When the ballroom collides with a story that feels straight out of a Hallmark film, sparks are bound to fly. Sasha Farber may no longer be off the market, and fans are quickly picking up on the shift as the “Dancing With the Stars” pro, 41, appears to be stepping into a real-life romance with Hallmark actress Janel Parrish. From two very different worlds, the couple is now at the center of growing buzz, with their connection unfolding in a way that feels both unexpected and undeniably heartfelt.
Sasha Farber Shares Sweet Photo Moments With Janel Parrish
The buzz grew after Farber shared an April 27 Instagram post highlighting a series of candid moments from the past few weeks. Among the photos were sweet, affectionate glimpses of Parrish, including one where she leans in for a kiss, a moment that quickly caught fans’ attention.
“April has been amazing,” Farber wrote in the caption, adding a red heart and rose emoji. Parrish echoed the sentiment in the comments, replying, “Yes, it has,” along with a white heart and crown emoji, adding to the sense of a shared, joyful moment between the two.
Fans And DWTS Family React to ‘Hard Launch’ Moment
The post quickly drew attention from fans and fellow “Dancing With the Stars” personalities, many of whom wondered if the pair had quietly taken their relationship public.
“Is this a Hard Launch?” judge Derek Hough commented.
“Happy you’re happy, my friend,” added pro dancer Peta Murgatroyd.
Rylee Reynolds also chimed in with enthusiasm, writing, “HARD LAUNCH?!?!?!”
Emma Slater wrote: “Love this!!!!!!! ❤️❤️😍😍😍”
The most convincing reaction to the romance came from Julianne Hough, who shared: “Yayyyyyyy to love ❤️”
Fans shared a similar reaction, filling the comments with messages of excitement and support as they celebrated Farber’s apparent happiness.
“This is def the hard launch!! I’m so here for it! I love to see you happy 🥰,” one fan wrote.
“So happy for you two ❤️,” another added.
Others leaned into the moment with humor, with one fan commenting, “This isn’t a hard launch! It’s a rocket 🚀 launch, and I love it!!! Quite the fle,x Sasha!!!!”
Confirmation Comes Amid Recent ‘Cozy’ Sightings
The two have also been spending time together away from social media, offering a glimpse into their growing connection.
On April 26, Farber and Parrish were spotted at the Studio City Farmers Market in Los Angeles, where they appeared comfortable and at ease, walking side by side.
Farber was seen with his arm around Parrish’s shoulder, and the pair later held hands as they strolled and chatted.
Their bond has been building over the past few weeks, with both sharing lighthearted moments online, including videos of them dancing together.
Earlier in the month, Farber posted a clip of Parrish dancing, writing, “She’s still got it @janelparrish 🔥,” a moment that first sparked curiosity among fans.
Both Stars Move Forward After Past Relationships
GettyTheir connection is a reminder that sometimes life’s unexpected turns can open the door to something new and meaningful.
If confirmed, the relationship would mark Farber’s first public romance since his split from “The Bachelorette” alum Jenn Tran in 2025.
The two met during Season 33 of “Dancing With the Stars” and were linked for about a year.
Farber was previously married to fellow pro Emma Slater from 2018 to 2023.
Parrish, 37, recently shared that she and her husband, Chris Long, had separated after seven years of marriage.
“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.”
While neither Farber nor Parrish has officially confirmed their relationship, their recent posts and public outings have left fans sure that a new chapter may be quietly begun for the two.
Their story feels like a reminder that second chances can unfold just like a Hallmark romance.
