Dancing with the Stars is well-known for spawning many successful romances. And some that crashed and burned. DWTS pros Sasha Farber and Emma Slater fell in love in the ballroom and later married. However, their relationship didn’t work out, and the duo split. So, how does Sasha feel about Emma dating fellow pro, Alan Bersten?
Sasha and Emma ended their four-year marriage in 2022. They were able to work together on DWTS without any issues and remained friends. There was no drama from their breakup. How refreshing! And Sasha only has supportive feelings for Emma as she moves on.
Sasha Farber spoke about his friendship with ex-wife Emma Slater and her new boyfriend Alan Bersten
During Season 33 of DWTS, Emma and Alan spawned dating rumors. However, the duo hard-launched their relationship in early September 2025. Recently, Sasha opened up Emma and Alan’s romance.
“We are still close,” Sasha told E! The Rundown about Emma. “We are friends … I don’t like bad blood. I thank her for the incredible years that we’ve had together, incredible memories.” He added, “We just move on and want the best for each other.”
The dancer continued, “I don’t look at her anymore like she’s someone who I was married to. I look at her as a friend. I think that time has passed already, so now it’s, like, wish them luck.” Sasha added that he and Alan are “not not friends.” So, I guess that means that they are friendly? I applaud Sasha and Emma’s mature approach to their friendship and working relationship.
For Season 34, Alan and his partner, Elaine Hendrix, are dancing in the finals. When Emma posted a supportive video via Instagram celebrating her new man’s achievement, Sasha weighed in. “Congrats guys,” Sasha commented along with a clapping hand emoji. “Thanks Sash,” Emma responded. I really hope that we see Sasha in the ballroom next season!
Dancing with the Stars airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+. It will stream on Hulu the next day.
