Perfect Match season 2 cast member Harry Jowsey's on-screen romance with Jessica Vestal has become the talk of the internet. The reality star known for his various appearances on reality shows recently opened up about his and Jessica's relationship during an episode of his podcast, Boyfriend Material.
The DWTS alum was seen leaving love notes for his partner to find during the show. On the podcast, Jowsey elaborated on the same. Before diving into it, Harry revealed he and Jessica speak quite often and that he would speak about their situation seriously and respectfully.
About the notes, Harry said:
"I was actively, as you guys see on the show, trying to prove to Jess that like, 'hey, my feelings are real, my feelings are valid, like I really care about you. I'm not trying to screw you over.'"
The Perfect Match season 2 celebrity explained he was trying to be a "good partner" for the Love is Blind alum and prove that he was the "right man" for her. The couple was seen as one of the strongest connections in season 2 until episode 9, when Melinda Berry claimed that Harry kissed her and told her he wanted to "f*ck" her.
Perfect Match season 2 star Harry Jowsey explains "words of affirmation" are his love language
During the podcast, the Perfect Match season 2 star stated that love notes were "inexpensive gifts" and helped give people compliments and let people know about their feelings.
Harry Jowsey added that he believed the notes were a cute gesture and "super" easy and quick to do. He added he believed the small gesture would go a long way. The reality star said he felt that after he gave Jess the notes, their relationship "started to blossom."
"For me, like words of affirmation is like one of my biggest love languages and I'm sure it is for everyone else and um, I think it is really fundamental."
Harry said he was "pretty sure" Jessica also left him love notes to return the favor since she is the "sweetest human ever" and it made him feel "warm and fuzzy." The Perfect Match season 2 star revealed there were a lot of things that didn't make it to the final cut, including him picking out flowers for his on-screen partner.
"I guess because it's a f*cking TV show and they want to paint you a certain way and everyone is a certain character so a lot of the cute like, lovey-dovey things that I did do for Jess just wasn't in the show and that's fine," Harry said.
The Netflix celebrity stated that those scenes didn't make it to the final cut because they were “special” and “pure” to the couple. The cast member opened up about telling his partner that he was falling in love with her and added that it was "kind of wild."
He asked fans to remember that the show was filmed over four weeks and he was there for three and had known her for "just a handful of weeks." Harry added that his feelings towards her were "real", "rapid", and "so quick" and it felt like "everything."
"It's f*cking Jess, it's really hard to not fall in love with that woman, like she is really easy to fall in love with. Like, she could look you in the eyes and you're like, 'Okay, sweet. She's like Medusa. I'm in love," the Perfect Match season 2 star added.
Jessica and Harry first matched up in episode 3. Despite the cast member's opinions about Harry's past, the two continued their relationship steadily until episode 9. In the latest segment, Melinda told the female cast member that Harry kissed her and later told her he wanted to "put a baby" in her. Although Harry wanted to continue their relationship, Jessica wasn't sure.
The fate of their relationship will be revealed in Perfect Match season 2 episode 10, set to air on Friday, June 21, 2024, on Netflix.
