He has been teamed with pro partner Peta Murgatroyd during season 22 of DWTS.
Nyle

The top model stripped down to just a loincloth as Tarzan for the performance.
DWTS co-host Erin Andrews asked Nyle how he managed to hit the beat without hearing any of the music.
'Being
born deaf I think actually helps me because sound never existed for me,
so basically I just follow Peta's movement and I act it out,' he said.
'I can see the beats from Peta and that's how we do it,' he explained through an interpreter.

Tyra and her partner Erik Asla welcomed her first son York via a surrogate in January.
The TV host last month told E! News that she shares night duties with Erik.
'Some
mornings you wake up, and you're like, "Where am I?" I don't know
what's going on. And I know it's not a good idea for me to drive right
now because I did not sleep. So I balance that and his [York] dad helps,
and we go back and forth so that's good,' she said.
Mother and son: Tyra shared a snap of herself with son York on Valentine's Day
'Erik does about 40 percent diaper duty at night. So we're almost 50/50,' she said.
Tyra said she was on maternity leave at the time and was learning the art of delegation.
America's
Next Top Model was cancelled last year by The CW, but was picked up by
VH1 in February and will return with Tyra as an executive producer, but
no longer as the host.
