A season 32 “Dancing with the Stars” finalist has a new nickname and fans are getting quite a kick out of it. Stephen Nedoroscik, who partnered with Rylee Arnold, shared the fun news in an updated bio on X, formerly Twitter.
Stephen Nedoroscik Is Now Nicknamed ‘Doop’
Fans of “Dancing with the Stars” like to keep an eye on Nedoroscik’s X bio, as he changes it frequently. His newest version reads, “Nikita has named me. I’m ‘Doop.'”
Nikita is the daughter of married “Dancing with the Stars” professional dancers Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov. The family is doing the show tour right now, as is Nedoroscik.
One “Dancing with the Stars” fan shared a screenshot of Nedoroscik’s updated bio in the show’s subreddit. “I’m Dead. I love him so much,” the original poster wrote as a headline for the post. They added, “Can we agree to just call him Doop from now on 🤣🤣.”
A Reddit user commented, “Stephen❌doop✅ 😂😂😂.”
“This is hilarious,” added another fan.
“We love Nikita- I wonder if she has nicknames for the other pros,” someone else wondered.
On February 28, “Dancing with the Stars” fans caught that Nedoroscik had another Nikita-related bio. “Nikita waved to me (this is a big deal),” he wrote.
A fan on Reddit commented on the bio change by writing, “Nikita has so many uncles and aunts. I love that she seems to love all the cast so much even if she doesn’t always hug them or wave at them. Those little moments are so heartwarming.”
“So cute. Nikita is so adorable,” gushed someone else.
Nikita Has Provided Lots of Sweet Moments on the DWTS Tour
Nedoroscik is not the only tour member who finds Nikita fun and adorable.
On February 10, Ezra Sosa shared a sweet video on his TikTok page. The clip showed fellow “Dancing with the Stars” pro Britt Stewart and Nikita sharing a hug and doing some sign language.
Sosa was also standing there, and he reached out to see if he also could get a hug. Nikita gave him a serious look that indicated there would be no hug for him. She did give him a high five though.
A new TikTok video of Sosa’s shared on February 21 showed a big moment involving Nikita. He explained that he and Nikita trade bracelets every day. In the caption he wrote, “She makes me cry everyday.”
The video showed the usual bracelet exchange, and Sosa again reached out to see if he could get a hug. Unlike the prior video, this time, Nikita cautiously moved in to provide the hug.
Sosa said it was a highlight of his tour.
