Stephen Nedoroscik's dance partner Rylee Arnold recently shared the unexpected way she met her boyfriend Walker Lyons, a USC football player. During an appearance on the Squeeze podcast, the 19-year-old revealed how an Uber ride in LA led to a life-changing connection.

While preparing for her second season of Dancing with the Stars, Arnold was overwhelmed by LA traffic and decided to take an Uber. During the ride, she struck up a conversation with the driver, who casually mentioned his nephew played football at USC. The driver suggested that Arnold and his nephew might get along well and encouraged her to look him up on Instagram.

Rylee Arnold, busy with her schedule, forgot about the encounter until a few weeks later when her sister sent a TikTok video of Walker Lyons to their family group chat and suggested she reach out. The timing, she said, felt serendipitous.

"We have a crazy amount of mutuals so the fact we hadn't met before is kind of crazy, but I think we met at the most perfect time in both of our lives," she said via people.com.

In October 2024, she publicly confirmed her relationship with Lyons, sharing photos from one of his football games in an Instagram post.
