Harry Jowsey said these Rylee Arnold dating rumors after the pair’s undeniable chemistry on “Dancing with the Stars” had fans speculating for months about their relationship status.

In the premiere episode his new podcast “Boyfriend Material” the reality star claimed that not only did he and Arnold never date, but also that he had a secret girlfriend during the dance competition.

Elsewhere in the episode, Jowsey revealed that he was “madly in love” with another girl. Although the “Too Hot to Handle” star did not reveal the woman’s identity, some fans believe it could have been “Love Is Blind” alum Jessica Vestal. They were spotted packing into their PDA in Mexico in June 2023.

Jowsey took notice of him, and Arnold eventually “separated” him and his unidentified girlfriend.

“Obviously it ended and it fizzled because it’s very hard to see your boyfriend or girlfriend on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ being so close to someone else,” he explained. “Day by day [seeing] TikToks, news articles… absolutely everything.”

“She was so sweet, without a doubt,” Jowsey said of meeting the 18-year-old dancer, whom he described as a “sweet blonde” who was competing as a professional for the first time.

“But remember, guys, I had a secret girlfriend at the time, so I didn’t even think about it. I behaved like a good boy.

While filming season 32, the pair spent “at least 28 hours a week together.” Naturally, they “really got closer” when they opened up about their personal lives during hours of rehearsals.

However, Jowsey said the couple “set boundaries from the beginning” because he felt he wasn’t the “right guy” for her.

“I told her, ‘I love you and I care about you enough to tell you I’m not the right guy,'” he recalled, noting that he didn’t want to “rob her of her 20s.”

“I’m sorry if this answer breaks some hearts, but I’m here to confirm once and for all that Rylee and I were never [in] any kind of relationship,” he alleged.

However, he claimed that the duo “never gave in” to dating rumors or “pretended” for the cameras.

“It was just organic,” he added. “What you saw looked something like this. It was just incredible love and incredible friendship and just an incredible bond that we had.”
