"Walker is the best. I am so happy," she said.

In the post Arnold shared on Instagram, which featured a carousel of photos of her and Lyons, a University of Southern California football player, the duo are seen on the field at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at what appears to be a football game.

She captioned the post, "Is this a hard launch?? 🤭❤️🔥."
Several of Arnold's "DWTS" co-stars commented on the post, including Ezra Sosa who wrote, "you deserve the best, and he treats [you] like the queen you are. so happy for you."
"So happy about this hard launch!!!!!" Jenna Johnson added.
When Nedoroscik was asked if a double date is in the future for him, his girlfriend, Arnold and Lyons, the Olympic medalist responded, "Definitely."
"I haven't met him yet, but Rylee talks so highly of him, and I just know that he must be a very good person," Nedoroscik said.
Nedoroscik and Arnold performed a contemporary dance to "I Ran (So Far Away)" by Hidden Citizens on Tuesday night. The Olympian added that getting their first 10 that night "meant everything."

On Wednesday, following their performance, the duo each took to Instagram to reflect on the experience. In her post, Arnold thanked Nedoroscik for "being the amazing and cool person that you are!!"
