Stephen Nedoroscik's Dancing With the Stars partner Rylee Arnold stepped out for a beach vacation with her boyfriend and NFL athlete, Walker Lyons. Arnold recently concluded her Dancing With the Stars stint alongside Olympic bronze medalist, Stephen Nedoroscik, taking fourth place in the finals.

Nedoroscik and Arnold turned heads with their performances on the 33rd season of DWTS, advancing to the finale as one of the fan favorites. The duo danced gymnastics-inspired freestyle to Coldplay's 'Viva la Vida' and quickstep to I'll Be There For You to finish fourth behind Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong.

Nedoroscik is now gearing up to co-host the "Dancing with the Stars: Live! 2025" tour, scheduled to stop at Penn State (his alma mater's location) on January 23, while Arnold shifted her attention to spending quality time with her boyfriend Walker Lyons.

As recently posted by Arnold on her Instagram, the couple enjoyed the sunset on the beach, cozying up and dancing in winter wear.

"So so happy," her caption read.

The couple went public with their relationship in October 2024 when the professional dancer posted photos on her Instagram handle with the caption, "hard launch".

The couple also attended the premiere of 'Wicked' movie in glammed-up looks. As per Arnold's post, she donned a magenta dress and her boyfriend Lyons stepped out in a black suit. Nedoroscik and his girlfriend Tess McCracken also accompanied them on the red carpet.

"Camera roll dump from last night!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!" she captioned.

Arnold was part of the 32nd season of Dancing With the Stars, where she was partnered with social media personality and Too Hot to Handle fame, Harry Jowsey.

Lyons was not in the spotlight, playing football for the USC Trojans, until the DWTS fame hard-launched her relationship with him. In a DWTS interview on November 12, Rylee Arnold praised Lyons for being a sport when dealing with public attention.

"He's being such a trooper because I know it's so hard to go from not being exposed to things like this, but he's just been such a trooper. He's so supportive of me and just so kind to me all the time. And it's so nice and refreshing to be around and I just think he's the best and he’s taking everything like a champ," she said.

Rylee Arnold and Lyons started talking through mutual friends but the football player was first introduced to the former by his aunt, who was the dancer's Uber driver for a day.
