With Harry having such a controversial image, Arnold lucked out with her current boyfriend. Fans are now comparing them to a younger version of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. One fan wrote, “Better be travis & Taylor for Halloween.”
On October 4, the professional dancer hopped on TikTok to rave about her dates with a mystery man. She was clearly referencing her new beau. He is so sweet and humble and has just all the amazing qualities. So I’m really curious to see how this all pans out,” she gushed at the time.
