Dancing With the Stars fans have seen many dance partners transform into real-life partners for good. Jenn Tran, holding the title of The Bachelorette’s first Asian-American lead, and her dance partner, Sasha Farber, have their fans wondering about the reality of their relationship from the moment they came to the scene during Season 33.
As former partners on the dance show, there are hints of something more than just professionalism between the two. Their dance moves and their interactions on social media often leave viewers wondering if the two might be more than just dance partners.
How Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber’s Dating Rumors Started
Jenn Tran joined Dancing With the Stars directly from The Bachelorette after her engagement with Devin Strader ended. For his part, Sasha Farber became a cast member of the show as a professional dancer. The dancer was married to the show’s fellow dancer Emma Slater, but the couple divorced in February 2023.
The dating rumors started when Tran shared some videos on her TikTok where she was seen denying Farber a share of her ice cream after they went to McDonalds. In the video, Farber asked, “Babe, can I have some?” to which Tran replied, “No! It’s my cone. If you wanted a cone you should have ordered one.”
Viewers felt a close chemistry between the partners from their playful banter, especially after noticing the word “Babe” from Farber. He also posted a very emotional message to Tran on Instagram. “Not enough words to say how proud I am of this girl right here,” he wrote, noting that he is “so glad” they “crossed paths” and Tran came into his life.
The feeling was reciprocated by Tran, who further commented, “Thanks for putting a smile on my face every day.” Following that, they shared many such flirty conversations on social media, which only fueled the dating rumors.
Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber’s Response to Dating Speculation
Tran and Farber often gave the best of non-answers when asked about their relationship status. In an interview with E! News in September 2024, Tran said, “We have so much fun together,” and Farber’s response was as identical as it could get. Their synchronized deflection only served to fan speculation.
In Off the Vine podcast, Kaitlyn Bristowe also chimed in on the dating scene. She told Tran to “flirt with Sasha” saying, “he’s cute and you get to dance with him.” Tran responded to her, saying, “He’s adorable, what do you mean? He’s the best! He’s such a sweetie.”
Their dating speculation was fueled further when guest judge Gene Simmons referred to them as a “steamy couple” during week 4. In response, Farber gave a tongue-in-cheek reply to Us Weekly as he told, “Listen, he’s an icon. It’s rock ‘n’ roll night… I’ll take anything he says.”
Birthday Flirtation Heats Up Dating Rumors
The most recent installment of their possible love story happened on November 24, when Tran celebrated her birthday. She shared a video from Farber’s couch on TikTok. In the video, she asks him to teach her a birthday dance. She says, “Honey, can you teach me a dance for my birthday?” to which Fraber replies with a “no.”.
Farber further went on with their flirty banter by saying, “Why are you still here, in my house?” The video shows their comfortable dynamics even after their Dancing With the Stars elimination. Fans have almost confirmed that the former dancing partners are dating as many commented,
“HONEYYYYY”
“The little giggle at the end.. We know you are not going anywhere Jenn.”
“‘Why are you still here in my house?’ oh Sasha… we all know, ‘honey’.. we ALL know”
“Coming again tomorrow… when the world knows you live there”
“lol i love the dynamics of y’all’s relationship”
For the celebration of her birthday, Farber took to Instagram to pen Tran a lovely message while sharing a video of her having a sparkler-lit desert. His caption speaks volumes with lines like “It’s someone’s birthday today! So glad our paths crossed at the LAST second, you have been nothing but a joy to work with,” and “You have been nothing but a joy to work with… You made me realize that life is one big dance and we can dance through it together!”
This response, combined with their continued social media friendships and flirty banter with each other, has only left fans with an even higher belief that there is more than dancing between them.
Dancing With the Stars is available to stream on ABC platforms and Disney+.
