“The Price is Right” host Drew Carey made a vulnerable revelation about his former fiancée who was murdered in 2020.

Carey, 66, shared how his view on love was left “damaged” after the death of his ex, Amie Harwick.

“I think about her every day. It’s such a loss. Her death still affects me and my ideas about relationships and intimacy,” Carey told US Weekly in a new interview.

“It was all damaged by first our breakup, and then, the day before she died, when she texted me. It had been a really bad breakup for both of us, but a necessary one. I couldn’t think about her or see a picture of her. I didn’t want to be reminded.”

Carey said the text she sent him the day before she was killed caught him by surprise.

“She said, ‘Hey, it’s Amie. I’ve been thinking a lot about forgiveness. I would love to get together with you and talk about some things.’ I texted her that I loved her and that I’d see her the next week. I heard from one of her friends that she shed tears about my saying that I loved her still, which I did. I loved her madly even though we were broken up.”

When asked if Carey ever got final closure with Harwick, he replied, “The next day she was murdered, and we never got a chance to get together.”

Since her murder, Carey admitted, it’s been challenging to date other women.

“It destroyed me for a while. I still don’t date. I have women I go out with and spend time with, but it’s all platonic,” he said. “I don’t care about anything else. Amie’s death really affected everything.”

Harwick died Feb. 15, 2020, after she was thrown over her third-floor balcony.

She was found clinging to life beneath the bedroom balcony of her Hollywood Hills apartment. It was hours after Valentine’s Day, and police had received a report of a woman screaming.

Gareth Pursehouse, Harwick’s former boyfriend, was charged with murder and first-degree residential burglary with the special circumstance of lying in wait. He was arrested shortly after Harwick’s death and posted $2 million bond. He was arrested again on a no-bail warrant and was convicted of Harwick’s murder in September 2023.

In March, Carey said he could “finally move on” from the murder.

He explained that since Pursehouse’s conviction, he’s been able to “let out a breath.”
