Sasha Farber, a professional dancer on “Dancing With the Stars,” recently addressed the dynamics of working with his ex-wife Emma Slater, who is now in a relationship with fellow dancer Alan Bersten. During a TikTok live session, Farber dismissed any notions of awkwardness between them, expressing his happiness for Slater and Bersten. “I’m really happy for her and Alan and I wish them nothing but the best,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of moving on without harboring any negativity.
Reflecting on his past relationship with Slater, Farber mentioned that life doesn’t always go as planned and that there’s no benefit in holding onto resentment. “There’s no point of hate, because it would only eat you up inside,” he explained, encouraging a positive outlook on their shared history.
Farber and Slater’s romantic journey began in 2011, and they faced ups and downs over the years, including a brief separation before their engagement on DWTS in 2016 and marriage in 2018. However, their relationship ended in 2023, attributed to differing views on starting a family. Slater shared during a podcast in 2023 that she wanted children but did not want to delay Farber’s aspirations for parenthood.
In a recent development, Slater has been reported to be romantically involved with her DWTS co-star Alan Bersten. The couple confirmed their relationship during a live taping of the show, where they shared a kiss. While Farber has stepped back from being a featured pro in season 34 of DWTS, he remains connected to the show and was spotted backstage supporting Slater, demonstrating a continued friendship.
Fans have noted the amicable nature of Farber and Slater’s interactions, with many expressing relief that they still maintain a friendly relationship, despite their past romantic ties. “They will always have a huge part of their lives be each other,” one fan remarked.
“Dancing With the Stars” continues to air on ABC and Disney+, drawing fans into its vibrant world of dance, competition, and evolving relationships.
