Siwa, 21, was first spotted with local actor Kath Ebbs, who is a friend of Abbie Chatfield, in Bondi in December, where the pair enjoyed a date at a coffee shop.

In Ebbs’ latest TikTok, the actor refers to Siwa as their “American girlfriend” as the pair discussed the US TikTok ban.

It’s not known how the pair met, though Siwa visited Sydney in late November to perform at the TikTok Awards.

A week after the event, Siwa was still enjoying some down time in the harbour city, where she was spotted kissing Ebbs in Bondi, marking the first time they were seen together publicly.

Siwa, who came out as gay in 2021, previously dated best friend Kylie Prew for several months in 2021, and more recently, shared a three-month relationship with Dakayla Wilson. Siwa confirmed they had split in November.

Ebbs starred as Asher Nesmith in three episodes of Neighbours in 2022, heralding the long-running soap’s first non-binary character.

Meanwhile, Siwa came out as gay in 2021 and was in a relationship with her best friend Kylie Prew before they called it quits.

Last year, she was with Dakayla Wilson for three months before they also parted ways.

In an appearance on Demi Lovato’s hard-hitting documentary Child Star, Siwa recalled how she was “blackballed” from Nickelodeon after making her announcement.

“The president of the network called me and was like, ‘What are we going to tell the kids?’. I was like, ‘What do you mean?’. He was like, ‘What are we going to tell kids and parents?’,” Siwa said.

“I was like, “That I’m happy? What? You want me to tell them I’m making out with a girl? I’m not going to tell them that’.”

Siwa was then later not invited to the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, despite normally being a big draw for viewers.

“I basically got blackballed from the company,” she said. “They said [not being invited] was an accident. I guess I just didn’t realise, with how young I was, how ‘scary’ it was supposed to be.

“I think [coming out] was the best thing I’ve ever done. I don’t think coming out should be a scary thing. I wish there wasn’t that stigma around it, but there is.”
