The chemistry between Too Hot to Handle star Harry Jowsey and his Dancing With the Stars partner, Rylee Arnold, has led to dating rumors during their time on the reality competition series. Rylee's sister, Lindsay Arnold, who is also a DWTS professional but took a break in 2021, noted the cute connection between Rylee and Jowsey before season 32 debuted in September 2023.
"They look amazing," Lindsay commented on the duo's promotional photos when she appeared on the "Weekly Trash" podcast in September. However, she playfully cautioned Jowsey, who is eight years older than Rylee, saying, "No kissing my sister."
DWTS judge Derek Hough, on the other hand, appeared to approve of the pair during an episode of the show in October 2023. "You two are adorable together," he remarked after their foxtrot performance. "The chemistry is fantastic."

Defending His Partner
Jowsey expressed his concern for the pressure being placed on Rylee during her first season of DWTS, stating that whatever is happening behind the scenes should remain private. He further commented on a TikTok video that went viral, showing him and Rylee holding hands while walking through a crowded area of the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
