Why Lindsay Arnold Is Embracing Life Away from 'DWTS'

Former Dancing With the Stars pro Lindsay Arnold is not ruling out a potential return to the ballroom — but season 35 just might not be the right time.

“I've always said that I will literally never say never because I love the show. There's so many aspects of it that I miss,” Lindsay, 32, exclusively told Us while promoting her partnership with Stitch Fix. “In a perfect world, I could do the show and also do all the other things I have and also take my kids to all of their things and also be home. … But I think right now, I am just absolutely loving and embracing this phase of life that we're in.”

Lindsay explained that her children, whom she shares with husband Sam Cusick, will begin school soon and she wants to be fully present in their Utah lives rather than juggling dancing, parenthood and the inevitable responsibilities in Los Angeles that come with DWTS. (The couple are parents to daughters Sage, 5, and June, 3, and son Hayes, 2 months.)
