Rylee Arnold and Stephen Nedoroscik have taken their Dancing With the Stars partnership to the next level — with double dates.
Stephen, 26, and girlfriend Tess McCraken accompanied Rylee, 19, and boyfriend Walker Lyons to the Wicked premiere in Los Angeles on November 9. The star-studded event was a “fun” evening for both couples, Stephen and Rylee told Us Weekly exclusively following the Dancing With the Stars 500th episode on Tuesday, November 12.
“Me, Stephen, Tess, and Walker go really well together,” Rylee gushed to Us. “We had such a good time, and honestly, one of my favorite date nights.”
Stephen noted that he “absolutely” approves of Rylee’s new man. “Walker’s hilarious,” the Olympian added.

Rylee surprised fans late last month when she debuted her relationship with the USC freshman tight end on Instagram. The professional dancer posted a photo of her cozying up to the athlete after his game on October 27.
The DWTS pro first teased a double date with Stephen while chatting with Us following the October 29 live show.
“We have a break and we’re definitely going on a double date,” Rylee said at the time. Stephen added, “It’s definitely going to happen soon, especially with the four-day break coming up.”
At the time Rylee also joked that she needed Stephen’s “stamp of approval” on the relationship and, of course, she’s on board with the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce comparisons.
“Honestly, [it’s] so iconic,” Rylee said of the popstar and her NFL man. “Like, that’s my dream coming true. Walker’s a tight end. Travis Kelce’s a tight end. I love it.”

Walker appears to be adjusting well to the spotlight. He and Rylee spoke about their budding romance — and how it has taken the world by storm — while walking the Wicked red carpet this past weekend.
“First red carpet together [and] first public outing together, so this is really fun,” Rylee told Access Hollywood on Saturday. Walker noted that it was “super cool” to attend the event with whom he said was “easily the most beautiful” date.
Before going public with their relationship, Rylee noted that she was dating someone new in a TikTok last month.
“We have so many similarities which was so fun to talk about,” she told followers. “He is so sweet and humble and just all the amazing qualities. So I’m really curious to see how this all pans out.”
Dancing With the Stars airs simultaneously on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
