Lindsay Arnold is stepping into a new chapter. 

After sitting out of last season of Dancing With the Stars, the pro revealed whether she’s coming back this fall.

“I’ve been thinking very heavily about it,” she told her followers in a recent TikTok. “And ultimately, this season is not going to work out for me and my family. I know that’s not the answer that probably some of you want to hear. But at the end of the day, it’s what’s best for me and my family.”

As Lindsay—who’s raising daughter Sage and baby girl June with husband Sam Cusick in Utah—explained, there were several factors that went into this decision. 

“The logistics of moving myself, my 2-and-half-year-old and my 3-and-a-half-month-old down to L.A. for a few months by myself, it’s just a lot,” she noted. “And to be honest, a lot of it is I don’t want to separate our family. I don’t really want to put my kids through that right now. I feel like this time of their life is so precious, and it’s moving so, so fast, and I want to cherish every single moment. I don’t want to miss a beat. And right now, the thing that’s giving me the most fulfillment and joy is being a mom.”
