JoJo Siwa and her new Australian love interest appear to have soft-launched their relationship on social media, weeks after they were first spotted out on dates in Sydney.
The Dance Moms star and Kath Ebbs, who is the best friend of Abbie Chatfield, have been inseparable since the podcaster flew out to Los Angeles two weeks ago.
JoJo, 21, visited Australia to perform at the TikTok Awards on November 27, one week after confirming her break up with American dancer Dakaylah Wilson.
The pair had been dating since August.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Monday, Kath filmed JoJo fangirling over the Grey’s Anatomy musical episode and explaining its plot in great detail.
She then delivered an impromptu performance of it whilst driving.

The former child star looked happy and at ease on the outing, wearing a grey tracksuit and no makeup.
‘Just learnt that Grey’s Anatomy has a musical episode? And apparently we have a No.1 fan,’ Kath captioned the adoring video of JoJo singing while she drove.
The Karma singer then proceeded to shoot Kath a sultry side-eye while lip-syncing along to the lyrics.
‘Oh a whole show…’ they wrote nonchalantly, before making another five posts about the performance.
JoJo was brought to tears as she showed her new love interest a YouTube clip from the episode while they cuddled up together later on the couch.
During the 11th Annual American Reality Television Awards on November 18, JoJo revealed to People that she’d broken up with Dakaylah.
‘We have gone our separate ways, but she is an amazing girl,’ JoJo shared before adding, ‘And I got my own fun holiday plans, and I know she’s got her family that she’s spent the holidays with. I’m happy for her that she has [them].’

It’s not known how or when JoJo and Kath first met, but it’s likely that they were introduced by mutual friends, Aussie musician G Flip and their wife Selling Sunset star Chrishelle Stause.
JoJo, who has an estimated networth of US$21million put her Tarzana mansion on the market ahead of the Christmas holiday for $3.95 million.
The social media star initially purchased the lavish property in 2019 for $3.43 million when she was only 16-years-old, per Architectural Digest.
Chrishell and Omar Ababa from The Oppenheim Group currently have the listing, TMZ reported.
Kath, 27, hosts the podcast Call Me Kath and owns a health food store named The Smoothie Bowl Shack, located in the inner city suburb of Glebe.
They have also worked as a model and DJ and Nike ambassador, and made appearances in TV news segments as a queer activist.
Although JoJo had been single for a matter of two weeks before striking up a romance with Kath in the public eye, things between the pair seem to be moving quickly.
They were first spotted getting close on the Gold Coast in Queensland and then Kath took to social media to film JoJo marvelling over Australian petrol stations.
‘I didn’t pay for it. You could just drive off,’ JoJo said, stunned by the reversed process of fuelling a car in Australia.
JoJo literally jumped for joy when Kath emerged at LAX airport on December 13.

The two hugged each other tight upon their reunion.
JoJo, who came out as gay in 2021, has had several short-term relationships in recent years.
The Nickolodean star previously dated best friend Kylie Prew for several months in 2021. The pair broke things off, before getting back together briefly, and then breaking up again.
JoJo began dating TikToker Avery Cyrus in September 2022 and confirmed the romance after months of fan speculation.
However, she later admitted that she’d cheated on Avery with her ex Kylie, with Avery confirming that JoJo broke up with her via voice memo after reconciling with her on TikTok.
While promoting her song Karma on the Call Her Daddy podcast, JoJo said the relationship left her with trauma.
‘My last relationship was very public, by both of our choice,’ JoJo said. ‘Our getting together was very public, our official relationship was very public, our breakup was very public.’
The singer’s trip Down Under for the TikTok awards came just days after she officially confirmed her split from her most recent girlfriend, Dakayla.
They first met when JoJo was a judge on Dakayla’s season of So You Think You Can Dance, on which she placed second.
