Australian reality TV bad boy Harry Jowsey has all but confirmed his relationship with Lucy Hale.
The Too Hot To Handle star, 28, was reported to be in a ‘super casual relationship’ with the glamorous US actress, 35, by People and Us Weekly back in March.
And on Wednesday, Harry let slip how his romance with the Pretty Little Liars alum began thanks to an AI-generated Instagram message.
The unlikely pairing have kept their romance under wraps and it was not known how they met — until the reality TV star told the story live on-air during 2DayFM’s Jimmy & Nath Show with Emma.
Harry explained how he uses an AI tool to respond to direct messages sent from his 4.3million followers on the social media app.

‘I’ve got this AI thing that replies to my DMs. Meta has this thing you can turn on and it says the craziest stories,’ he said.
‘I DM’d this one girl and she responded. It replied right away. She was like “Oh, didn’t realise I was talking to AI. I thought this was you”.
‘I said, “No, it is me! If you want me to respond just text me here’s my number.” And it worked!’
Harry was caught off guard by a slippery question from Jimmy Smith: ‘But you and Lucy Hale are good now. That’s how you met, yeah?’
Harry went dead silent after the ‘gotcha’ moment.
His face turned an unmistakable bright red from embarrassment as the Queensland-born star struggled for words.
‘Harry’s not responding,’ co-host Emma said to fill in the silence.
‘That was very smooth, Jimmy.’

‘Uh…’ Harry trailed off, as all three hosts giggled at his awkwardness.
He cleared his throat and laughed uncomfortably.
‘You can blame the camera, but you going that red is a definitely yes,’ Nath declared, with Emma chiming in, ‘Aw he’s literally covering his face.’
Harry’s candid reaction confirmed that insider reports about how the relationship started were on the money, or at least close to it.
One anonymous source told Us Weekly the romance began after Harry messaged Lucy on social media.
‘They are spending time together in [New York City], it’s very new,’ they said.
The source added they ‘hit it off’ after bonding through their mutual commitment to sobriety.
‘They are having fun, Harry is very into Lucy. Friends around them think they are very cute and a good, surprising match,’ they revealed.

Jimmy then eased off the question to let Harry off the hook.
‘It doesn’t matter what you say Harry because we’ll use AI to agree,’ he joked, with the Aussie Netflix star gulping and saying, ‘Yeah, perfect.’
Although the pair are yet to be publicly spotted together, Harry does follow Lucy on social media.
Lucy recently marked three years of sobriety after previously admitting starring in Pretty Little Liars ‘fuelled’ her alcohol addiction.
Meanwhile, In January Harry made a firm commitment to sobriety after revealing he used to get so drunk he would wet the bed.
In January, the upbeat reality star shared a clip to Instagram in which he revealed he was switching to non-alcoholic drinks because he was sick of having accidents.
In the past, he has been marred with controversy and was labelled a f*** boy while appearing on season two of Netflix’s Perfect Match.
Viewers expressed their outrage online and even petitioned for Harry to be banned from appearing in other dating shows, after he was busted in a scandalous lie about not kissing co-star Melinda Melrose while romantically linked with Jessica Vestal.

Fans condemned Harry’s use of emotional manipulation, especially involving Jessica’s daughter, Autumn, whom he frequently mentioned wanting to be a role model for.
Harry has also been linked to several other reality stars and influencers including ex-fiancé Francesca Farago and Georgia Hassarati.
In an October 2021 episode of the BFFs podcast with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, Jowsey also said he had been romantically involved with transgender YouTuber Nikita Dragun and pledged his support for transgender women.
He first rose to reality TV fame after starring in the inaugural season of Too Hot to Handle in 2020.
Since then, he has started his own podcast titled Boyfriend Material, competed on Dancing With the Stars and even ventured onto OnlyFans.
