Slater was married to Sasha from 2018 to 2024, and they’ve continued to remain friends since their split. In fact, Slater posted a TikTok video addressing her status with Farber in March 2026. “If you can’t handle that exes can be mature and can be friends,” she wrote in the caption, “I’m sending you love and positive vibes but I also know it’s not my problem to solve. Meant with love, I’ve just healed moved on from that.”
Last October, Farber had a similar response to his ex-wife’s new romance with fellow dancer Alan Bersten, whom she went public with in April 2025. “Definitely not awkward,” Farber said of dancing alongside Slater and her boyfriend, according to E! News. “I’m really happy for her and Alan and I wish them nothing but the best.”
Prior to his relationship with Parrish, Farber was rumored to have been dating The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran after she competed on Season 33 of DWTS. The reportedly split in June 2025, according to People.
Farber and Parrish first hinted at their romance on social media earlier this month. Parrish shared a TikTok video where she danced with Farber, joking in the caption that they’d run into each other in a parking lot. “She’s still got it @janelparrish,” Farber wrote, according to People, referencing when Parrish competed on DWTS in 2014. Parrish’s partner was Val Chmerkovskiy, and Farber was a dance troupe member.
A day after their first TikTok video, Parrish announced her separation from husband and chemical engineer Chris Long. They’d been in a relationship for a decade and married in 2018. “There is still so much love and respect between us, and I’m deeply grateful for everything we built together. This chapter of my life, and Chris, will always mean so much to me.” Parrish wrote in an April 10 Instagram Story, per E! News.
On April 16, fans speculated that Farber had soft-launched a relationship via Instagram, with some guessing that the woman facing away from the camera was Parrish. Users noticed Parrish comment white heart and crown emojis below the post, per People, but it was later deleted. His DWTS costars commented on that post, too: Savchenko wrote, “So happy for you bro.”
