Lucy Hale and Harry Jowsey are in the early stages of dating, according to multiple reports.
A source told People Wednesday that their relationship is “super casual, but it’s not brand new.”
Meanwhile, another insider claimed the two have been “spending time together in New York City,” per Us Weekly.
The “Hating Game” actress, 35, is reportedly “having fun” with the “Too Hot to Handle” star, 27, who “initiated things” by sliding into Hale’s direct messages.
The two initially “hit it off” over their mutual sobriety and Hale has been “very supportive toward” Jowsey’s decision to ditch alcohol, the source told Us Weekly.
“It’s casual and they are having fun, but Harry is very into Lucy,” the insider said. “Friends around them think they are very cute and are a good, yet surprising match.”
Reps for Hale and Jowsey did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The “Pretty Little Liars” star revealed in January that she was officially three years sober after previously opening up about her past “self-destructive” battle with alcoholism.
Similarly, Jowsey has teetered with his sobriety for years. However, in January, he “declar[ed] a sober 2025.”
That same month, the reality TV star revealed he had been celibate for “a couple months.”
On an episode of the “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, Jowsey explained that he had abstained from sex ever since his dad’s death toward the end of 2024.
“My dad died, and I was like, ‘I’m not horny,’” the reality star explained. “But also, I’m not talking to anyone so I was like, ‘I’m just gonna lay off it for a little bit.’”
Jowsey went home to New Zealand toward the end of his dad’s life and said he came back to Los Angeles with a completely “new energy” — including around dating.
“I think because I spent so much time with my family I’m like, ‘Oh I should probably be serious about a relationship now,’” he explained. “Because my mom was like, ‘I really want a grandkid,’ and my dad passed and he was like, ‘You’d be a great father, you need to have a kid’ … so I really got in my own head.”
Jowsey explained that he has 12 nieces and nephews between his four sisters, which made him realize he was yearning for a family of his own.
“I was like, ‘Oh this is actually really, really nice and I want to join the clan,’” he said.
“Then I was looking at myself and I’m like, ‘Well, am I really presenting myself as someone that is a good boyfriend or a good husband?’” he questioned. “So it made me really put myself in a potential partner’s shoes and go, ‘What is good about this guy and what is bad about this guy? And do I see him being a father?’”
After the self-reflection, Jowsey realized he is “not really there yet” and decided it was time to “do the groundwork to get [him]self more presentable, more attractive and more locked in” on who he wants to become.
“I was thinking about, like, the type of woman I want to attract and then I’m like, ‘Well… there’s no chance that that woman’s ever going to be with a guy like me,’” he continued. “So what can I do to make sure that I’m that guy for that person.”
Jowsey was last linked to his “Perfect Match” co-star Jessica Vestal. However, their relationship ended after she found out he had kissed their co-star Melinda Melrose and lied about it.
Although they later reconciled, things ended after fans began questioning his chemistry with pro Rylee Arnold on “Dancing with the Stars.”
Hale, for her part, has kept most of her dating life under wraps but previously had flings with Skeet Ulrich, Matt Rife, Ryan Rottman and more.
