The Arnold sisters —Lindsay, Jensen, Brynley andRylee— have turned a shared love of dance into a strong sisterly bond.

“Dancing is something we’ve invested our lives into, and we’ve learned how to support each other and be there for each other through all of it,” Lindsay toldDance Spiritin October 2018. “It’s brought us so close as a family.”

Now, the siblings often show up to support one another, most recently at Rylee’s performances on season 33 ofDWTS.

“My sisters are the people I call first for everything. I spend more time with them than any friend ever,” Lindsay said in aTikTokin September 2023. “My sisters are my main girl friends and my best friends, and it’s actually the best thing ever.”

From growing up in Utah to their shared dance bond, here’s everything to know about the Arnold sisters.

They were raised in Utah

Josh, a cosmetic injector, and Mindy, a former physical therapist turned dance studio owner, welcomed their first daughter, Lindsay, in January 1994.

When they were kids, Mindy opened up a dance studio so that her daughters would have a “family environment” to perform, Lindsay toldDance Dish Mediain June 2017. They went on to train across styles, with a special love for ballroom dance.

While the sport has brought the sisters in and out of Utah over the years, they revealed on theirYouTubechannel that they don’t want to leave their home state permanently.

“I think mostly just to not be with everyone would be so sad,” Jensen said in July 2023.

Jensen alsomarried her high school boyfriend, Topher Hill, on Dec. 27, 2018, at the Salt Lake City Temple, with Lindsay as her matron of honor. They welcomed their first child,Brooks, on June 22, 2022, and announced in September 2024 that they wereexpecting a second childdue in March 2025.

Two years later, Brynley wed Donny McGinnis on Oct. 9, 2020. Together, they share two kids: daughterQuincy, born on Aug. 4, 2022, and sonRez, born on May 7, 2024.

Meanwhile,Rylee began datingUSC football playerWalker Lyonsin October 2024. As the youngest aunt of the group, she often shares photos on Instagram documenting how much she enjoys caring for her nephews and nieces.

“aunt life is the best life🥹 so grateful!” she wrote onInstagramin November 2022.

Lindsay, Jensen and Rylee competed on reality dance shows

Lindsay competed onSYTYCDin 2012 before joining the professional cast ofDWTSin 2013. Four years later, shewon her first mirrorballwith her partnerJordan Fisher. The dancer eventuallystepped away from the showin 2022 to focus on being with her family in Utah.

In 2018, Jensen competed (and was runner-up) onSo You Think You Can Dance, while Rylee was competing onDancing with the Stars Junior, in which Lindsay was her coach and mentor.

During a May 2024 appearance onThe Squeezepodcast,Rylee explained that being onDWTShad been her “dream” since she watched her sister at a live taping when she was 8 years old.

Soon after finding out she was going to be a pro on season 32 ofDWTS, Rylee shared anInstagramvideo of her siblings reacting to the news, with Lindsay picking up Rylee and swinging her around as they jumped up and down in excitement.

Lindsay made her ownInstagramannouncement that same day, celebrating the “full circle moment.”

“To say I am proud is truly an understatement. This girl is the hardest worker, beyond talented, humble, and so kind and she is going to absolutely kill it this season!” Lindsay wrote.

Although Lindsay and Rylee have not competed on the same season, Lindsay made a guest appearance in the studio during Rylee’s firstDWTSseason to assist her and her partner at the time,Harry Jowsey. Now, all three sisters (and their kids) are frequent audience members.

Brynley also grew up as a dancer, but took a different career path

Rather than following in her older sisters' footsteps and becoming a dancer, Brynley pursued a career as a registered nurse.

During an April 2024 appearance onGot It From My Mommapodcast,Mindy said that Brynley was “a great dancer” and at the “same level” as the other girls.

However, after living with Lindsay for three months in Los Angeles and immersing herself in the modeling and dancing scene, she decided she didn’t love the lifestyle. Mindy recalled Brynley coming home and putting her sights on nursing school instead.

In November 2021, Brynley shared anInstagramtribute to her “ER family” before revealing she would be starting a new role as a director of nursing, writing that she has “loved every second of working here.”

Lindsay has been “more than a mentor” to Rylee

Lindsay has had a big influence on Rylee’s life, from being her mentor onDWTS Juniorto providing support through her first year as aDWTSpro.

During a September 2023 appearance onLightweights Podcast with Joe Vulpis,Rylee explained how Lindsay was “more than a mentor.” She shared how her sister and formerDWTSpro helped her along the way for her firstseason, from giving her opinions after rehearsals to helping her respond to press questions.

“She was in my ear helping me with everything, just as simple as, ‘How do I respond to this text to this person?’ ” Rylee said. “There’s been times I’ve done press, and they are like, ‘She has such a great PR team, she’s doing such good answers,’ and I’m like, ‘It’s Lindsay.’ ”

Lindsay has credited this special bond to their 12-year age gap.

Rylee echoed the sentiment while appearing onThe Squeezea few months later, adding that she had “looked up to [Lindsay] my whole entire life.”

They have a YouTube channel together

Dancing isn’t the only thing the Arnold sisters have shared. In September 2019, they started a YouTube channel titledThe Arnold Sisters.

From dance challenge videos to opening up about motherhood, the siblings have documented their lives for years in over 300 vlog-style videos.

While the four used to film together consistently in the beginning, their posting schedule became more sporadic as time went on, which Lindsay explained in aMay 2024 videowas due to life getting “pretty crazy.”

“I don’t know if we’re ever going to be able to get back to the good old OG days ofArnold Sisterswhere there were no children involved, where we were posting every single day, multiple times a day,” she said. “Life is different for us now guys, and it’s harder.”

They’ve called one another “best friends”

Lindsay revealed on TikTok that her sisters are her “absolute best friends in the whole entire world.” She added that they have group FaceTime calls daily and “are really all that close.”

While addressing “assumptions about us” during aFebruary 2023 video ofThe Arnold Sisters, Lindsay, Jensen and Rylee debunked the myth that some are more tight-knit than others.

“It’s so funny because that’s not true, we just gravitate to each other,” Jensen said, before Rylee added that it “depends on the day, too.”

Lindsay joined in and joked, “Some days I like Rylee, sometimes I don’t.”
