Amid Stephen Nedoroscik Rumors, Fans of DWTS Partner Rylee Arnold Confirm Alleged Boyfriend: 'Holding Hands'

Stephen Nedoroscik And Rylee Arnold have been partners on Dancing with the Stars for six long weeks. And at the same time, the two had to face the flood of speculation while trying to keep the routines under control. The speculation that first spread online were rumors that Stephen and Rylee were more than just dance partners. The claim, of course, was based not on facts but on the inexplicable chemistry of the world on screen. However, Stephen Nedoroscik couldn't let the rumors fester for long!

Stephen Nedoroscik was quick to remind the world of his longtime girlfriend, Tess McCracken. But he didn't go there; He went on to explain how he shares a platonic relationship with Rylee, and Even better: the trio actually gets along pretty well. Even though the dance duo rumors may be over, the topic of Rylee Arnold's dating life still piques the curiosity of the fan base, even after the dancer expressed it exclusively to PEOPLE Magazine “I’ve been single for a while, but I love it.” And a new spiral has just begun in the Rylee-Verse of Possibilities!

Not long ago, Rylee shared an Instagram story in which she talked about a trip with her sister to a USC football game. This was a red flag for the fandom. This time around, after some research, the fan base has come to the conclusion that something is brewing with USC's favorite tight end in Rylee Arnold. Walker Lyons. Speculation intensified as more subtle clues emerged, including appearances on each other's social media accounts.

One fan had something to say after closely analyzing Rylee and Lyons' social media accounts. “He is 1000%. I don't know why they still try to hide it 😭. He accidentally posted them in about three of his recent TikToks. He is always active on their posts and his friend accidentally posted a story of them walking in front of him and holding hands. I LOVE ITTT,” they wrote. While the fan pointed out a TikTok showing Rylee, the video has since been removed from Lyon's account. But another, equally intriguing TikTok from Rylee might hold the answers.

A few days ago, Rylee Arnold took to TikTok and posted a video talking about her last date. At the same time she says: “We went to get food, drove around and then came back to my apartment and talked for a while.” Sounds like the perfect date, doesn't it? Rylee continues to call the mystery man “sweet and humble.” The speculation only grew stronger when Rylee mentioned: “Last night was so much fun, and I don't know, it was just crazy that we hung out a little bit back-to-back, but I don't mind.”

That’s right, two date nights in a row! Sure, it sounds like it's getting serious. Hoping that the speculation is true, another fan further wrote: “What a sweet couple if that's true.“The speculation surrounding Walker is not without reason. Walker Lyons isn't just one of USC's top athletes; He also shares the same beliefs as Rylee. Rylee grew up in a devout Mormon household, the same faith Lyons follows. Netizens believe that this could also be another factor contributing to Rylee's decisions. But it gets better!

Reddit exploded when fans identified a blonde woman in one of Walker's TikTok videos. So what was the confirmation factor? Well, Lyons had managed to hide Rylee's face, but not her bracelet and her nails. Lyons later removed the video, which only added to the doubts.

If the fandom wasn't convincing enough, there's more!

As the rumor mill continues to churn out new theories, one fan further noted that Rylee is under scrutiny. “I'm a fan of Rylee, but some fans definitely are. I understand why she’s a little cautious about what she reveals.” wrote the netizen. The point, again, is not without reason. Furthermore, it would explain why Walker removed Lyon's TikTok. And why wouldn't she want to keep it private? After all, the rumors about Stephen Nedoroscik were brutal.

Over the course of this season of Dancing With The Stars, Rylee Arnold has been in the headlines more than usual. And it's all thanks to Stephen Nedoroscik. After all, he's an Olympian who went viral and then hit the dance floor. So it's no wonder the fan base notices the duo's unusual rehearsal schedule and their tendency to spend downtime together. The TikToks and shutdown rumors could provide a solid foundation for the alleged relationship between Lyons and Arnold. But there is another factor adding to the speculation.

A lynx-eyed fan further wrote: “Brynley's husband is a long-time USC fan, so I'm not sure that's evidence. I’m not saying this, but Donny and Brynley go to a few games every year.” Another reference to fandom, because that too is a well-documented fact! Brynley Arnold, Rylee's sister, and brother-in-law Donny McGinnis have been spotted at various USC games over the years.

In fact, a post from Donny's Instagram a few years ago shows that there is some deep-rooted loyalty at play here. The post was captioned: “Win or lose, always a USC Trojan. Keep fighting.” It's obvious that Donny has a special love for the USC Trojans. While these appearances fuel fan theories, they don't necessarily mean that Rylee's participation in the game has anything to do with Walker Lyons. Nevertheless, the fans are excited!

So much so that one fan further wrote: “OH MY GOD RYLEE IS IN LOVE AND IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!“The fandom has seen Rylee on screen since she was a little girl. She moved from “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” to two seasons of the senior show. It's no wonder fans are invested in her life. But regardless of the state of relations between Rylee Arnolds and Walker Lyons, the fandom is full of love for Rylee.
