An Aussie TV star is reportedly dating a very famous Hollywood actress after sliding into her DMs on Instagram.

Seasoned Aussie reality TV star is reportedly dating glamorous Hollywood actress Lucy Hale.

Harry Jowsey, who rose to fame on the Netflix dating game show Too Hot To Handle, is said to be officially dating the Pretty Little Liars star.

Jowsey, 27, and Hale, 35, have reportedly been an item for some time but have kept their budding romance on the down low.

“[The relationship is] super casual, but not brand new,” a source told People.

It’s believed the pair “hit it off” when Jowsey – who has also appeared on The Amazing Race Australia, US Dancing With the Stars and Perfect Match – slid into Hale’s DMs on Instagram and “initiated things”.

“They are spending time together in [New York City] and it’s very new,” another source told Us Weekly.

“It’s casual and they are having fun, but Harry is very into Lucy,” the source added. “Friends around them think they are very cute and are a good, yet surprising match.”

According to the masthead, the pair connected over their mutual sobriety, with Hale being “very supportive” toward the Aussie’s decision to cut out alcohol.

The Scream 4 actress herself has been for sober since 2022, revealing on social media in February 2023 that she had been sober for one year.

“While this journey has mostly been private, I felt compelled tonight to let anyone who is struggling know that you are not alone and you are loved,” she wrote to mark the milestone at the time.

She again took to the platform in January 2024 to celebrate two years of sobriety to encourage and support other people battling the same issue.

“Please know you are not alone and that you do not have to trek this path alone. There is no right or wrong way to heal and it is deeply personal and unique to each of us,” Hale wrote.

“My only advice is to remain open-hearted, curious and to find the people who see and support you. It does get better. Take it moment by moment.”

Jowsey, for his part, has also been very transparent about his road to sobriety.

“I took a step back thought I could go down that path and I could go so badly into it, or I could just say, ‘This isn’t going to define me,’” he told Newsweek in 2022.

“I want to be focused and get my health and my career to everything it can be.”

This year, he candidly revealed he had been “peeing the bed” too often when he was drinking and knew enough was enough.

“There’s been too many nights where I’ve got a little bit too drunk and accidentally peed the bed,” he said in an Instagram video in January. “I’ve made a sausage of myself. That’s why this year I am declaring a sober 2025.”

Hale has previously been linked to Scream star Skeet Ulrich, former Bachelor Colton Underwood and musician Anthony Kalabretta.

As for Jowsey, he has dated his Too Hot To Handle co-star Georgia Hassarati and Perfect Match castmate Jessica Vestal, while also being linked to Kylie Jenner’s BFF, Stassie Karanikolaou.
