Rylee Arnold is “training” a new dance partner!
The Dancing with the Stars pro posted a video to TikTok on Dec. 31 of her and her boyfriend Walker Lyons attempting lifts on the beach while in Hawaii. The pair practiced a few variations — including the iconic Dirty Dancing move — and Arnold and Lyons improved with each take.
“Training my boyfriend for the next season of DWTS,” Arnold, 19, joked in a caption posted over the video.
In the post’s caption, she added, “Oh he is so ready 😂🤭.”
Prior to the post, Arnold had shared a glimpse of their trip to Hawaii in a separate TikTok, documenting their travels to the island and their adventures once they arrived.
“Literally the best day ever!!! ❤️🔥” she captioned the clip on Dec. 30.
Arnold confirmed her relationship with Lyons in October. In an Oct. 27 Instagram post, which featured several sweet snaps of the couple hugging after Lyons’ game, she wrote, “Is this a hard launch?? 🤭❤️🔥”
Arnold revealed in a TikTok later that month that she met Lyons through mutual friends.
“I feel like our personalities match really well already, so I’m interested to see how this will go,” she said of the University of Southern California tight end, who she was preparing to go out on her first date with.
Arnold later opened up about how the college football player has navigated his newfound fame.
“He’s being such a trooper because I know it’s so hard to go from not being exposed to things like this, but he’s just been such a trooper,” Arnold told PEOPLE after the Nov. 12 taping of DWTS. “He’s so supportive of me and just so kind to me all the time.”
She added: “And it’s so nice and refreshing to be around and I just think he’s the best and he’s taking everything like a champ.”
Since then, Arnold has been gushing about her new beau on social media, with videos of them snuggling up around the holidays and jetting off to Hawaii for a post-holiday getaway.
The couple also enjoyed a double date with Arnold’s DWTS season 33 partner, Stephen Nedoroscik, and his girlfriend Tess McCracken at the Wicked premiere on Nov. 9, and Arnold was in the crowd watching Lyons play in USC’s loss to Notre Dame on Nov. 30.
