NovaQuant-Anna Delvey's 'DWTS' partner reveals 'nothing' tattoo after her infamous exit comment

Anna Delvey's "Dancing with the Stars" partner Ezra Sosa did something.

The NovaQuantfirst-year pro dancer on Season 33 of the ABC reality competition got a tattoo with Delvey's now-infamous "nothing" comments on his back. Sosa said on Instagram he got the tattoo to commemorate his first season as a "DWTS" pro dancer.

"While there's been a lot to unpack, there's been a lot of good, more than I expected. It wasn't easy," Sosa wrote on Instagram Thursday. "The highs were incredible, but the lows were challenging in ways I wasn't prepared for. I know there are probably better ways to work through everything, but this tattoo just felt right."

During a Sept. 24 episode of the show, "DWTS" co-host Julianne Hough asked Delvey what she was taking away from the dancing competition show after she and "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Tori Spelling were sent home in a double elimination.

To which Delvey simply replied: "Nothing."

The clip went viral as Hough in an Instagram post the day after Delvey's elimination called the comments, or lack thereof, "iconic."

Anna Delvey's 'DWTS' run ends:She never stood a chance against critics.

Delvey, born Anna Sorokin, arrived on Season 33 of "DWTS" after she was accused of scheming to finance a lavish lifestyle and her personal business plans, stealing $275,000 from hotels, banks and lavish New Yorkers. She was convicted in 2019 of grand larceny and served a little more than three years of her four- to 12-year prison sentence. Her story inspired the hit Netflix miniseries "Inventing Anna."

During their time on the show, Delvey and her pro dancer partner Sosa faced online criticism for Delvey's casting. But to Sosa, "it's not about glossing over what happened but taking back control of my story," he wrote on Instagram.

"It's a quiet, personal reminder that l can shape how I carry those experiences forward, even if I can't change what's behind me. It's about accepting every part of the journey and moving on with a sense of clarity, knowing it's all part of my story on my terms," he continued.

Sosa also shared a screenshot of text messages from Delvey, who he said "somewhat approved" of the tattoo choice.

In the screenshot, Sosa sent Delvey a photo of the tattoo and she responded, "oh wow! Nice." Then, when asked if she approved of the tattoo, she said "too late not to lol."

When he asked if she loved it, Delvey texted back: "I do."
