It’s the end of the dance for Sasha Farber and Jenn Tran, who’ve officially called it quits after nearly a year together.
The Dancing with the Stars pro and the former Bachelorette first met during season 33 of the show and quickly stirred up rumors about more than just chemistry on the dance floor. Now, according to a source close to the pair, they’ve broken up but are still “very good friends.”
The couple never outright confirmed their romance, but fans of the show had no trouble picking up on the vibe. It all started when Tran joined the DWTS cast in September 2024 after her split from fiancé Devin Strader. Sparks flew fast between her and Farber, and their on- and off-camera connection was impossible to miss. The duo’s viral TikTok moment riding a swan boat at Echo Park during rehearsals for Disney Night only added fuel to the fire.
“After this one-on-one date, how do you feel?” “Tran playfully asked Farber in the clip.” “Do you think you’re going to get the rose tonight, Sash?” Fans ate it up. During the show, even host Julianne Hough brought up their chemistry, wondering if it gave them an edge on the dance floor. Tran responded by saying their trust and closeness made them a strong team, while Farber sweetly added, “From the first day I met you, I felt like I’d known you a long, long time.”
Their bond clearly went beyond just rehearsals and routines. After Jenn was eliminated during the “Halloween Nightmares” episode on October 29, she opened up about how grateful she was for her experience, and meeting Sasha. “I’m walking away with a new family that I didn’t know I had and such an incredible man who I got to meet by twist of fate,” she shared.
Even after she left the competition, Jenn teased that their connection might not have ended with the show. She posted a cheeky TikTok just two days later, knocking on Farber’s door with the caption “Private rehearsals starting ASAP #DWTS,” and wrapping her arm around him as he smiled big.
By the finale, the two reunited for a flirty dance set to “Reunited” by Peaches & Herb. They nearly kissed on stage, a nod to the ongoing rumors and public interest in their so-called “showmance.” But their relationship seemed to be more than just a flirty fling for ratings. The pair celebrated Thanksgiving together at the 10th Annual DWTS Thanksgiving Feast hosted by co-host Alfonso Ribeiro and his wife Angela, who even called them the “cutest couple” on Instagram.
Sasha Farber and Jenn Tran continued appearing on each other’s social media in the months that followed, with their last public outing taking place at Stagecoach in April. Even as Tran returned to Florida to focus on her PA school journey, their bond remained intact online.
Their breakup might come as a surprise to fans who were rooting for them, but it sounds like things ended on genuinely good terms. Sometimes a spark burns bright and fast, and while they may no longer be a couple, there’s no bad blood, just good memories and mutual respect.
As for what’s next, both stars seem to be diving back into their own paths. Sasha will likely be back on the DWTS stage when the next season kicks off, and Jenn continues to juggle her career in medicine with whatever surprises life has in store.
