"We have never gone into the kitchen. My head's not turning anyway," Siwa declared per Independent TV's Lorraine Peters. The reality TV star also used the chance to gush on her TV pal, describing him as "the best man" who would never disappoint him in any situation.

As "CBB" drew its curtains, Siwa's 3-months-old relationship with Ebbs also came to an abrupt end. The reality left the Australian DJ feeling blindsided and utterly heartbroken. In a now-deleted TikTok video, Ebbs said:

"I honestly feel so numbed out right now and so disorientated [sic] that I feel like the only thing I have to do to place this situation is to finally address it after two weeks of sitting back, watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person that it involved — who was, what I thought — one of the great loves of my life."

Ebba revealed that she initially thought Siwa's storyline with Hughes was for mere entertainment on the show. Instead, it became her worst nightmare.

She alluded to feeling betrayed by her ex's behavior on the show, reiterating that it was "probably one of the most craziest, intense, awful, horrific experiences" of her adult life.

Safe to say, the former couple did not end things on a friendly note. The dancer shared her side of the story, explaining that things got pretty intense at the "CBB" after-party after she ended things with Ebbs.

As noted by The Blast, her ex had initially planned to skip the party, but she eventually arrived very late. Things soon escalated between the estranged couple who got into a heated discussion.

Siwa added that her ex hurled hurtful words at her despite her wish not to have any emotional conversation at that venue. The former child star then emphasized her intention not to address more details about their relationship on any public platform based on Ebbs' requests.

However, the situation did not deter the former reality star from expressing her happiness with her current self, with plans to stay that way.

Whatever the arrangement between JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes is, the singer seems happy, and that is all that matters!
