Dancing With The Stars‘s Rylee Arnold and Hailey Bills are squashing rumors of a feud.
Before joining the ABC competition series, Arnold and Bills danced at the same studio in Utah, even performing together as duet partners. In 2018, they both appeared on the first and only season of Dancing With the Stars: Juniors, where Arnold was a runner-up and Bills tied in last.
Arnold became a professional dancer on Dancing With the Stars in Season 32, which aired in 2023, while Bills joined the most recent season as a member of the dance troupe. After Bills joined the show, fans noticed the two hadn’t been posting together as frequently as they did in their teenage years — sparking speculation about a possible feud.
Now, fans can put the rumors to rest, as the pair have confirmed that there’s no bad blood between them.

In the caption, she tagged Arnold and wrote, “NEVER.”
In the comment section, fans were relieved to see the two dancers confirm they’re on good terms.
