Harry JowseyandRylee Arnold’s chemistry in theDancing with the Starsballroom has fans wondering if their connection extends beyond the dance floor.
TheToo Hot to Handlestar, 26, and pro dancer, 18 — who, onDWTS’sDisney100Night, performed a quickstep asToy Story’s Woody and Bo Peep, respectively — spoke exclusively with PEOPLE after the show about why they believe judgeJulianne Houghcalled them “lovebirds” during the episode.
“I think it’s because Bo Peep and Woody were lovebirds, no?” Jowsey asked PEOPLE, adding, “Maybe. I think that’s where she’s going.”

“We’re going to go with that,” Arnold stated.
When PEOPLE asked if they had any news to share or their reaction to the comment, Jowsey said, “I was too busy trying not to cry.”
“I think we were just too excited,” Arnold said, noting that “instantly” when the two met, they “just clicked and knew how to have so much fun together.”
“So, we’re just really enjoying each other’s company and we hope to keep staying each week because we’re just having so much fun,” she continued.
On whether Jowsey has plans to pivot his career to dancing, he told PEOPLE, “IfUshercalls me up and says he needs me to dance in his Las Vegas residency, I’ll be there.”
Last week,Jowsey addressed rumors about dating ArnoldafterDWTS’s Motown Night, calling the speculation a “little bit unfair” to Arnold “so early on” in her first season.

“She’s so green to this whole world and everyone having an opinion, and stuff like that," Jowsey told POEPLE.
Season 32 may mark Arnold’s first as aDWTSpro, but competing for theMirrorball Trophyruns in her family; she’s the younger sister ofDWTSalumLindsay Arnold, who won season 25 with actorJordan Fisher.
Jowsey said he and Arnold wanted to focus on the competition, rather than their relationship, at this point. “It is week 3, we’re trying our best to focus on the dance, and whatever happens, happens," he continued. “We’re just enjoying being together.”

“I just think because this week has been so difficult, and the foxtrot isn’t easy,” Jowsey told PEOPLE. “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.”
