Big gay news: Kath Ebbs and Tilly Lucas-Rodd are official
After a heartbreak that played out on the world stage, Kath Ebbs has given us the queer plot twist of the year (and we are so here for it).
In a sweet Instagram post shared on Thursday night, the Aussie actor and influencer announced their new relationship with AFLW star Tilly Lucas-Rodd.
Captioned “The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!” the post features an assortment of deeply adorable pics of the pair — smiling, cuddling, and glowing with the queer kind of love we all yearn for.
For those who’ve followed Kath’s tough year, this update is more than just relationship news. It’s a celebration of queer resilience, joy, and pride.
Because let’s be real: Kath has been through it.
Earlier this year, they went viral after revealing they were dumped by (arguably pretty toxic) ex JoJo Siwa at the Celebrity Big Brother UK afterparty.
And yeah, we all know what happened next (this is not the time to dwell on people like JoJo).

A new chapter we love to see
This new chapter feels like a reclamation.
A big, warm hug to every queer person who’s held onto hope, even when it hurt.
Tilly Lucas-Rodd, for their part, is no stranger to forging their own path.
The non-binary Hawthorn player made headlines as one of the first current AFLW athletes to speak publicly about undergoing top surgery, a moment of visibility that rippled through the sports world and beyond.
“This is what I’ve always seen internally,” Tilly shared in a 2025 interview. “Now, I just feel so happy and just like me.”
That same authenticity radiates from their presence online, and now, from every image shared alongside Kath.
It’s early days, and the couple doesn’t owe the public anything.
But for now, our community will be celebrating this moment. Not just because they’re cute (and they are), but because this kind of happiness matters.
In a world that can be quick to doubt the depth of queer love, this is a gorgeous, heart warming moment of love that we are more than excited to see.
Kath and Tilly, if you’re reading this: thank you for sharing your happiness. We’re rooting for you!
