Rylee Arnold's boyfriend Walker Lyons reacts to her final DWTS performance alongside Stephen Nedoroscik

Rylee Arnold's boyfriend and USC Trojans' player Walker Lyons recently reacted to her final performance at the dance reality show, 'Dancing with the Stars'. Lyons had attended the grand finale to watch his 19-year-old girlfriend perform one final time with her dance partner and double Olympic medalist gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik.

Lyons uploaded a couple of photographs on his Instagram story, along with the caption:

"@ryleearnold1 was amazing tonight and I couldn't be more proud. You are the best."

Rylee Arnold had made it to her first grand finale at the senior level in the 33rd season of 'Dancing with the Stars,' participating alongside Stephen Nedoroscik. The dancing duo delivered stellar performances in the finale, earning an impressive score of 59 out of 60. Their final performance was particularly noteworthy, receiving a perfect score of 30.

However, many were shocked when the duo finished in fourth place overall, primarily due to audience voting. Joey Graziadei from 'The Bachelor' won the coveted trophy with partner Jenna Johnson, while Olympic medalist Ilona Maher finished as the runner-up alongside partner Alan Bersten.

"I dont know, this is probably the top date night we'll ever have and it's with Stephen and Tess too, so, it's so fun. Yes, it's a double date."

"It's good, I know it's fun. I'm not nervous, we're good."

Arnold further added,

"Literally, this is so fun, so amazing. Literally like the fact that I'm here right now and I got to bring Walker to see this movie, and I am literally so excited."
