Rylee Arnold talks about how her new beau handles the spotlight.
The Dancing with the stars Pro, 19, opened up about boyfriend Walker Lyons’ reaction to the attention he received after the pair went public with their relationship in October.
Pleased with the college football player, Arnold said she was proud of how he handled the change.
“He’s such a trooper because I know it’s so hard to stop being exposed to things like this, but he was just such a trooper,” Arnold said after the Nov. 12 taping DWTS. “He is so supportive and so kind to me all the time. And it’s so nice and refreshing to be around and I just think he’s the best and takes everything like a champ.”

Arnold and her DWTS partner, Stephen Nedoroscik, went on a double date on November 9th with his loved ones to attend Wicked premiere. In a cute group photo posted on Instagram, Arnold, Lyons, Nedoroscik and his girlfriend Tess McCracken were all smiles as they were all dressed up to the max.
“It was so much fun,” Nedoroscik said.
“Me, Stephen, Tess and Walker go really well together,” added Arnold. “We had such a good time and honestly one of my favorite dates.”
“It was really fun – Walker is funny,” remarked the Olympic medalist, saying he “absolutely” approves of Arnold and Lyons’ relationship.
This comes just two weeks after Arnold and Nedoroscik told PEOPLE that they have yet to have a double date on DWTS Halloween show on October 29. “We haven’t had a double date yet, but it has to happen,” she admitted.
“It’s going to happen,” Nedoroscik said. “It has to happen.”
“That would be fun,” Arnold joked at the time.
Arnold revealed she was dating the University of Southern California tight end in an Oct. 27 Instagram post, which included several cute shots of the pair hugging after the Lyons game.
