Love is in the air, y’all! Rylee Arnold from Dancing with the Stars just went public with her boyfriend. Her new man is a college football star named Walker Lyons, and of course, we’ve got all of the details about what you need to know about their blossoming romance.
A hard-launched relationship
Earlier this month, Rylee revealed on TikTok that she had been seeing a promising new guy. She told her followers that she went on a date and that it went really well. It was just days after she sprained her ankle during DWTS rehearsals, but she somehow made time to meet up with Walker.
“OK friends, get ready with me for rehearsal while I debrief the date I went on a couple nights ago,” Rylee dished in her post. “Fun fact, we actually hung out last night as well.”
Fast forward a few weeks later, and Rylee hard launched their relationship via Instagram. She posted a carousel of photos supporting Walker at a football game. She sweetly added the caption, “Is this a hard launch?.”
Yes, girl. This is definitely a hard launch, and Walker followed suit by resharing Rylee’s post to his Instagram Story. Honestly, it’s just too cute.
Last year, Rylee was romantically linked with her Dancing with the Stars partner at the time, Harry Jowsey. The two spent Thanksgiving together, but they denied being a couple. That was probably for the best considering how much dirty laundry and baggage Harry carries with him.
On the other hand, Walker has a clean slate. He’s a tight end for the University of Southern California. He’s age-appropriate for Rylee. They’re both Mormons. On paper, this seems like a good match, so we’ve got our fingers crossed for these crazy kids.
You can watch Rylee in action on Dancing with the Stars, which airs new episodes on Tuesdays at 8/7c on Disney+ and ABC.
