Francesca Farago, the former girlfriend of ‘Too Hot to Handle’ star Harry Jowsey, is speaking out against the persistent rumors surrounding her alleged romantic involvement with fellow reality star Rylee Arnold.
The 29-year-old Canadian influencer, who rose to fame alongside Jowsey on the hit Netflix series, took to social media to address the swirling speculation, making it clear that she finds the gossip to be “disrespectful” to her.
“There have been a lot of rumors circulating about me and Rylee Arnold,” Farago began in a lengthy Instagram Story post. “I just want to set the record straight because I find it to be very disrespectful to me.”
Farago and Jowsey’s tumultuous relationship and subsequent public breakup have been a major talking point among fans of ‘Too Hot to Handle’. The two had an intense on-again, off-again romance that ultimately ended in 2020.
In the wake of their split, Farago has been the subject of numerous unconfirmed reports about her love life, the latest of which involve rumors of a budding relationship with Rylee Arnold, a contestant from the current season of ‘The Bachelorette’.
“Rylee and I are not dating, we are not talking, we are not anything,” Farago clarified. “We are acquaintances, we are friendly, but that is it.”
The influencer went on to express her frustration with the persistent speculation, emphasizing that she values her privacy and finds the constant chatter about her personal life to be disrespectful.
“I just find it really disrespectful that people are constantly trying to put me in relationships that I’m not in,” Farago stated. “I’m a very private person when it comes to my personal life and my relationships.”
Farago stressed that she is focused on her own personal growth and happiness, and has no desire to be entangled in any new romantic entanglements at the moment.
“I’m very happy being single, I’m very happy focusing on myself, I’m very happy focusing on my business and my life,” she said. “I don’t need to be in a relationship to feel validated or to feel happy.”
The influencer’s candid address seems to have resonated with her followers, many of whom flocked to the comments section to express their support and understanding.
“Thank you for being so transparent, Francesca,” wrote one fan. “You deserve to have your privacy respected.”
Another commenter praised Farago’s willingness to shut down the rumors, saying, “Good for you for setting the record straight. You shouldn’t have to deal with all these baseless rumors.”
Farago’s clear and unapologetic stance on the matter has only further solidified her reputation as a strong-willed and self-assured individual, unwilling to let the constant speculation about her personal life define her.
