Stephen Nedoroscik received an adorable welcome from his girlfriend, Tess McCracken, after the conclusion of his DWTS tour. The gymnast was the co-host of the tour.

Nedoroscik joined Dancing With the Stars after his Paris Olympic campaign, where he won two bronze medals in the team all-around event and the pommel horse event. He was partnered with Rylee Arnold for the show, and they reached the finals, earning a fourth-place finish. He reunited with the team during the DWTS tour, which commenced on January 7, 2025 and after being executed in 68 cities, it recently ended on April 19, 2025.

A few days after the wrap-up, Nedoroscik returned home to his girlfriend, McCracken, and received a cute welcome from their cat, Kushu. The latter shared a video on her Instagram story where the gymnast was adorably cuddling his cat and added a GIF that read:

"Welcome home."

Shortly after the tour ended, Stephen Nedoroscik penned a heartwarming note on Instagram, reflecting on the entire journey. Calling himself blessed, he wrote:

"I am so blessed to have spent these last 108 days cohosting the Dancing With The Stars Live Tour. Thank you to everyone who made this tour possible, together you all made it so enjoyable," wrote Nedoroscik.

He further also extended gratitude toward his dance partner, Arnold, for her support and for being a great friend. This post garnered the attention of his girlfriend, who left a humorous four-word comment that read:

"No more assless chaps😞"
