Matt James congratulates Lindsay Arnold after breast augmentation

Matt James sends his congratulations to the ex Dancing with the stars partner Lindsay Arnold after her she underwent breast augmentation.

A few hours after the procedure, Arnold (31) took charge TikTok on Wednesday, Jan. 15, to applaud a user who told her she would “regret” cosmetic surgery.

The professional dancer lip-synced to the viral sound: “Girl don’t do it, it’s not worth it. I won’t do it girl, I was just thinking about it. I won’t do it.” At the end of the clip, Arnold utters, “I did it,” and unbuttons his shirt to reveal his post-surgery bandages.

“New 🍒 entered the chat and zero regrets here 🤩🤩🙌🏼🙌🏼,” Arnold captioned the post. In response, James, 33, commented: “LMAOO!! Congratulations Linds 🎈🎈.”

A month before the procedure, Arnold announced that she planned to have a breast augmentation and lift, calling it a “Christmas present”. Arnold told TikTok in December 2024: “It’s something I’m very excited about. I know there are mixed opinions on this type of thing, so I understand that. … If it’s not for you, it’s not for you.”

Arnold, to whom he has yet to return DWTS since her season with James, she explained that she and her husband “don’t you have kids” but they were in no hurry. “I just decided I didn’t want to wait,” she said in a separate TikTok. “Obviously (I) know there are chances that I might have to get picked up or whatever later in life, but I don’t want to wait any longer. … We’re just putting (family planning) on ​​hold a little longer.”

Arnold and James struck up a friendship after being partnered together DWTS season 30 where they were eliminated on Disney Villains night. In July 2024, James and his then-girlfriend Rachael Kirkconnellvisited Arnold and her family in Utah. (Arnold is mom to daughters Sage, 4, and June, 20 months, whom she shares with her husband Sam Cusick.) Arnold gushed and TikTok at a time when James and Kirkconnell were their “favourite guests”.

Months into the trip, James announced that he and Kirkconnell he called it quits. “Father God, give Rachael and I the strength to mend our broken hearts. Give us peace about this decision to end our relationship that goes beyond worldly understanding,” James wrote on Instagram on Thursday, Jan. 16, along with a photo of him and Kirkconnell on Bachelor season 25

Kirkconnell has yet to comment on the split.
