The Stephen Nedoroscik Tess McCracken split has officially been confirmed after months of fan speculation. The Olympic pommel horse bronze medalist and his longtime girlfriend are no longer together, ending a relationship that spanned nearly a decade. McCracken broke the news in a TikTok video posted April 4, revealing the Stephen Nedoroscik girlfriend break up happened quietly at the start of the year.
“Stephen and I are no longer together, and we haven’t been since the beginning of January,” McCracken, 28, said in the video. She admitted she had been putting off a formal announcement for months, but fan speculation—including Reddit threads and cleaned-out social media, made it impossible to ignore. The couple met at Penn State in 2016 and started dating during their freshman year.
In the video, McCracken addressed rumors head-on. She denied any cheating, any ultimatum about getting engaged, and any dramatic blowout fight. “There was no drama. It was really just time, and that sucks a lot,” she said . The couple grew apart naturally as they entered their late 20s. “Things that didn’t matter at 18 matter when you’re in your later 20s,” she explained.
The timing aligned with the end of their apartment lease in mid-January, making the decision practical even if painful . McCracken kept their cat since Nedoroscik is allergic and she already handled most of its care . She is now living in a new apartment, rediscovering her own interests, and adjusting to life without her partner of ten years .
Despite the breakup, McCracken made her feelings clear. “I absolutely wish Stephen all the best. There’s no bad blood,” she said . She wants to see him succeed but acknowledged that “the way that support is coming has to be different now” . Nedoroscik, who won bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics and competed on Dancing With the Stars, has not yet publicly commented on the split .
