Rylee Arnold is dancing around the identity of her new guy.

The Dancing With the Stars pro—who is paired with Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik on the show’s ongoing 33rd season—offered details about her new mystery man in a TikTok video posted Oct. 4, calling their first date “so fun” while keeping her love interest’s identity under wraps.

“We walked around, we talked and it was so pretty outside,” the 19-year-old said in the video. “It was just such a vibe.”

She continued, “He was so easy to talk to and we have so many similarities, which was so fun to talk about. He is so sweet and humble and all the amazing qualities, so I’m really curious to see how this all pans out.”

On a practical level, the Utah native—whose big sister is DWTS alum Lindsay Arnold—revealed the relationship fits in nicely with her grueling rehearsal commitments as well.

“What’s super nice about him too is that he has a really busy schedule just like me,” she shared. “But luckily, our schedules kind of work out together and we’re both busy and free at the same time of the week. It makes things kind of nice.”

The Dancing With the Stars: Juniors alum added that things went so well with her new flame that they even went on a second date the following night.

“It was a little more spontaneous than the first one,” she giggled, “but we’ve hung out two nights in a row now. We went and got food, drove around and then we came back to my apartment and talked for a little while. It was really, really nice.”

While the budding romance is still in its early stages, there’s no denying the dancer has butterflies, as she gushed, “I’m getting so excited about getting to know him and hanging out with him.”

That is, as long as her candid confessions don’t land on his For You page. “I really hope he’s not seeing these videos,” Rylee admitted. “But also, it wouldn’t matter because he’s gotta get used to it.”

The former Bachelorette and the Jersey Shore star stoked dating rumors during their time competing against one another on season 31, thanks to their flirtations on social media and coy responses when asked about their possible romance.

"You get to know the other celebrities on Dancing with the Stars," Gabby told E! News in December 2022. "So, we formed a friendship right away and I feel like our senses of humor are really similar. I was so tunnel vision during the competition. I was like, 'I'm here to win' and I didn't have room for anything else. So, we live in different states, but we are having fun. We'll see."

Showmance or Real Deal: Forget GTL, this one was DOA. The pair never ended up officially dating and Gabby debuted her romance with comedian and TV writer Robby Hoffman in August 2023. 

Months after placing fifth in the 31st season of the dance show, the couple confirmed their romance on Valentine's Day 2023. "My Valentine," the CODA actor captioned a selfie with the choreographer. "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Britt and Daniel then announced their engagement in December 2023.

Showmance or Real Deal: Real deal.

While she was partnered with Hayes Grier, the two hit it off during season 21's Switch Up week, with Alek calling her "so hot." After her elimination, Emma spilled that she and Alek had yet to go on a date, saying, "We'll see."

Showmance or Real Deal: Given Alek's tendency to blush and avoid answering questions about his feelings for Emma, telling E! News "no comment!" we think this crush was very real. But Emma danced away off the market following Skarlatos' 2015 run, so if it was real, it wasn't that real. 

Which bring us to these two. After dating a little on and off since 2011, the pros got engaged live on the show in October 2016, and were married in March 2018. However, in Aug. 2022, E! News confirmed that after four years of marriage, Slater and Farber were going their separate ways.

Showmance or Real Deal? Despite the outcome, they were still the real deal and have remained close friends and cordial co-stars after their split. 

"It's not a nightmare at all," Emma exclusively told E! News. "We support each other so much that I want the very best for Sasha. We support each other, very, very truly."

 

Val and Jenna were dating in 2015, before she was promoted to pro dancer. They got engaged in June of 2018 before making it official and walking down the aisle in April of 2019. In July 2022, they announced they were expecting their first baby together. The two welcomed son Rome Valentin in January 2023.

"Life is awesome," Val told E! News in May 2023. Becoming a dad "definitely elevated my joy for life, my joy for my family, and every day I learn something new being a father."

Showmance or Real Deal? Real deal, y'all!

In December 2020, E! News learned the Selling Sunset star was dating the Dancing With the Stars pro after they had competed separately on season 29.

However, after two months of dating, E! News exclusively confirmed they had called it quits. At the time, a source close to the realtor said, "They had a fun time together but in the end, decided it would be best if they part ways. They are still friendly and cordial. It wasn't a messy breakup, just wasn't the right fit or right timing." 

Chrishell has since found love with partner G Flip.

Soon after the Shark Tank star announced he was separating from his wife of 14 years Diane Plese, sources confirmed to E! News that he and Kym Johnson, his pro partner from season 20, were dating and "really happy together."

While Robert and Kym at first played coy about the nature of their relationship, that quickly stopped. They were engaged in February 2016, married by June 2016, and welcomed twins in April 2018.
