The Sun revealed last year how Jowita and fellow Strictly dancer Vito Coppola had reportedly grown closer.
A source said at the time: 'There have been several flings going on under the radar this year but people are talking behind the scenes.
'The chemistry on set is palpable.
"But Vito is very respectful of Jowita and has been trying to woo her all series."
Taking to Reddit, fans have now shared a new "clue" that the pair are dating.
They showed a screenshot from Jowita's Instagram story, where she'd posted an Italy fact.
It read: "Study shows that eating Tiramisu in Italy scientifically makes you happier."
For much of Strictly 2024, Jowita and celeb partner Pete Wicks were rumoured to be dating.
The Polish dancer was also linked to contestant and EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick,
According to a report, the two had a fling while filming the series towards the end of last year.
The pair initially met in 2023 when Jamie won the Strictly Christmas special, with them then hitting it off last autumn.

A source told MailOnline at the time: "Jowita and Jamie grew really close while filming Strictly.
"Things did get romantic between them, Jowita loves Jamie's playfulness and sense of humour, not to mention he's a very talented dancer."
The source then touched on how rumours about Jowita and Pete Wicks allowed her connection with Jamie to "go under the radar".
Meanwhile, Jowita previously dated former Strictly pro Giovanni Pernice.
And last month, it appeared the show favourite took a savage swipe at her ex.
The Sun revealed in 2022 how the show pros enjoyed a secret tryst after Jowita won that year's series with Hamza Yassin.
While the pair split just three months later, it appears the Polish dancer is still holding a grudge.
In a TikTok video, Jowita danced to Gladdest – Done With Your Ex (Shake It To The Max Remix) by Moliy and Silent Addy, in what fans believed was a not-so-subtle dig at Giovanni.
She wrote in her caption: "Dance it. I had to, it's a viiibe! #vibes #ex #womenpower."

British and Irish Lions star who dated Charlotte Church is now pub landlord with huge net worth
Representing the British and Irish Lions is the pinnacle of rugby in the northern hemisphere, but one former tourist who was engaged to Charlotte Church now runs a successful pub Once referred to as 'the David Beckham of rugby ', Gavin Henson seemed to be primed for a spot among the sport's true greats. There was even a point when the darling of Wales featured in headlines on a regular basis, and not always for his feats on the pitch. As the British and Irish Lions look to seal a series win over Australia on Saturday, fans will be reminded of Henson's part he played on the 2005 tour of New Zealand. The fly-half-cum-centre, who later competed on Strictly Come Dancing during a rugby sabbatical, travelled to the other side of the world to face the All Blacks, who were at the time a nigh-unstoppable force on the field. In addition to being a glitzy character in his athletic career, Henson also had the celebrity love life to go with it following his relationship with Charlotte Church. The star duo were even engaged to be wed at one point but ultimately called off their nuptials. Henson retired from professional rugby in 2019 but made a brief comeback for local club Pencoed last year. However, the Welshman has by no means been idle in retirement after becoming the landlord of a successful pub close to home. Here, Mirror Sport looks at his time with the Lions and his life away from rugby. Gavin Henson's Lions experience Henson's lifespan with the Lions was relatively short and not-so-sweet. At a time when New Zealand were an almost undeniable force in rugby union, a tour to to their neck of the woods represented the kind of test that would intimidate even the most seasoned of veterans. Henson was barely 23 when he was called up by coach Clive Woodward, making five appearances for the Lions that summer. That included one cap at centre in the second Test, which ended in a grisly 48-18 defeat to the hosts, who swept the series 3-0. Although he might sooner forget, Henson was partly at fault for New Zealand's opening try that day in Wellington. It was his missed tackle on Dan Carter that saw the All Blacks race 70 metres up the pitch, with captain Tana Umaga going over to put his side in front. A stinger injury ruled Henson, who scored two tries against Southland in a previous warm-up fixture, out of the third Test. However, the damage was done by that point as a second straight Test defeat put any chance at victory out of the Lions' reach. More recently, Henson correctly predicted head coach Andy Farrell would call his son, Owen, up to the squad. And he also made an intriguing outside-the-box call for England's Fin Smith to start the Tests ahead of Scotland counterpart Finn Russell, though that hasn't materialised yet. "The No. 10 spot is a big decision for Farrell to make… probably the biggest," Henson told The Rugby Paper in June. "Personally, I would start with Smith. He brings other players around him into the game, whereby with Finn Russell it is more of an individual thing. You need to bring the whole game around him – and I'm not sure we have the time with the limited warm-up games to do that." What is Gavin Henson's net worth? It's difficult to ascertain an exact figure when it comes to Henson's current net worth, but Yahoo! estimated earlier this year that he's valued at roughly £800,000. That's based largely around his career as a rugby player, with little known about his current earnings as landlord of The Fox pub in the Vale of Glamorgan. Henson first emerged as a prospect with Swansea and then Ospreys, who were at one point a force to be reckoned with in Europe. That culminated in the player being awarded a four-year deal with the club in 2005, which The Guardian reported to be worth £750,000 (almost £190,000 per year before tax). In the early days of rugby's professional era, this was considered a massive sum, particularly for one only starting out their career. After that contract ended, Henson had stints with Saracens, Toulon, Cardiff, Bath, Bristol, the Dragons and others but failed to fully regain the form he enjoyed in the early days of his rise. After retiring at Newport in 2019, the versatile back made a swift move into pub management when he took over as landlord of The Fox (The Fox and Hounds). Fast-forward to today, and Henson has made a serious success of his investment, promoting his brand at speaking events. Speaking to The Times, he said: "I was coming to the end of my career, and it [the pub] had been sat here for 18 months, two years. It was not nice for the village, and I needed something to do after rugby and to be busy, not to mourn rugby and get depressed, as they say everyone does. "But be careful what you wish for because this is so full-on. We want to feel like we've achieved something with the pub. We're perfectionists. We're all about the detail." Charlotte Church relationship Henson and Church went public with their relationship in 2005 when the former was enjoying the peak of his rugby career. Church gave birth to their first child, daughter Ruby, in September 2007. The pair welcomed a son, Dexter, in January 2009 and looked set to wed after announcing their engagement the same year. However, the date was called off in mid-2010 when Henson and Church decided to go their separate ways. The five-year relationship was a frequent feature in newspaper and gossip magazines. That publicity likely played a heavy role in the eventual break-up, with both Henson and singer Church widely scrutinised after bursting into stardom as youngsters. The pair have never aired details behind their split, though Church said it was a joint-decision, telling Heat Magazine: "When he proposed, I was overjoyed. It was amazing. I really was going to marry Gav and spend the rest of my life with him. "But then he came back from Norway [where he filmed reality show 71 Degrees North], and he'd changed, and I'd had time to think. We had both had a change of heart, so we were both of the same mind." It's understood the two maintain a healthy relationship today as they co-parent their teenage offspring. Henson has since found love again after tying the knot with Katie Wilson Mould in 2019, while Church married musician Jonathan Powell two years prior.

Spacey told actor ‘don't worry about it' after alleged assault, documents claim
Kevin Spacey allegedly sexually assaulted a young actor at a party at The Savoy hotel and then told him 'Don't worry about it', court documents for the High Court legal claim suggest. Ruari Cannon is suing Mr Spacey as well as two organisations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London, claiming he suffered psychiatric damage as a result of sexual and emotional abuse. The 33-year-old has waived his anonymity in the claim. In court documents seen by the PA news agency, Mr Cannon alleges that Mr Spacey, who was a 'powerful figure and a world-famous actor and celebrity' at the time, assaulted him in about June 2013, when he was 'a very vulnerable young man'. Oscar-winning actor Mr Spacey has previously denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour and wrongdoing, and details of his defence are not yet available. According to the documents, filed in June, Mr Spacey was working as artistic director at the Old Vic Theatre at the time of the alleged assaults on a production of a play by Tennessee Williams known as Sweet Bird Of Youth, and Mr Cannon was a member of the cast in this production. They claim that Mr Spacey 'took a particular interest' in Mr Cannon for 'reasons of sexual interest' and sent him a 'lavish' gift of a framed poster of the 1985 production of the play directed by Harold Pinter. After the press preview of the show on June 12 2013, Mr Cannon attended a party at The Savoy in London organised by The Old Vic Theatre Company (The Cut) and The Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000. It is claimed that one of the alleged assaults took place at the event. Setting out the allegations, Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel KC, for Mr Cannon, said: 'Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant towards him, turned him around through 45 degrees and placed his left hand on the claimant's buttocks and lifted up the recess material of his suit.' It is alleged that Mr Spacey then pushed Mr Cannon's underwear 'as far up' into his bottom as possible, 'so as to cause pain and distress'. Ms Gumbel added: 'Mr Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant closer to him and whispered into the claimant's ear 'Don't worry about it'. 'Mr Spacey made more uncalled for and unwelcome advances to the claimant during the evening.' The following day, Mr Cannon reported the alleged assaults to his stage manager at the Old Vic Theatre, but no action was taken. According to the documents, it is accepted that Mr Cannon did not ask for any action to be taken, and was scared about how any further action might affect his career. Later that year, during the run of the show, Mr Cannon saw Mr Spacey at the Old Vic bar. Mr Spacey allegedly said to him, 'I hear you have a dirty secret', and then said: 'Open up.' Ms Gumbel said: 'Kevin Spacey then forced open the claimant's mouth with his fingers and thumbs and commented 'quite a bad boy' before the claimant could pull away. 'The claimant then left the bar. The forcing open of the claimant's mouth was another assault for which Kevin Spacey was responsible and for which the second and/or third defendants were vicariously liable. 'Further in 2017 when the Old Vic set up a confidential complaints email on October 31 2017 the claimant reported the above complaint again to the Old Vic.' She added that the alleged assaults were carried out by Mr Spacey in the course of his work for the organisations connected to the Old Vic, and they are 'vicariously liable' for the alleged assaults carried out in the context of a theatre production.
