Dancing With The Stars pro Rylee Arnold just went public with her new boyfriend. After being treated so horribly by Harry Jowsey last year, DWTS fans wanted to see Rylee end up with someone kind and sincere.
The relationship still seems to be in its early days, so it may be a little too soon to say if the professional dancer has found her happily ever after. But in the meantime, her fans are delighted she’s having a great time.
So who is the mystery boyfriend?
Rylee Arnold Shows Off Her New Boyfriend On Instagram
As TV Shows Ace previously shared, Rylee Arnold teased she was seeing someone new. The 19-year-old had posted on TikTok they went on a few dates and things were going well. She added that he also had an incredibly busy schedule, but they managed to have the same days off so they could see one another.
Shortly after, Redditors uncovered evidence her mystery man might be none other than college football player Walker Lyons. He posted the back of a young blonde woman who many suspected was Rylee.
But were they correct?
As it turns out, the web sleuths won this time. Rylee Arnold shared photos of herself and Walker Lyons on her Instagram page.
“Is this a hard launch?? 🤭❤️🔥” she joked in the caption. She attached several photos of herself attending Walker’s game, beaming ear to ear. He replied, simply leaving two heart emojis in the comments.
Her fans went wild for the hard launch in the comments, but so did several of her DWTS colleagues.
“OHHHH SHOOT SHE DID IT GO RYLEE,” her Season 33 partner Stephen Nedoroscik wrote.
“It’s not a soft launch!!! That’s for sure,” Alan Bersten added.
Rylee’s Instagram followers added encouraging words, including:
- “YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS”
- “Bring him to the show!!!”
- “Okay. So he can play football, BUT can he dance?? lol 💞”
Who Is Walker Lyons?
Walker Lyons is a tight end at USC. Like the Arnold family, he belongs to the LDS church. According to the Orange County Register, he completed his mission in Norway.
“Stepping away from football and school and that were, kinda things that I wanted for a little bit,” Lyons told the publication about his mission. “and kind of just looked outward in a way. Looked to help other people.”
