Ebbs went public with their own new romance just a few days ago.

JoJo, 22, and Chris, 32, grew close whilst on the reality TV show in April. It was later announced that she had dumped her partner Kath, 27, at the afterparty and JoJo has kept fans updated on her relationship with Chris since then.

The couple have given fans insights into their life together in recent months and this week teased that singer JoJo is now officially the former Love Island star's 'girlfriend'. It comes after Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones split as he joins a notorious dating app on a lads' holiday.

JoJo and her partner posted about their relationship yesterday to mark National Girlfriends Day, which is said to be about friendship, but is also considered by some to be a holiday for couples and romantic relationships. Chris shared a photo on Instagram that showed them cosied up together, with him writing in the caption of the post: "This is my GF."

Chris shared a series of posts on Snapchatfor the occasion too, including him having uploaded several photos of the pair together. Alongside one of the photos, he wrote in a caption: "National GF day so here so is, my universe."

JoJo also celebrated the occasion on social media. Over a photo of Chris cuddled up with her on a sofa, she wrote in a post on Instagram earlier this week: "Happy national girlfriends Day to me." She added: "Lucky lucky girl I am."

The posts comes after JoJo's ex-partner Kath went public with their own new relationship on Thursday. They revealed on Instagram that morning that they are now dating Tilly Lucas-Rodd, 29, following their split from JoJo back in April.

Kath looked loved-up with Tilly, who plays in the AFL Women's division of the Australian Football League, in a photo that showed them in a photobooth. It was shared by Kath on the platform alongside a caption about love.

Alongside the photo, Kath seemed to take a swipe over their experience dating JoJo. In the caption that accompanied the photo two days ago, they wrote to their followers: "The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!"

Kath's post has now amassed almost 20,000 likes on the platform and fans shared excitement in the comments section. One person wrote: "Ah yes! Things we love to see!" Another said: "The happy ending you deserve (and we all wanted!)."

The news comes just months after Kath announced that JoJo had dumped them at a Celebrity Big Brother afterparty in April. Kath said: "I flew here and I went to the live show to show up for my partner and support them in their experience and then obviously later on address my feelings of like hurt and work through them like all relationships do."

Kath added: "[I] was dumped in the party. I was told that there are confused feelings there - do with that what you will - and that they realised in the house that I wasn't the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable [with]."

JoJo addressed the situation on This Morning shortly afterwards, saying: "That was not a plan. That was not an intention. That was not supposed to happen like that. Initially I was told that y'know the wrap party was something they didn't want to attend."

She added: "Then about an hour into the wrap party they decided they wanted to. And so I was genuinely just gonna have a conversation before and then it just led to another. They straight up asked me if I was happy and I said no. And one thing led to another and that conversation did take place there."
