John Owen Lowe has addressed dating rumors involving Lucy Hale, which surfaced after they were seen dining together in Los Angeles. During an episode of 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,' Lowe remarked that being photographed with someone can lead to exaggerated speculation, saying, 'I think you can go to Erewhon with someone and get photographed and things blow out of proportion.' The rumors began gaining traction after Hale publicly supported Lowe's six-year sobriety anniversary post on Instagram. Hale has been candid about her sobriety journey, having celebrated her own milestones and discussed her struggles with alcohol in various interviews. Both celebrities share a commitment to sobriety, with Hale noting her first experience with alcohol led to blackouts and feelings of shame. While the two have sparked intrigue as potential romantic partners, Lowe's comments suggest they may simply be friends.
