Rylee Arnold revealed that her boyfriend Walker Lyons plays football as a tight end, noting a similarity with Taylor Swift's dating life since Travis Kelce also plays in the same position. Arnold is currently partnered with pommel horse champion, Stephen Nedoroscik at the Dancing With the Stars (season 33).
Arnold, the American professional Latin and ballroom dancer, debuted in the 2018 Dancing with the Stars: Juniors as actor Miles Brown's professional partner. The pair reached the finals and tied for the runners-up position with Mackenzie Ziegler and Sage Rosen, Ariana Greenblatt, and Artyon Celestine.
In the 33rd season, she was further named as a professional and got Olympic pommel horse bronze medalist, Stephen Nedoroscik as her partner. The dancing pair has been turning heads with their performances, the recent being the Halloween contemporary dance on “I Ran (So Far Away)” by Hidden Citizens.
In other news, Rylee Arnold recently hard launched her relationship with football tight end, Walker Lyons. In her Instagram post from a week ago, she was seen cheering on Lyons during a football match, hugging him with smiles and a blushed face.
"Is this a hard launch??'
In Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley and Tanya Rad's podcast, Arnold talked about her love life and how it gives out the vibe of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
"He's a tight end like Travis Kelce. It's kind of perfect. I love it. It's so nice because we are both so busy. For me, going into this season, I had no intention of having a boyfriend or getting into a relationship... Because I always thought it would add to my play and make my life harder. But having Walker, every time I'm with him, it's just like the thoughts, the stress of the show, and the hardness of the show completely goes away. And I'm just like focused on him and completely unplugged from like the world outside..." she said. (12:00)
The 19-year-old returned to Season 32 of the DWTS, partnered with social media fame, Harry Jowsey, and stayed till the week before the semi-finals.
