As the Team USA gymnast—highlighted by his performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics on the pommel horse during the men’s gymnastics team finals on July 29—is winding down his career, his partner of eight years, Tess McCrackenwho was on the edge of his seat.

“I was so upset because of the screaming that I almost passed out,” she explained to NBC News in a July 30 interview, noting that she was mentally telling her boyfriend, “‘Stay on the horse.'”

Tess, 26, who describes Stephen, 25, as a “bullshit man,” happily surprised her self-proclaimed boyfriend, noting that he re-shared every post she saw related to the gymnast.

“The internet has had an unexpected impact on the whole journey,” he added. “It was one of the best times.”
