After Season 2 wrapped, Harry visited Margot in her native Wisconsin for a two-week vacation. The sophomore Bravolebrity described their friendship during the March 17 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
“I have been in contact with Margot,” Harry revealed. “So I actually went and saw her in Wisconsin after Season 2. I spent two weeks in Wisconsin, the family state, apparently. And, yeah, we’re great friends.”
Despite having a great time on the holiday together in September 2023, Harry and Margot remained friends. He does not see potential for a romantic connection in the future either.
“No, I would never see a relationship with Margot now, we’re too good of friends,” he said on the WWHL After Show. “She’s lovely.”
