Dancing with the stars pro dancer Rylee Arnold has gone Instagram official with her University of Southern California football player boyfriend Walker Lyons.

The DWTS cast member, 19, took to Instagram on Oct. 27 to share a few photos from the tight end’s football game. The first photo showed the couple on the field as Arnold looked up at her boyfriend, who was wearing a red and yellow uniform with the number “85” jersey.

In the next photo, Arnold was sitting in the stands during the USC Trojans’ game against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Her post also included photos of herself and Lyons hugging and laughing on the field.

“Is this a hard launch??” she wrote in the caption of the post. A “hard launch” is a term used to describe an explicit announcement of a relationship, usually by showing the partner’s face on social media.

In the comments, Arnold’s fans and friends were excited about her new relationship.

“OHHHH SHOOT SHE DID IT GO RYLEE,” said Stephen Nedoroscik, her dance partner about the current season of DWTS.

Fellow DWTS pro, Alan Bersten, added: “It’s not a soft launch!!! That’s for sure.”

Actor Taylor Lautner agreed, writing, “It’s definitely not a soft launch.”

“I CAN’T get over you two,” Arnold’s sister Lindsay commented with multiple heart-eye emojis.

The dancer later took to her Instagram Story to document their evening date at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. In the first photo, Arnold looked at her boyfriend as he stood in one of the main streets of the park.

“The best night at Disneyland,” she wrote in the caption, tagging Lyon’s Instagram account.

She also shared a photo of them eating churros, followed by another photo of the couple hugging and smiling in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Arnold ended her Instagram Story posts with a photo of herself and her boyfriend walking through Disneyland, with their arms wrapped around each other. “GOOD NIGHT!!!” she wrote in the caption, along with a fiery red heart emoji.

Arnold and Nedoroscik, also known as Team USA’s pommel horse man, are competing in the 33rd season of DWTS. The 25-year-old two-time bronze medalist became a viral meme for his meditation ritual at the 2024 Olympics. He is also the first male gymnast to compete DWTS.

In last week’s episode, which aired on October 22, reality star Phaedra Parks and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy were the final couple to be eliminated. The next episode of DWTS will be broadcast on Tuesday, October 29.
