Dancing with the Stars' Rylee Arnold gushes over budding romance with USC's Walker Lyons

Rylee Arnold's heart is spinning almost as fast as her dance moves, all thanks to her new romance with USC football player Walker Lyons! Just a few days into their relationship, Arnold, the talented Dancing with the Stars pro, is positively glowing, describing her connection with Lyons as nothing short of amazing.

"I'm super happy!" she told TMZ Sports while running errands in Beverly Hills. "We're super young, just having a good ol' time together," she gushed. "He's such an awesome guy, and I'm loving life with him!"

Arnold, 19, and Lyons, a 6'4", 235-pound tight end for the USC Trojans, went public on Instagram last month after Arnold was spotted cheering him on at a USC game. Since then, their relationship has been nothing short of "really fun," according to Arnold, with Lyons frequently posting sweet photos of the two looking completely smitten.

The wonderful puppy love

As a former high school football star with accolades like the All-American Bowl's Man of the Year, Lyons has made waves even in his freshman year at USC. Meanwhile, Arnold, who joined Dancing with the Stars as a pro dancer in 2023, has been making her own mark on the ballroom floor since her debut on DWTS Juniors.

Despite her busy schedule, Arnold is all-in on this new relationship, even admitting that a few mutual friends played matchmaker. And while the two are still in the early days, it's clear that they're building something special.

Between their rising careers and playful Instagram moments, Arnold and Lyons have become the latest young Hollywood couple to watch. As they balance fame, sports, and dancing, fans are eagerly watching to see where this budding romance will lead next!
