Rylee Arnold’s recent social media post could be confirmation that the dancer is returning as a pro for Dancing with the Stars Season 35 later this year. Arnold is apparently going to be long distance with her boyfriend for several months.
Is Rylee Arnold Returning to Dancing with the Stars?
Earlier this week, Rylee Arnold posted a video on Instagram with her boyfriend, Brigham Young University football player Walker Lyons. As Arnold wrote on the video, “Date night to celebrate starting long distance again.”
Fans in the comments wondered if this was confirmation that Rylee will be back on DWTS this season, since BYU is in Utah, and the show films in California. Pro dancer Ezra Sosa recently hinted that pros have started getting calls inviting them to compete, so it’s possible Arnold is preparing to return.
“I’m so very grateful for him and for what these next few months look like for us both,” the 21-year-old dancer wrote in the caption of her video, which is set to “A Couple Minutes” by Olivia Dean.
Rylee Arnold is the younger sister of former DWTS pro Lindsay Arnold. She joined the show as a pro in Season 32. Last season, she competed with Pentatonix member Scott Hoying, reaching 10th place.
