Stephen Nedoroscik's Dancing With the Stars partner, Rylee Arnold, recently responded sweetly to one of her fans' heartfelt messages. The fan wrote about being inspired by Arnold's success despite the pro dancer suffering from type 1 diabetes.
Nedoroscik met Arnold during the 33rd season of DWTS, where they were partnered together and delivered stunning performances throughout the season. The duo also reached the finals; however, they couldn't secure a podium finish, finishing fourth. They reunited at the DWTS tour, which was cut short for Arnold, citing an ankle injury she sustained while rehearsing.
Both are currently busy in their respective careers. The gymnast is seemingly gearing up for competing in the 2025 US Championships, and Arnold is enjoying her off-season. Amid this, Arnold recently received an adorable message from one of her fans, who spoke about how inspiring the dancer's success is despite having type 1 diabetes.
The 19-year-old shared this message on her Instagram story that read:
"I just have to tell you that you are still one of very favorite people to watch videos of! In his world, all the type 1 diabetics he "knows" are doing huge, incredible things and living amazing lives and he gets to witness it regularly..."
"I just wanted to thank you for helping him believe nothing is impossible for him- and for helping me believe that too. We are so proud of you and always rooting for you!!❤️," it added.
Reacting to this sweet message, Arnold penned a heartwarming note that read:
"It's messages like these that just make my heart so happy🥹"
