Beloved Dancing With the Stars cast member Rylee Arnold is in the midst of her third year as a DWTS pro — partnered with Pentatonix member Scott Hoying for DWTS season 34 — but that does not mean she has left her past partners entirely behind.
For those who need a refresher, Arnold joined the Emmy Award-winning series during season 32, where she was partnered with Too Hot To Handle and Perfect Match star — turned podcaster and social media sensation — Harry Jowsey. Despite consistently receiving low scores, romance rumors between Arnold and Jowsey kept fans intrigued week after week, with the public vote coasting the pair all the way to sixth place.
The following season, the Utah native was partnered with Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik instead, who was seemingly better suited for her than Jowsey. Because of this, the DWTS duo reached finale night and performed a perfectly-scored, critically-acclaimed Freestyle to Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida,” but Arnold and Nedoroscik ultimately finished season 33 in fourth place.
Now partnered with Hoying — and finding themselves towards the bottom of the leaderboard for the first two weeks of the competition — it looks like the 20-year-old is bringing in some extra support to help turn things around, hitting up a previous partner to come join her and Hoying in the studio.
The partner? Stephen Nedoroscik.
@ryleearnold REUNION!!!!! 😭✨🪩✨😭 @Scott Hoying @Stephen Nedoroscik 🇺🇸
♬ you better believe I love me like a friend – 🍞
Lip-syncing to a silly sound about friendship, Arnold shared a video to her TikTok account yesterday (September 27) alongside both her current and previous DWTS partner, captioning the post, “REUNION!!!!! 😭✨🪩✨😭”
Needless to say, fans had a field day in the comment section:
- “The best trio doesn’t exi-“
- “STEPHEN AND RYLEE REUNION!!!!”
- “Crossover we didn’t know we needed”
- “WHAT IS STEPHEN DOING THERE?? YOU BETTER NOT BE PLAYING WITH US!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
- “Omggggg this makes me so happy ♥️♥️♥️ Love all of you!!!”
Hoying and Nedoroscik themselves even got a piece of all the action, with the former appropriately naming the trio, “THE POMMELPUFF GIRLS!!!!! 💖💖💖,” in a TikTok comment. Topping things off, the latter added, “THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!!” How sweet is that?
Nevertheless, will the “Pommel Horse King” make an appearance during this week’s episode of Dancing With the Stars season 34? To find out for yourself, tune into brand new episodes Tuesdays via ABC or Disney Plus.
After all, the highly-anticipated TikTok Night is just days away!
