Harry Jowsey got real about what went down in his DMs with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jessi Draper.
“I first met them at the season 1 Tell Me Lies premiere and I remember Layla [Taylor], Jessi and Jordan [Ngatikaura] came up and were talking to us,” Jowsey, 28, said during the Wednesday, April 1, episode of the “Not Married to This” podcast. “Their show hadn’t even come out yet and they were so friendly.”
Jowsey joked that the interaction was so friendly it felt like it was a little flirty.
“That was my first ever interaction with them, but they were so lovely. Now all this s*** goes on,” he reflected, referring to Draper and Ngatikaura’s recent split. “Jessi, obviously their relationship hit a bit of a bumpy road and Jordan like went on her phone at 4 a.m. or some s*** — I don’t know what it was — went through our DMs and said, ‘Oh you must be cheating on me with Harry.’”
Harry Jowsey Posts DMs With Jessi Draper Amid Affair Allegations
After Ngatikaura accused Draper of having an affair with Jowsey, the Too Hot to Handle alum went back through his messages.
“There’s probably like 10 messages between me and Jessi ever,” he claimed. “We never really talk. It was literally just her replying to a story saying like, ‘Oh so cool.’”
Jowsey also acknowledged that he did send Draper a voice message which she spoke about during her recent appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
“I was like, ‘What are you doing freaky girl?’” he said while making a cat noise, noting that he has “no idea” why he added that sound. “The thing is I scrolled up and there were probably two messages before that and this is one of the first-ever proper conversations where we heard each other’s voices. I didn’t even follow her at that point.”
Jowsey explained that he followed Draper after they met in person at the Tell Me Lies premiere.
“That’s a wild thing for me to do,” he admitted. “The meow and the freaky girl … [was] real weird.”
Harry shared that Draper just laughed off his antics.
Last month, Draper revealed that she and Jowsey would converse via DMs.
“[Harry and I] have the same birthday. So, last May, this is when me and Jordan are separated. I responded to Harry’s [Instagram] Story and was like, ‘Oh my gosh, birthday twins!’ He voice-memos me,” she recalled. “Like, you know how he talks? … He’s like, ‘How’s your birthday going, naughty possum?’ I was like, ‘Great! I’m going on a hike.’”
Draper claimed that Ngatikaura found out about the messages and accused her of cheating.

“I’m in Europe. I get a call at 4 a.m. from Jordan. He’s like, ‘Do you have to tell me something? I was like ‘What do you mean?’” Draper recalled.
Days before the interview, Ngatikaura filed for divorce from Draper. The exes share two children: son Jagger Teina, 5, and daughter Jovi James, 3. Draper is also a stepmother to Peyton, Ngatikaura’s 13-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
Jowsey later released the messages online, claiming that he and Draper’s exchanges were just friendly banter.
