Abuja, Nov. 5, 2019 ( NAN) An American ball dancer, Lindsay Arnold has taken to her social media page to let her fans and viewers of `Dancing With the Stars’, know that she would not be performing during Monday’s show due to unexpected death of her mother-in-law.
Dancing with the Stars is an American dance competition television series that premiered on June 1, 2005, on ABC. Each couple performs pre-determined dances and competes against the others for judges’ points and audience votes.
NAN reports that Lindsay Arnold Cusick is an American professional Latin and ballroom dancer, also a professional dancer and choreographer on `Dancing with the Stars’.
The 25-year-old professional dancer, who was partnering with Sean Spicer on Dancing with the Stars Show (DWTS), is putting family first during this difficult time.
Arnold wrote on Instagram saying, “I am so saddened to say that my beautiful, loving, selfless mother-in-law has unexpectedly passed away.
“Family is the most important thing to me and being with my husband and our family at this time is exactly where I need to be.
“I will not be performing tonight on the show and although I wish I could be there I know that home is where I need to be. Thank you for all your love and support. Families are forever and I know that without a doubt.”
NAN also reports that Arnold got married to her longtime boyfriend and High School sweetheart Sam Cusick in 2015.
While Cusick has not been active on Instagram since June, his followers were already sending their condolences following the news that his mother died.
In place of Arnold, her best friend and professional dancer Jenna Johnson, who was eliminated recently along with her partner Karamo Brown would be dancing with Spencer.
“Tonight I dedicate this dance to my best friend @lindsarnold, who trusted me to dance with Sean this week. Lindsay, I would do anything for you girl. Sending so much love and prayers to you and your family during this hard time,” Johnson wrote on Instagram.
Johnson also shared a clip of her dance number with Spicer to her Instagram Story and wrote, “hope we made you proud @lindsarnold, I love you so so so much”.
