Harry Jowsey sets the record straight here Rylee Arnold Dating rumors once and for all.
“What if you were told that I actually had a secret relationship to begin with? Dancing with the stars “All that editing and all that stuff kind of broke me and my girlfriend at the time,” Jowsey, 26, revealed on the first episode of his Boyfriend Material podcast, released earlier this week.
While calling out his apparent ex’s name, Jowsey told her “I miss you” before revealing more details about what really happened to Arnold, 18. (Fans have since speculated about the identity of Jowsey’s ex, throwing the name around some other reality stars on social media.)
Meanwhile, Jowsey was with Arnold DWTS Season 32 and fans were quick to speculate that the two were more than just friends. And to be fair, they seemed to contribute to the show too – just as many DWTS Duos have done it in the past.
“Obviously she was so sweet,” Jowsey said on his podcast about the first time he and Arnold met. “But remember guys, I had a secret girlfriend at the time, so I didn’t even think about it. I behaved well.”
Because they spent “at least 28 hours a week together,” he and Arnold became closer.
“Rylee saw me collapse in the middle of practice,” he said. “She saw me at my best and my absolute worst. I think it’s in these moments that you form a real bond with someone, especially when you’re going through things like that. We really became closer as we shared what was going on in our personal relationships.”
Jowsey made it clear that he was “not right” for Arnold, so they set boundaries “from the start.” Above all, Jowsey said he wanted to “protect” Arnold from all the drama in his life.
“I’m sorry if this answer breaks some people’s hearts, but I’m here to confirm once and for all that Rylee and I have never been there [in] any kind of relationship. We never agreed to it. We never put on a show or anything like that. It was just organic,” he added. “What you saw is what it was. It was just incredible love and great friendship and just a great bond that we had together.”
Fans were convinced that Jowsey and Arnold were together after they were spotted holding hands during an outing in Los Angeles in October 2023. Jowsey even purchased a $14,600 Van Cleef bracelet for Arnold after her performance DWTS The season was coming to an end.
It seemed like things were heating up as they continued dancing together, and the on-screen couple often praised each other.
“She’s never in a bad mood and always lively and will talk me up when I’m feeling a little down or worried about things and she knows when to sit me down and talk me out of whatever jam I’m in Jowsey said Us weekly last October. “I feel like everyone needs this in their life. She’s everything you could ever dream of.”
