Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik and his girlfriend, Tess McCracken, have called it quits after 10 years of dating.
âStephen and I are no longer together, and we havenât been since the beginning of January,â she shared via TikTok Saturday.
âItâs been long enough and people have figured it out,â she added, explaining that she deleted all photos of herself with the Bronze medalist on social media and had come across âmultiple Reddit threadsâ about their relationship.
âI feel like itâs just easier to have it out in the open and not really have to hide it anymore,â McCracken, 28, continued.
âI wasnât really trying to hide it in the first place, but itâs weird to have to announce your breakup,â she added.
Clearing up speculation behind their split, the TikToker said, âThere wasnât any drama, there wasnât some big, blowup fight where one of us stormed out, there wasnât any cheating [and] neither of us came out as gay.â
McCracken also shut down rumors that she gave the 27-year-old athlete, who participated in the 2024 Paris Olympics, an âultimatumâ about getting married.
âIt was really just time, and that sucks a lot. Thereâs really no other way to put it,â she stated, adding that she and Nedoroscik started dating when they were 17 and 18, respectively.
âNow 27 and 28,â the former gymnast added. âAs it turns out, there are things that didnât matter at 18 that matter when youâre in your later 20s.â
Despite parting ways, the exes remain on amicable terms.
âThereâs no bad blood. I want to see him succeed in everything, but the way that support is coming has to be different now,â McCraken said.
The former couple split when their apartment lease ended in January, and McCraken has since moved into a new apartment in Florida.
Nedoroscik and McCracken met in their freshman year at Penn State in 2016, when both were on the schoolâs gymnastics team.
âI was like, âThis girl seems cool.â Sheâs a little weird like me, so we kinda clicked,â Nedoroscik previously told Access Hollywood.
McCracken stayed by her now exâs side as he competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics and Season 33 of âDancing With the Stars.â
