Stephen Nedoroscik's DWTS partner Rylee Arnold spills beans on the beginning of her relationship with football tight end Walker Lyons

Stephen Nedoroscik's DWTS partner Rylee Arnold revealed how her relationship with Walker Lyons began with the help of the latter's aunt. Arnold recently posted a picture carousel with Lyons during a football game, confirming her relationship with the tight end.

The 19-year-old, mentored by her sister Lindsay, was one of the runners-up of the 2018 Dancing With the Stars Junior with actor Miles Brown. She then paired with social media personality Harry Jowsey for season 32 and stayed in the competition till the previous week of the semi-finals. She returned for season 33 and is currently partnered with the pommel horse Olympic bronze medalist Stephen Nedoroscik.

Nedoroscik and Arnold recently performed on Halloween Nightmares week, earning their first ten in the competition. After a successful week, Arnold graced the Scrubbing in Becca Tilley and Tanya Rad podcast to offer a peek into her love life with football tight end Walker Lyons, who she started dating some weeks ago.

In the podcast, Arnold shared how Lyons' aunt approached her first, calling her cute and showing the Instagram handle of his nephew.

"No, literally. So basically, his aunt was my Uber driver a couple weeks ago, months ago, and she was just like driving. She's like, 'I think you're such a cute girl. I don't want to sound weird or anything. She's like, I have a nephew that's playing football over at USC. Just look at his Instagram and just give him a follow or something'," she shared. (11:39)

She also noted how her relationship with Lyons was similar to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's.

"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...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." (12:00)

Arnold recently attended the movie musical Wicked's premiere night with her boyfriend, accompanied by her DWTS pair Stephen Nedoroscik and his girlfriend, Tess McCracken.
