If you’d have told us this time last month that one of the biggest storylines on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother would be the friendship between Dance Moms child star turned pop sensation JoJo Siwa and Love Island's Chris Hughes then we’d never have believed you.
Well, actually, anything can happen on CBB, so maybe we would have. But still, we never saw this Celebrity Big Brother 2025 pairing coming…
Following her time in the house, JoJo is basically all anyone’s talking about, so here’s everything you need to know about her.
What is JoJo Siwa's full name?
JoJo full name is Joelle Joanie Siwa.
How old is JoJo Siwa?
She was born on 19 May 2003, making her 21 years old.

How did Jojo Siwa become famous?
JoJo Siwa rose to fame after she joined the likes of Maddie Ziegler (the girl from Sia's Chandelier video) and Chloe Lukasiak (best dancer at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards) on reality show Dance Moms.
JoJo left the show in 2016 but, that same year released her debut single, Boomerang. Since then, she has released three EPs (as well as a Christmas EP) and featured in the music video for Meghan Trainor's Christmas hit, I Believe in Santa. She made her return to music in 2024 after four years away and went viral with her song Karma.
JoJo's music career is just the tip of the iceberg. In 2017, her acting career started to kick off. JoJo guest starred in a number of TV shows and movies including The Angry Birds Movie 2 and her own Nickelodeon mini animated series, The JoJo and BowBow Show.
On top of all that, JoJo has over 12MILLION subscribers on her YouTube channel, Its Jojo Siwa, and she's won four Nickelodeon Kid's Choice awards, including one for Musical YouTube Creator.
Who is JoJo Siwa's partner?
JoJo was in a relationship with actor, presenter, influencer and DJ Kath Ebbs when she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house, but according to Kath, JoJo dumped them just hours after leaving the house after Kath flew to London to be there on the night of the final.
Taking to Instagram, Kath explained, 'In the last eight hours I flew here and I went to the live show to show up for my partner and support them in their experience and then later on address my feelings of hurt and work through them.
'Before I could even get back to the hotel I went to the afterparty with my, I guess now ex, crazy thing to say, and was dumped at the party.
'I was told that there are "confused feelings there", take from that what you will, and that they had realised in the house that I wasn't the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable'.
The pair first started dating when JoJo flew out to Australia for the TikTok Awards last November. Kath then made the move to LA to live with JoJo in January 2025.
As well as being an actor, model, influencer and DJ, Kath co-hosts the I've Always Said that podcast.
What going on with JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes?
Isn't that just the million dollar question? JoJo formed a close relationship with the Love Island 2017 star in the Celebrity Big Brother house, with the pair even spooning and stroking each other's back in bed. Of course, JoJo was in a relationship and identified as a lesbian at the time, so their relationship was platonic but it confused viewers nonetheless.
They've already been spotted hanging out in the outside world, with a fan snapping the pair at a golf and tennis club the weekend after the CBB final.
When was JoJo Siwa on Celebrity Big Brother?
JoJo appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in April 2025. She entered the house on day one and made it all the way to the final, where she finished in third place.
How much is JoJo Siwa worth?
From her TV and film appearances to her ever-growing merchandising range, it is estimated that JoJo Siwa is worth a whopping $20million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
It was recently reported that she earned £400,000 from her time in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
How did JoJo Siwa come out?
JoJo came out in January 2021 when she filmed a TikTok of herself lipsyncing to Born This Way by Lady Gaga. She later wore a t-shirt which had 'best gay cousin' written on it.
In April 2021, JoJo revealed she 'technically' identifies as pansexual in an interview with PEOPLE. She said, 'I don’t know, bisexual, pansexual, queer, lesbian, gay, straight. I always just say gay because it just kind of covers it — or queer, because I think the key word is cool. I like queer. Technically I would say that I am pansexual, because that’s how I have always been my whole life is just like, my human is my human.'
Speaking to fellow CBB housemate Danny Beard during her stay in the house, JoJo opened up about her sexuality and told the RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner, 'It’s made me feel so queer, and I’ve always been afraid of feeling "queer." Like, I always said "lesbian," right? But I feel, like, so queer… I think I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realised, "Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer." And I think that’s really cool.'
