Stephen Nedoroscik’s ex-girlfriend Tess McCracken was by his side for some of his major career milestones.
The pair, who started dating in 2016, connected in college and bonded over a shared love of gymnastics. When Nedoroscik secured a spot in the 2024 Olympics, McCracken was by his side cheering the pommel horse gymnast on as he took home the Bronzel. McCracken also supported Nedoroscik during his Dancing With the Stars season 33 run, which ended in a fourth place finish.
In April 2026, McCracken confirmed that she and Nedoroscik called it quits after dating for nearly a decade.
“There’s not really a good way to make this video, so I’m just gonna say it, I guess. Stephen and I are no longer together,” McCracken said in a TikTok video. “We haven’t been since the beginning of January.”
McCracken shared there was “no drama” or underlying scandal with Nedoroscik that led to their breakup.
“It was really just time, and that sucks a lot. There’s really no other way to put it. We were together for almost 10 years,” she continued. “We met and got together when we were 17 and 18, and we’re now 27 and 28. As it turns out, there are things that didn’t matter at 18 that matter when you’re in your later 20s.”
In a subsequent video, McCracken denied rumors that a difference in political opinions contributed to the demise of their romantic relationship.
