Arnold had teased a new man in her life in a recent video on TikTok. 

“OK friends, get ready with me for rehearsal while I debrief the date I went on a couple nights ago,” gushed Arnold in the video. “Fun fact, we actually hung out last night as well. We have so many similarities which was so fun to talk about,” she continued. “He is so sweet and humble and just all the amazing qualities. So I’m really curious to see how this all pans out.”
