Stephen Nedoroscik and his DWTS dance companion Rylee Arnold enjoy double date with partners Tess McCracken and Walker Lyons

US double Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik, along with his Dancing With the Stars partner Rylee Arnold, were recently seen enjoying a double date with their significant others, Tess McCracken and Walker Lyons. Nedoroscik joined DWTS following a successful Paris Olympics campaign.

In August, the 26-year-old gymnast took on a new challenge as he was announced as the first contestant to join season 33 of tDancing With the Stars. To help him perfect his dancing moves, Rylee Arnold, who finished third at the 2014 World Dance Sports Championship, was chosen as his choreographer and dance partner. Announcing the news on Good Morning America, Nedoroscik shared that staying calm was his forte, and he planned to bring the same energy to the dance floor.

During their time on the show, Nedoroscik and Arnold developed a great camaraderie. The gymnast also introduced his girlfriend, Tess McCracken, to Arnold, whom he had met during his college days at Penn State in 2017. McCracken and Arnold went on to become friends.

In a recent interview with People, Nedoroscik and Arnold, who is dating USC Trojans tight end Walker Lyons, shared that they would be going on a double date soon with their respective partners.

"We have not had a double date yet, but that has to happen, that would be a party. It’s going to happen. It’s got to happen," Nedoroscik said about the double date.

Their much anticipated double date recently became a reality as all four were seen together in an Instagram reel shared by Arnold. She expressed her excitement for Ariana Grande's movie Wicked's premiere and wrote:

"DOUBLE DATE NIGHT!!! We are so excited for the wicked premiere tonight!!!"
