There were so many memorable moments on Netflix's Too Hot to Handle, but one of the most unforgettable couples had to be Francesca Farago and Harry Jowsey.

The lovebirds left the series in a romantic relationship, but how long did it last? Here's everything you need to know about Farago and Jowsey's romance.

They broke up post-engagement.

More than a month after getting engaged in mid-May over Too Hot to Handle's virtual reunion, Farago revealed via YouTube vlog that she and Jowsey had parted ways. The reality star explained that she was hesitant to announce the news because she thought she and Jowsey were still on a break, but it turns out they had "different mindsets towards this situation," according to People.

"There are a lot of things I personally believe, for my mental health, that I cannot tolerate anymore," she said. "I cannot fake a relationship. I cannot pretend that everything is going to be okay." Farago confirmed that the love she had for Jowsey was "very, very, very, very real."

Jowsey also confirmed the split on Twitter and announced he would address the breakup on Instagram Live.

Harry proposed over video chat.

Jowsey popped the question to Farago during the virtual reunion episode of Too Hot to Handle, which aired on May 8. And, yes, that means he proposed via Zoom call … but with a Ring Pop.

"I just want to say you've absolutely changed my life," he said, kneeling. "I love you so much and I can't wait to spend forever with you … . Do you wanna do this thing? Do you want to get married?"

At the end of the episode, we learned Farago's response. "Harry knows I want to marry him, so, yes, of course."

"I couldn't imagine being with anyone else," Jowsey responded. It's unclear if they'll reprise that proposal with a real one, in person, once they're reunited.

Farago later told Variety that the proposal wasn't official and had to be done in person.

This wasn't their first time talking about marriage. Previously speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Jowsey explained, "I flew her down, fell in love again and now we want to get married. Right now, we just cherish each other that much more."

Jowsey also revealed, "We dated a few people in between, both of us, and I even said to the last girl I dated, I was like, 'Hey, look, I'm still madly in love with my ex, and I'm so sorry but we can't do this.' And here we are, better than ever!"

They split up after the show ended.

It seems that after THTH concluded, they tried to make it work, with Farago visiting Jowsey's hometown of Queensland in Australia, and Jowsey traveling to Vancouver, Canada, to see her, per Capital FM.

During an interview on Australian radio station KIIS' Will & Woody show, Jowsey revealed, "We had a bit of a break in between because I'm immature. We had a break for a few months but now we're back on."

As for how he won Farago back, Jowsey revealed, "I decided to text her. I was absolutely off my face and I was like, 'Hey, I want to FaceTime your dog and I don't want you to be there.' So I FaceTimed her dog, but she was there."

They went Instagram-official.

After the show hit Netflix, Farago posted a loved-up pic taken with Jowsey and wrote, "always been you.. @harryjowsey♥️."

Jowsey returned the favor, posting a romantic video compilation on Instagram. He captioned the post, 'Thank you ❤️ @francescafarago."

They were going long-distance for a while.

Jowsey is based in Los Angeles, where he runs a clothing brand called Naughty Possums. Meanwhile, Farago was splitting her time between Vancouver and Los Angeles, per her Instagram profile, and launched an ethical and sustainable clothing line. During the reunion, Jowsey revealed that Farago would soon move to the West Coast.

And according to the Daily Mail, Jowsey and Farago now have matching tattoos.
