Arnold was a part of the DWTS Live Tour, which was co-hosted by her dance partner and double Olympic medalist gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik. However, an ankle injury midway during the tour forced her to sit out for the final leg of the tour, which had wrapped up by April 19 in the state of Illinois.

The gymnast shared a post on Instagram thanking Arnold for her support as he wrote,

"Thank you so much Rylee for giving me not only an amazing experience on the show, but for also being a truly great friend and dance partner throughout tour as well. I joined tour because I wasn’t ready for our dance journey to be done yet. Thank you to the entire cast. Whether you were here the whole time, or just a week, you all made this experience something I will cherish forever."

The 19-year-old responded to the post by commenting,

"STEPHEN!!! You made the tour!!! I’m so proud of you and was just so lucky that I was paired with you for this era and season of our lives."
