Rekindling Romance Rumors?
Throughout their DWTS season, the undeniable chemistry between Arnold and Jowsey became a hot topic, fueling dating rumors amongst viewers. Despite consistently denying any romantic involvement, both Jowsey and Arnold have openly expressed deep admiration and affection for their bond.
Jowsey, in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in October 2023, lauded Arnold’s perpetually positive demeanor, stating, “[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,” further highlighting their strong connection beyond the dance floor.
Adding fuel to the speculation, DWTS cohost Julianne Hough playfully referred to the pair as “lovebirds” in October 2023, inquiring about Jowsey’s experience working with Arnold. Jowsey’s response, “She’s just beautiful and amazing,” only intensified the fan fervor surrounding their relationship.
Shortly after their elimination from DWTS in November 2023, Jowsey’s presence at Arnold’s family Thanksgiving celebration further fanned the flames of romance rumors. Arnold shared via TikTok a video showcasing a lavish $15,000 Van Cleef bracelet gifted to her by Jowsey as a “thank you” for her dance instruction.
“You guys, I can’t believe he got it for me,” she exclaimed, showcasing the exquisite 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 Dancing With the Stars tour reunion has not only delighted fans with their captivating performances but has also reignited the ongoing speculation about a potential romance, keeping Harry Jowsey and Rylee Arnold firmly in the spotlight.
