Harry Jowseyis addressing the rumors that he’s dating hisDancing with the Starspartner Rylee Arnold.
Speaking to PEOPLE following his performance on Tuesday night’s show, theToo Hot to Handlestar, 26, called the speculation a “little bit unfair.”
“I think that it’s a little bit unfair on Rylee so early on,” Jowsey says of the rumors. “She’s so green to this whole world and everyone having an opinion, and stuff like that.”
Arnold joined the dancing competition for season 32, but she’s no stranger to the ballroom — she’s the younger sister ofDWTSalumLindsay Arnold, who won the Mirrorball withJordan Fisherin season 25.
Jowsey and Arnold impressed the judges with their latest dance, scoring 24 out of 40 for their Foxtrot as the show honored the music of Motown.
Praising how “charming” Jowsey was, Bruno Tonioli told him, “The care you took of your girl was wonderful to watch.”

“I just think because this week has been so difficult, and the foxtrot isn’t easy,” Jowsey says of why he was so surprised. “It’s been such a taxing week, mentally and physically. And then to hear them all say lovely things just shocked me. I was sitting there, I don’t even know if my frame was up, I don’t know if I got the right steps. I fully was just trying to be in the moment, so I think it just caught me off guard. I was expecting them to slaughter us this week.”
