Dancing With the Stars fans have been rooting for Emma Slater and Sasha Farber — on and off the ballroom floor — for years.
After meeting in 2009, the dancers started dating in 2011. Three years into their romance, however, they hit pause on their relationship — but continued to work together on the ABC show.
“It goes through moments, but I think the world of Sasha. I really do,” the U.K. native told Glamour of working with her ex in December 2014. “I wouldn’t have been so close to him for three years of my life. He’s just the best person. I don’t think we’re supposed to finish together. I think there are other people that might make us both individually happy, but I’m always going to be his best friend. I feel like his best friend right now. It has just happened in the way we have gone from a beautiful three-year relationship, which I love and cherish, to best friends.”
Slater added at the time that the twosome still lived together, but they were “completely fine” with the arrangement.
By 2015, the pair opted to give their romantic relationship another shot. He proposed on Dancing With the Stars in October 2016. Slater accepted and Us Weekly broke the news when they exchanged vows in 2018.
The happiness was short-lived, however, and the pair called it quits for good in February 2023. They finalized their divorce the following year.
