Sasha Farber and Janel Parrish have seemingly entered a happy new chapter together, and the moment is being met with warmth from fans and those closest to them.
After weeks of quiet hints and shared moments that sparked curiosity, the “Dancing With the Stars” pro, 41, appeared to confirm his relationship with the Hallmark actress, 37, in a heartfelt Instagram post on April 27.
The photos captured a series of personal, affectionate moments, including snapshots of Parrish kissing Farber on the cheek. “April has been amazing ❤️🌹,” Farber captioned the post.
Beyond the romantic images, the post also included softer, everyday glimpses of their time together, from a relaxed dinner with Parrish’s dog to candid moments in a sauna, offering a look at a connection that has grown naturally over time.
The post was met with an outpouring of support, including a kind response from Farber’s ex-wife and fellow “Dancing With the Stars” pro Emma Slater.
Emma Slater Reacts With Support to Ex-Husband Sasha’s New Chapter
Among those who responded to the post was Farber’s ex-wife and fellow “Dancing With the Stars” pro, Emma Slater, who offered a supportive message that did not go unnoticed.
“Love this!!!!!!! ❤️❤️😍😍😍,” Slater wrote in the comments, showing encouragement as Farber embraces a new chapter.
GettyFarber and Slater share a long and deeply intertwined history. The two first met in 2009 while performing in Broadway’s “Burn The Floor” and confirmed their relationship in 2011.
After parting ways in 2014, they found their way back to each other the following year.
Their story continued on “Dancing With the Stars,” where Farber proposed to Slater during a live taping in 2016, a moment that became one of the show’s most memorable milestones.
The couple went on to marry in 2018.
In 2022, they made the difficult decision to separate, with Slater filing for divorce in 2023, citing irreconcilable differences.
Despite the end of their marriage, both have spoken about maintaining a close bond.
In a 2025 podcast appearance, Slater shared that their connection remains strong, describing Farber as family and noting that their love never fully disappeared, even as they chose to move in different directions.
Her recent comment reflects that continued support, highlighting a dynamic that has evolved from romance into lasting respect and care.
Weeks of Speculation Lead to a ‘Hard Launch’ Moment
Earlier in April, Parrish first hinted at their connection in a lighthearted TikTok, where the pair danced together and joked that they had “run into” each other in a parking lot.
The moment was followed by more shared glimpses, including a playful salsa session and behind-the-scenes visits, as Farber spent time with Parrish on set.
Their growing connection has also extended beyond social media. The two were recently spotted together in Los Angeles, appearing relaxed and at ease as they spent time side by side, further adding to the sense that something meaningful was developing.
The Instagram post quickly drew reactions from fans and fellow “Dancing With the Stars” personalities, many of whom celebrated the moment while wondering if it marked an official step forward in their relationship.
Farber’s new chapter comes after his split from “The Bachelorette” alum Jenn Tran in 2025, following nearly a year together after meeting on Season 33 of “Dancing With the Stars.”
Parrish, meanwhile, recently shared that she and her husband Chris Long had decided to part ways after seven years of marriage. TMZ was first to confirm their divorce.
“Thank you all for the incredibly kind and supportive messages; they’ve truly meant the world. After 10 beautiful years together, including seven years of marriage, Chris and I made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.
She added, “There is still so much love and respect between us, and I’m deeply grateful for everything we built together.”
As both move forward, Farber and Parrish’s connection appears to have grown naturally over time, evolving from quiet, shared moments into something more visible. While neither has formally defined their relationship, their recent posts and time together suggest a new chapter taking shape, one that has already been met with support from those around them.
