As we've gotten deeper into Dancing With the Stars Season 33 (with tonight's week seven centered around "Halloween Nightmares"), we've gotten a chance to get to know the pros and their partners, and we simply can't get enough of them. But one duo we're especially thrilled to see any news about? Pro dancer Rylee Arnold and Olympic bronze medalist gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, the latter of whom stole all of our hearts during the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. But it's the former who had some big news drop this past weekend when she officially went public with her new beau.
The 19-year-old had social media buzzing when she posted a series of pictures from Friday night's University of Southern California vs. Rutgers football game, and although there were some photos of her in the stands as well as on the field after the game with sister Brynley, it was the shots with a certain football player that had DWTS fans in a tizzy. Captioned: "Is this a hard launch?? 🤭❤️🔥", which is a term that refers to going public with a new significant other, the photos of Rylee arm-in-arm, hugging USC tight end Walker Lyons had fans absolutely blowing up her comment section.
"RYLEE WE LOVE TO SEE IT YESSSS YES!!!🔥," someone commented. " 😍😍😍😍😍 I CANNOT GET OVER YOU TWO," another said. "AHHHHH!!! Screaming!!!!!" a different person chimed in. Even her DWTS partner Stephen Nedoroscik wrote, "OHHHH SHOOT SHE DID IT GO RYLEE."
After last season, where fans thought there was a possible romance blossoming between Rylee and her partner Harry Jowsey, they are thrilled to see her happy in her new relationship and learn more about her new boyfriend who, according to the USC Trojans website, is a freshman from California. Although there isn't too much known about how the two met, Rylee had done a "date debrief" on TikTok in early October (without revealing who she went out with).
"He was so easy to talk to," she said in the TikTok. "We have so many similarities which was so fun to talk about. He is so sweet and humble and just all the amazing qualities. So I'm really curious to see how this all pans out."
And we have to say — so are we!
