Bachelor Nation’s Rachael Kirkconnell Addresses Rumor She Made Out With Harry Jowsey
Bachelor Nation alum Rachael Kirkconnell shut down one social media user’s claim that she was romantically linked to Too Hot to Handle star Harry Jowsey.
Rachael Kirkconnell is walking one social media user out of the villa.
Nearly three months after detailing her breakup with fellow Bachelor alum Matt James, the newly single reality TV star is shutting down what she called “lies” being spread online.
In an April 15 Instagram roundup of Bachelor Nation contestants attending the 2025 Coachella music festival, one user claimed that Rachael and Too Hot to Handle’s Harry Jowsey were romantically involved.
“Rachel [sic] and Harry Jowsey are dating,” the user wrote in a since-deleted comment. “I saw them making out at the nightclub I work at in Miami.”
However, the 28-year-old—who was included in the post alongside Peter Weber, Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson—took a moment to call out the rumor and reveal the truth about their status.
“This is such a lie,” Rachael wrote. “I have never kissed that man. It’s crazy that yall can just come on the internet and spread lies like this.”
And while she was quick to quell the romantic rumor with Harry—who was most recently linked to Pretty Little Liars alum Lucy Hale—it’s not Rachael’s only recent moment of setting the record straight. In fact, she detailed the end of her and Matt’s relationship earlier this year to Alex Cooper.
“He said that at the end of the day, there were just qualities about me that he worries about having in a wife,” she explained during a January episode of Call Her Daddy, nearly two weeks after Matt, 33, confirmed the breakup. “At the end of the day, [he said] there are things that we aren’t compatible with.”
Rachael—who explained that she learned of Matt’s breakup announcement on Instagram as she was boarding a plane, a few hours after he ended their four-year relationship—also noted his mindset when it came to a potential proposal.

But I’m not still. I still don’t feel like we’re ready, or I don’t feel like I’m ready. I don’t know if I ever see myself proposing to you. I can’t actually see myself married to you.’”
