Jojo Siwa has only been in Australia a few days but it appears she has made some local friends.
The American dancer and pop star was spotted sharing a warm moment with Australian podcaster Kath Ebbs on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
The pair seemed very comfortable in one another’s company, with JoJo at one stage clutching Kath’s face as they giggled together.
JoJo, 21, kept things casual in a black hoodie which she wore pulled up over her hair, along with black track pants.
The Dance Moms star was carrying a metallic backpack and had a Nike carry-one case by her side.
Kath opted for a green hoodie with a white print along with blue jeans and also had a suitcase with her.

Kath, who describes herself as a ‘queer artist’ and goes by they/she pronouns, is known to be best mates with fellow podcaster and television host Abbie Chatfield.
She frequently appears on Abbie’s social media with the pair partying together among their group of Sydney-based friends.
The 27-year-old 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.
She has also worked as a model and DJ, as well as being described as a queer activist.
JoJo meanwhile is visiting Australia after suffering a recent heartbreak.
She arrived in Sydney Tuesday for the 2024 TikTok Awards, and performed at the ceremony on Wednesday.
The rare one-off performance is her first return Down Under since her Dream tour in January 2020.
‘After four long years, it’s going to be freaking amazing to return to Australia – I’ve even gotten a kangaroo tattoo since my last visit,’ JoJo said of her return.

‘On TikTok I get to connect with fans all over the world and share my music with them, and now I get to do both with my Aussie fans in real life at the TikTok Awards.’
The singer’s trip Down Under for the awards came just days after she confirmed her split from her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson.
She shared the news of their separation at the 11th Annual American Reality Television Awards last week, three months after they made their romance public.
She told People: ‘We have gone our separate ways, but she is an amazing girl.
‘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].’
They first met when JoJo was a judge on Dakayla’s season of So You Think You Can Dance, on which she placed second.
Their romance first came to light in August when JoJo accompanied Dakayla to a dance class, with a video showing her tell the students she had a girlfriend.
JoJo then opened up about her romance with Dakayla and their decision to go public in an interview with LadyGunn Magazine in September.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Kath Ebbs for comment.
