Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold are stealing the spotlight with their high-energy performances on Dancing with the Stars! Since they kicked off their partnership with an electrifying debut to “Don’t Stop Me Now,” they’ve become the talk of the town—and fans are here for it! Even Suni Lee is joining in on the excitement!

With every performance brimming with enthusiasm and flair, many are betting that this dynamic duo could take home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Their energy is infectious, and it’s no wonder the show’s ratings are skyrocketing as more viewers tune in to catch the magic. Just a day after their epic third “Soul Train” performance—where they scored a dazzling 30 out of 40—Suni Lee was all about the praise, showing her support for the pair.

Suni Lee got in on the excitement during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on October 9th, where she was asked if she’s been keeping up with the duo’s performances. The Olympic gold medalist had nothing but praise for her fellow Olympian and his talented dance partner, showcasing the camaraderie that runs deep in the gymnastics world.

Suni Lee, who, like Stephen Nedoroscik, made America proud in the French capital by taking home three Olympic medals, said, “Yes, so I went to the first show, but he is doing absolutely amazing. Him and Rylee are the perfect pair. I’m so excited to watch them for the rest of the season, they’re killing it.” Her words might mean a bit more to Stephen, as she was also once in his position.

Suni Lee dazzled us all during her stint on Dancing with the Stars in its 30th season, finishing fifth alongside her partner, Sasha Farber. The Olympic gold medalist brought her gymnastic grace and agility to the dance floor, making it all the way to the semi-finals. While she didn’t snag a spot in the final, Suni left with no regrets.

For her, the journey was about more than just winning. “I feel like I’m more open now, and that was the main goal to come on this show. Obviously, winning was there, but I feel like I love myself more than ever and that is a really important thing,” Suni shared with reporters after her elimination. Talk about a powerful message!

Now, it seems Stephen Nedoroscik is ready to take it two steps further! Partnered with Rylee Arnold, his start on the show has been nothing short of spectacular. With his impressive transition from gymnastics to dancing, he could potentially follow in Laurie Hernandez’s footsteps and become the second gymnast to win the coveted mirrorball trophy. Rylee attributes his success to his incredible work ethic.

Rylee Arnold showers praise Stephen Nedoroscik’s work ethic

While Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold have known each other for just a few weeks, they’ve already formed a great relationship. The duo already have a name for each other, as they call themselves ‘ star-crossed besties’. Rylee doesn’t shy away from heaping praise on her partner either.

Despite being new to the stage, Stephen puts in incredible dedication to the craft, according to her. Talking to Our Era, she said, “Stephen works so hard, sometimes I have to remind him to take a break,” Rylee added, “He knows what it takes to succeed, and he brings that same perseverance to dance, which makes teaching him easier.” From that statement, it’s clear Stephen is treating dance with the same level of commitment he had during his Olympic training.

And let’s not forget his success in Paris, where he snagged a medal for his country for the first time in sixteen years! If his winning approach worked wonders at the Olympics, why wouldn’t it carry over to Dancing with the Stars? Just look at the energy he brings to every performance—it’s infectious!
