JoJo Siwa’s ex Kath Ebbs has responded to speculation that the singer and Chris Hughes have confirmed their romance with a subtle dig on social media. 

The podcast presenter, 27, was left ‘devastated’ after they watched their then girlfriend JoJo, 22, strike up a bizarrely close bond with former Love Island personality Chris, 32, in the Celebrity Big Brother house last month. 

Kath and JoJo split up almost immediately after the Dance Moms star left CBB despite Chris insisting that their relationship in the house was ‘platonic’.

Speculation has been rife ever since, with fans insisting that JoJo and Chris are more than friends. 

And yesterday the pair added fuel to the fire as they seemingly confirmed their romance with a slew of snaps taken after Chris flew to the US for JoJo’s 22nd birthday.

‘You deserve each other two kind souls’; ‘Genuinely, if this isn’t love, I don’t know what is. How beautiful!’ 

MailOnline has contacted JoJo and Chris’ representatives for comment. 

Chris jetted over to Mexico from the UK ahead of JoJo’s birthday and they then spent time together in Orlando with her family.

JoJo will no doubt spend more time with Chris when she is set to return to the UK to perform at London’s venue Colours Hoxton for a sold-out show on May 26.

Chris also met many of JoJo’s family and friends during the epic trip, which left fans convinced their relationship has become romantic

A source previously revealed that he flew out to make sure they could celebrate her 22nd birthday together.  

They told The Sun: ‘Chris didn’t want to wait, he wanted to be there for her birthday. That’s what this was all about. It was important to him. It’s her birthday on May 19 so they’ll be spending it together.’

They added: ‘He could’ve waited until she landed in the UK for the next leg of her tour later this month but they wanted to be able to catch up away from prying eyes.’

Chris surprised fans by taking to Snapchat in the early hours of Sunday morning to reveal he’d flown 12 hours to Mexico to see JoJo, where she was booked to perform at a festival, ahead of her birthday. 

Chris shared a snap that showed him and JoJo cosied up to one another at their H๏τel in Mexico City, with the caption reading: ‘Finally reunited.’ 

The Love Island star had previously hinted he’d flown across the Atlantic to see his pal with a string of cryptic snaps, but finally confirmed their reunion as she took to the stage at Tec Emblema Festival.

After taking to the stage for her Mexico performance, JoJo herself shared a gallery of snaps from the trip, including a fun backstage snap with Chris.

She captioned the post: ‘Mexico, what a beautiful 24 hours my oh my. Thank you @tecate_emblema for having me:) The crowd was UNREAL, you all were so amazing.

After leaving the CBB house, both Chris and JoJo had shown they were still in touch, having both shared snaps on FaceTime to each other.

The pair have kept tongues wagging since they got out of the house, and on Saturday, offered a new glimpse at their friendship in images shared on Snapchat. 

JoJo had previously told how she was missing the UK ‘very much’ as she shared a tearful video of her heading home following her stay for CBB.

Fans have been convinced they have a blossoming romance, after JoJo called time on her relationship with partner Kath Ebbs at the CBB wrap party last month. 

JoJo and Chris kept viewers guessing over their relationship despite them clarifying during a This Morning appearance that they were ‘just friends’.

Many were left unconvinced, especially after Chris dropped out of appearing in the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating.

JoJo’s stoked the flames further when she failed to shut down a possibility of a romantic future when she appeared at Stanford Speakers Bureau for A Night with JoJo Siwa.

The Dance Moms star was asked how she sees the relationship progressing, to which she said: ‘I mean look, we have the absolute most fun together and he is an absolute gem that’s come into my life.

Fans have been sent into a frenzy over JoJo and Chris’ connection as they are convinced they have a blossoming romance since their time in the CBB house

JoJo’s words were met with an abundance of ‘awws’ from the crowd and reacting to them, she said: ‘Don’t let him see this it will boost his ego!’

She continued: ‘Genuinely something I love about him so much is that he has zero ego, he’s a really incredible sweet man. 

‘I told him this on the last night, maybe it wasn’t the last night but sometime. I said you’re a vital part of my life that I didn’t know was missing.’

‘But I’m happy that I don’t have to anymore. So yeah he is an awesome guy and I think he will be around for a very long time.’

Confirming that Chris is going nowhere, she added: ‘He’s a keeper, we’ll keep him around, we’ll see.’
