Former Dancing With the Stars partners Harry Jowsey and Rylee Arnold sent fans into a frenzy as they reunited on stage for the Dancing With the Stars tour. The pair, who charmed audiences during season 32 of the show, rekindled their on-stage chemistry, performing for enthusiastic crowds and sharing fun moments on social media.
Jowsey, the charismatic 26-year-old reality TV star, joined the 18-year-old dance pro Arnold on tour on Tuesday, February 20. This marked their first live performance together since their season on Dancing With the Stars concluded. Building anticipation for their reunion, Harry and Rylee treated fans to a series of playful TikTok videos, showcasing their off-stage camaraderie and humor.
In one viral clip, Arnold playfully peeked into a doorway, lip-syncing to Muni Long’s catchy tune “Made For Me.” Jowsey then comically admired himself in a mirror before joining Arnold for a brief dance snippet. The video culminated in a playful chest bump, with Arnold playfully falling into Jowsey’s arms, who then hopped onto her back for a spin. Arnold captioned the delightful post, “First show tonight for harry!!!!🫶🏼🪩✨ @Harry Jowsey @DWTS Live!” signaling the excitement surrounding Harry’s tour debut.
Jowsey also engaged in the social media fun, sharing a TikTok video where he jokingly feigned amnesia regarding their past dance routines. Using a popular audio clip, he mouthed, “Excuse me, I need your help,” followed by a humorous, “You need to kill me,” as Arnold smiled in the background. “First show in 20 mins wish me luck,” he captioned, highlighting the last-minute jitters before their performance. Arnold’s supportive comment, “smashed it,” later confirmed the success of Harry’s tour debut.
During the live show, the duo transported the audience back to their Dancing With the Stars journey, reprising their week 1 cha-cha set to Justin Timberlake’s energetic hit “Rock Your Body.” They also incorporated segments of their memorable group dances, including a vibrant performance to PSY’s global sensation “Gangnam Style,” further electrifying the crowd.
Throughout their season on Dancing With the Stars, Arnold and Jowsey’s undeniable chemistry ignited dating rumors. Despite consistently denying any romantic involvement, both have openly acknowledged and celebrated their deep connection. Jowsey, in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in October 2023, praised Arnold, saying, “[Rylee’s] never in a bad mood and she’s always bubbly and brings me up when I’m feeling a little bit flat. I feel like everyone needs that in a person in their life. She’s everything you could ever dream of.”
Arnold reciprocated the sentiment, describing Jowsey as the “sweetest person you’ll ever meet” and “so fun to be around.” Adding fuel to the dating speculation, DWTS cohost Julianne Hough playfully referred to them as “lovebirds” in October 2023, further emphasizing their perceived close bond. When Hough inquired about what Jowsey admired about working with Arnold, he responded, “She’s just beautiful and amazing,” further endearing them to fans who were captivated by their partnership.
Even after their elimination from DWTS in November 2023, their connection remained strong. Jowsey joined Arnold’s family for Thanksgiving, further blurring the lines between professional partnership and personal friendship. Arnold shared on TikTok that Jowsey gifted her a lavish $15,000 Van Cleef bracelet as a “thank you” for her dance mentorship. “You guys, I can’t believe he got it for me,” she exclaimed, showcasing the jewelry. “I think it is literally the most beautiful bracelet I’ve ever seen. I’m the luckiest girl ever. Wow. It’s so cute.”
Their reunion on the Dancing With the Stars tour has not only delighted fans who rooted for them during season 32 but also reaffirmed the special bond between Harry Jowsey and Rylee Arnold, both on and off the dance floor. Their continued interactions keep fans guessing and hoping for more from this dynamic duo.
