Harwick was a therapist and author of the book The New Sex Bible for Women, and She and Carey were engaged before splitting up in 2018.
A little more than a year later, Carey said Harwick contacted him and wanted to get together.
“I texted her that I loved her and that I’d see her the next week,” the TV comic said. “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.
“The next day she was murdered… it destroyed me for a while. I still don’t date.”
Harwick, then 38, was killed on Feb. 15, 2020, when her former boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, threw her off the balcony of her home in California’s Hollywood Hills.
He is currently serving life in prison without parole for the murder.

“He still enjoys warm friendships with several women, but as far as putting his heart back out there, he just can’t seem to do it.”
