Where is Harry Jowsey from?

Harry was born in Yeppoon, Queensland, Australia. While he is currently based in Los Angeles, California, he spent part of his childhood in New Zealand, where his dad was from, and his family lives today. According to AF, “He was barred from attending his [NZ] graduation dinner after removing his clothes and streaking through their sister school’s prize-giving attended by the female pupils and their mothers.”

What happened to Harry Jowsey’s dad?

Ahead of the premiere, Netflix teased, “Grieving his father reshaped how he thinks about connection.” Harry announced that his dad died on December 4, 2024. He shared a black-and-white photo of his family, writing, “I love you Dad, I miss you. I’ll catch you on the other side.”

More recently, he posted an emotional video on TikTok, talking about his tradition of sharing a Corona with his dad every year on his dad’s birthday.

Who has Harry Jowsey dated?

During his first stint on reality TV in 2018, he fell for Georgia Bryers. Six months after he and Georgia won the $100,000 Heartbreak Island prize, Harry and Georgia went their separate ways.

On Too Hot to Handle, Harry coupled up with Francesca Farago. After the series launched, Harry and Francesca got engaged (with a Ring Pop) on the Zoom reunion special. However, long-distance took a toll on the couple, who were living in Australia and Canada, respectively, and they split in June 2020.

After a brief and messy romance with influencer Julia Rose, Harry started dating Georgia Hassarati, whom he met on his podcast, Tap In, in June 2022. While their relationship only lasted a few months, Harry and Georgia both claimed the other cheated on them. Today, Georgia and Harry are great friends, and she has joined Let’s Marry Harry as one of his three Confidants.

His most recent reality TV romance was with Love Is Blind‘s Jessica Vestal, whom he met on Perfect Match Season 2. Harry and Jessica split after the season filmed, while Harry was on Dancing With the Stars. At the time, Harry was dancing with Rylee Arnold, who fans were convinced he was dating. Jessica later told The Viall Files, “It’s kind of excruciating watching the world think you’re in love with someone else.”
