A Permanent Reminder of an Unlikely Partnership
Ezra Sosa recently revealed a new tattoo commemorating his brief but memorable partnership with Anna Delvey on Dancing with the Stars. The professional dancer shared a TikTok video showing off the fresh ink, which features the word “nothing” and the number 33, a reference to the current season of the show. Sosa’s tattoo pays homage to Delvey’s now-iconic one-word response after they were eliminated from the competition. In the TikTok post, which Sosa captioned “I’m such an idiot,” the dancer can be seen smiling and mouthing along to host Julianne Hough’s voice announcing, “There you have it. Absolutely nothing.”
Delvey herself seemed amused by the permanent tribute, commenting “Exactly” on Sosa’s post. Fellow DWTS stars also weighed in, with Olympian Ilona Maher and professional dancer Rylee Arnold offering positive reactions. The tattoo represents more than just a punchline – it symbolizes an unexpected bond formed between the professional dancer and the controversial socialite convicted of fraud. Despite their early elimination, Sosa revealed that the pair have maintained regular contact, texting each other daily since leaving the competition.
Behind the Scenes of an Unexpected Friendship
Following their elimination from Dancing with the Stars, Sosa posted a heartfelt message on Instagram expressing gratitude for his time with Delvey. “Yes, she’s been controversial, but working with her gave me the chance to see a different side— one filled with her hard work, determination, and resilience,” wrote Ezra Sosa.
“I want to thank you for dancing with me and for opening up. You allowed me to see a side of you that not many have, and I’m grateful for that. I truly hope that one day, America gets to see that side of you, too,” said Ezra Sosa.
The unlikely duo’s relationship has continued to entertain fans even after they departed from the competition. In a recent TikTok video preparing for their return to the ballroom for the season finale, Delvey playfully flipped off Sosa while they mouthed words to a humorous audio clip about knowing people in the prison system. The video showcased their unique chemistry, with Delvey dressed in a multicolor jacket and sweats while Sosa sported a gray sweatshirt and pink pants. Their combined score of 35 during their time on the show may not have impressed judges, but their partnership certainly left a lasting impression on viewers.
The Grand Finale Return
Fans of Dancing with the Stars can look forward to seeing Sosa and Delvey reunite on the dance floor for the season 33 finale. Despite Delvey’s comment on Good Morning America that her favorite part of the experience was “getting eliminated,” the pair’s return promises to be a highlight of the season’s concluding episode. Sosa has described Delvey’s dismissive “Nothing” response to their elimination as “iconic” – iconic enough to warrant permanent ink on his body. The finale will air on ABC and Disney+, with streaming available on Hulu the following day.
“Nothing,” said Anna Delvey, when asked for her reaction to their elimination, a response Ezra Sosa described as “iconic.”
In recent interviews, Sosa has been sharing additional behind-the-scenes insights from his time with Delvey and offering his thoughts on the new cast members for upcoming seasons. His willingness to embrace the partnership with such a controversial figure has endeared him to fans and demonstrated his professionalism as a dancer. While their time in the competition was brief, the unusual pairing of a professional dancer and a convicted fraudster created one of the most talked-about partnerships in recent Dancing with the Stars history – one that Sosa will now carry with him permanently, inked on his skin.
