Harry Jowsey is mourning a devastating loss.
The Perfect Match alum shared the news of his father’s death in a post on social media Dec. 4, posting a collection of throwback pics of his dad and family.
“I love you Dad, I miss you,” Harry wrote on Instagram. “I’ll catch you on the other side.”
The first snap in the photo carousel featured a young Harry alongside his brother and four sisters, with his father smiling at the center. The next picture featured Harry and his brother hugging their dad by a water fountain, followed by a shot taken from behind of Harry and his dad sitting together on a log. He ended the carousel on a black and white close-up shot of what appeared to be him clutching his father’s hand.
In addition to the heartfelt post, the 27-year-old shared a touching message of appreciation to his supporters on his Instagram Story.
“Thanks for all the lovely messages,” he wrote along with a heart emoji. “Love you all, hug your parents.”
The Australian native did not reveal further details of his father’s passing, including the cause of death.
One day before sharing the tragic news, Harry alluded to his loss with a cryptic Instagram Story post featuring a broken heart emoji and a dove emoji, set against a simple black background.
In 2021, the Too Hot to Handle star opened up about his turbulent relationship with his father.
“I love my dad and I know he’s trying to be better,” he said on the Almost Adulting Podcast at the time, “but I just grew up with him being [a] crazy, crazy alcoholic.”
Despite their ups and downs, Harry noted his dad’s “many really, really good characteristics,” adding that he still had a soft spot for his father.
“Regardless of anything,” he said, “that’s my old man, and I still love him.”
