Troupe member (and Johnson\u2019s niece) Hailey Bills<\/strong> is hitting the road with the pros.<\/p>\nWhile fans are thrilled to see some of their favorite DWTS<\/em> personalities on stage, Rylee Arnold<\/strong> won\u2019t be joining the fun.

I\u2019ve made the best memories and met the best people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arnold continued, \u201cThis year, I had to make the hard decision to sit it out and focus on my health, especially with managing my Type 1 diabetes, which can be tricky on the road. I\u2019m gonna miss it SO much, but I\u2019ll definitely be cheering everyone on and can\u2019t wait to come watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sosa, 25, publicly supported Arnold at the time, writing in an Instagram Story upload of his own, \u201cThe decision you made to put your health first is such a strong and mature one, and I honestly admire that so much. It takes real courage to do that in this industry, and I hope you know how inspiring that is. \u2026 Love you always. \ud83d\udc96.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since her elimination from season 34 with partner Scott Hoying<\/strong>, rumors swirled that Arnold won\u2019t return to the DWTS<\/em> ballroom at all \u2014 but she swiftly shut down the speculation.<\/p>\n\u201cI definitely feel pressure, [and] I think every single dance I\u2019m [choreographing] has to be good. I feel like I have to present myself,\u201d she said on Julianne Hough<\/strong>\u2019s The Morning After Show<\/em> earlier this month. \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of things this year [and] people saying I\u2019m not coming back next season \u2026 or people saying I don\u2019t know how to teach or do these things. I\u2019m trying to understand that [is] just noise.\u201d<\/p>\nRylee \u2014 whose sister Lindsay Arnold<\/strong> competed on 10 seasons of DWTS<\/em> before her 2021 exit \u2014 explained: \u201cWe don\u2019t know if we\u2019re gonna be on the show until the summertime. I would absolutely love to do another season \u2014 if not a bunch of more seasons \u2014 if they want me there. I think hearing that noise from [different] sources that probably aren\u2019t even true is super, super hard. \u2026 [I am] just staying in my lane, doing the very best I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
