Kath Ebbs is officially moving on. Just three months after being publicly dumped by JoJo Siwa following the Celebrity Big Brother finale, the 27-year-old content creator has gone Instagram official with a new partner, AFLW player Tilly Lucas-Rodd. The couple shared intimate photo booth snaps on Instagram, including a kiss and smiling embraces, confirming their relationship after weeks of speculation. “The rumours are true! Yes I still (stupidly) believe in love,” Kath captioned the post.

Tilly, 29, is a professional Australian Rules footballer for Hawthorn and the first AFLW player to undergo top surgery, which they documented on social media. They are non-binary and use they/them pronouns. Their flirty exchange with Kath first began on TikTok earlier in July when Kath posted a video with the caption, “Hope this one doesn’t cheat on me,” in a thinly veiled reference to JoJo. Another clip called Tilly her new ‘crush,’ with Tilly responding playfully in the comments.

The social media reveal follows a very public breakup. JoJo, 21, reportedly ended things with Kath just hours after leaving the CBB house, where she had grown increasingly close with fellow contestant Chris Hughes. Their flirtatious behaviour raised eyebrows, especially since JoJo was still publicly with Kath at the time. After the finale, JoJo immediately began dating Chris and has since spoken openly about wanting to marry him.

Fans have rallied behind Kath, flooding her comments with support. “You definitely won that break-up,” one wrote. “WAG era activated,” said another. Even pop singer Peach PRC joined in, commenting, “YAAAYYY.”

The reveal also came just hours after Kath was approached at the airport by paparazzo Jayden Seyfarth, who bombarded her with intrusive questions about JoJo. She remained calm but gave no comment. That same day, she introduced her new relationship to the world.
