Stephen Nedoroscik is living his life to the fullest post-Paris Olympics. Meanwhile, his girlfriend seems to be fulfilling some dreams too. After putting up quite a show on the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ floor, the Olympic champion got a break before the final lap of the show began. Putting his free time to good use, ‘The Pommel Horse Guy’ planned a double date night with his girlfriend, Tess McCracken. It also included his dancing partner, Rylee Arnold, and her boyfriend, Walker Lyons. 

In a recent social media update, Nedoroscik and Arnold posted about their latest outing. Gracing the premiere of the upcoming Ariana Grande-led movie ‘Wicked’ in Los Angeles, both the pair seemed to be having a lot of fun. A video story on Instagram dated November 9 showed Walker and Arnold leading the way as Nedoroscik and McCracken beamed in the backseat of their car. 

Both the pairs also shared that they were running a bit late while trying to reach the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in LA on time. In one of Rylee Arnold’s stories, she could be heard saying, “Hopefully we make it time for the carpet.” Now, while it is evident that all four of the lovebirds had a blast, the occasion became even more special for Stephen Nedoroscik’s girlfriend. Tess McCracken seems to have been fascinated by the character of Elphaba from ‘Wicked Witch of the West’ since childhood. 

In an Instagram upload, McCracken posted one of her pictures when she was a child. The throwback picture depicted little McCracken decked up as Elhaba on Halloween 2009. She captioned her story, “Someone tell her she gets to go to the LA movie premiere one day.” She also shared her sadness, as no one could recognize her Halloween makeup back then. McCracken wrote, “No one understood who 1 was back in 2009.” 

Cut to November 2024, McCracken was once again Elhaba, but this time, everyone could recognize her. Decked up in a feathery black outfit designed by Evan Hirsch, McCracken dazzled as her favorite childhood character. Posing with her beau on the red carpet, her Instagram caption read, “For the little girl from 2009 who was Elphaba for Halloween.” Thus, it was a coming-of-age moment for Tess McCracken as the four glamorous couples enjoyed the evening to the fullest.

Meanwhile, with the friendship between Nedoroscik and Arnold growing stronger, the latter is seeking approval from Nedoroscik for her boyfriend, Walker Lyons.

Rylee Arnold seems to value Stephen Nedoroscik’s opinion

Rylee Arnold cannot wait for Stephen Nedoroscik to meet her tight-end boyfriend, Walker Lyons. Back in October this year, Arnold opened up about her romantic relationship with Lyons, who is the freshman tight end for the Southern California football team. Elaborating on her plans to go on a double date with Nedoroscik and his girlfriend, Arnold had a surprising ask. She joked and said in her interaction with the US, “I need Stephen’s stamp of approval, don’t I?”

Surely, with the ongoing friendly back and forth, it is crystal clear that the friendship between Nedoroscik and Arnold has gotten stronger. It now remains to be seen if they can channel the chemistry on stage for some more electrifying performances in the upcoming episodes of Dancing With The Stars.
