"Honestly Life Changing" - Rylee Arnold makes heartfelt confession about her experience of partnering with Stephen Nedoroscik after DWTS grand finale

Rylee Arnold recently made a heartfelt confession about her experience of partnering with double Olympic medalist gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik after the grand finale of the 33rd season of the dance reality show 'Dancing with the Stars'. Arnold and Nedoroscik finished fourth overall, by virtue of audience vote.

In an interview with Access Hollywood soon after the grand finale, the 19-year-old choreographer spoke about her experience with the 26-year-old gymnast. When asked about partnering with Nedoroscik for the show, Arnold replied,

"Meeting Stephen, having Stephen as my partner and being on this journey with him was seriously life changing, and his, the way he lives his life and inspiring us, is just how I'm gonna take that with me through the rest of my life. He just changed me really in a lot of ways." [0:03 onwards]

Stephen also chimed in as he commented,

"I mean I was gonna say [the same about] Rylee, but that was so sweet. No seriously, I don't think anyone could have coached me as well. Dances well with me, she's such a patient person, I'm not the best dancer. She put up with so much when she came to teaching me. I'm so appreciative of everything."

Rylee Arnold's fourth-place finish alongside Stephen Nedoroscik is her greatest achievement at "Dancing with the Stars" since 2018 when she finished as runners-up in the junior edition. Arnold had finished sixth last year when she partnered with Harry Jowsey.
