JoJo Siwa Says She’s Not a Lesbian Anymore — Identifies as Queer

Pop sensation and former Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa has opened up about her sexual identity in a candid conversation during her time on Celebrity Big Brother. Known for being vocal about LGBTQ+ rights, Siwa now says she no longer identifies as a lesbian — a label she once embraced proudly. Instead, she now feels more aligned with the broader term queer.

This revelation comes at a time when Siwa’s growing connection with fellow housemate Chris Hughes is making waves, raising questions about her current relationship with actor and podcaster Kath Ebbs, whom she officially announced as her partner earlier this year.

JoJo Siwa Opens Up About Her Queer Identity

During a heart-to-heart with RuPaul’s Drag Race star Danny Beard, Siwa revealed that she’s recently undergone a shift in how she views her sexual identity. While she previously identified as a lesbian, Siwa admitted, “I feel like I’ve dropped the L and now identify as a Q.”

She credited Beard for helping her realize this change, saying that being around them made her feel more in tune with her own identity. Siwa explained that for years, she kept trying to reinforce her lesbian identity to herself, but being in the Celebrity Big Brother house helped her better understand her fluidity. “That’s what I love about sexuality,” she said. “It can grow with you.”

At just 21 years old, JoJo continues to explore and express her authentic self in a public space — a move that many fans have praised for its honesty and openness.

Trouble in Paradise with Kath Ebbs?

While Siwa’s identity journey is empowering, it’s also stirring speculation about the status of her relationship with Kath Ebbs. The two had confirmed their romance in January and often posted affectionate photos together. Ebbs, a nonbinary actor and podcaster, had become a beloved part of Siwa’s public life.

However, things may be shifting. Since Siwa entered the Celebrity Big Brother house, fans have noticed her increasing closeness with Chris Hughes — a fellow contestant on the show. The pair have been seen cuddling, sharing a bed, and even exchanging flirtatious banter. In one episode, Hughes told Siwa he would kiss her, and later, she was seen licking chocolate off his shorts, sparking plenty of chatter online.

According to The Sun, Ebbs’s social media activity has slowed, which many interpret as a possible sign of tension or distance in the relationship. Though neither Siwa nor Ebbs has made a public statement about their current status, the speculation continues to grow.
