Harry Jowsey is getting honest about his decision to participate in Let’s Marry Harry with hopes of getting married.
“In hindsight, that close to grieving and that close to losing my dad, I shouldn’t have been like, ‘Oh yeah, time to get married,’” Jowsey, 29, shared on the Tuesday, October 6, episode of iHeartRadio’s “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “But also, who am I to say no to a massive show like that and an opportunity where all these people are pouring love and energy into me and to try to make the best show possible?”
Jowsey — who lost his dad, Paul Jowsey, at 70 to a terminal illness in December 2024 — added, “I probably shouldn’t have done it, and I probably should have just waited a little bit, but it is what it is.”
This summer, viewers had a front-row seat to Harry’s journey of finding his forever partner on the hit Netflix series Let’s Marry Harry.
During the reunion show, which premiered in August, fans learned that Harry and his winner (or wife), Amber Mozo, had already split after exchanging vows in a televised ceremony officiated by Amanda Kloots.
In his latest podcast interview, Harry was asked to respond to many of the women on the show who expressed concern that he wasn’t ready for marriage.
“You never really know if you’re ready until you find the perfect person or get to a point where you’re ready to meet that person,” Harry explained to podcast cohosts Charity Lawson and Rachel Recchia. “On the show. I was telling myself, and I was telling everyone like, ‘Yeah, for sure.’ Also, you have a huge f***ing juggernaut of a machine behind you making this show. So I’m like, ‘If they think I’m ready, surely I’m ready, and I’m good to go.’”
Harry remembers producers asking him if he was prepared to find his forever person.
“Am I going to say, ‘Oh no, no way. What are we doing guys? Cut the cameras?’” he asked. “I thought I was ready. And I’m like, the universe has got me. My dad’s got me. Everything’s good. In those moments, I think I’m always trying to convince myself that I’m ready and convince the audience. I believe in that time that I was ready.”
According to Harry, the show premiered nearly a year after it was filmed.
When watching himself on the show, the Perfect Match alum is proud of how far he’s come.
“To see the version of myself when I was going through that and to know the version of myself where I’m at now with my relationship and love. I’m like, oh my God, I just needed to go through that,” he said. “I needed to make the mistakes. I needed to learn. But then also, I needed to fall and find my person and find everything that I’ve asked the universe for and asked.”
