Sasha Farber has been making headlines for his alleged romance with Janel Parrish. Amid that, let's take a look at his ex-wife, who was also a pro 'DWTS' dancer.
Sasha Farber and Janel Parrish have been hogging the headlines for their alleged romance after their recent post. For the unversed, Janel recently separated from her husband of eight years, Chris Long. The report was further confirmed by TMZ, with an insider alleging that the couple has been separated for a few months now.
However, amid that, the focus has shifted to Sasha Farber and his personal life. The Australian dancer and choreographer was previously married, and now, amid rumours of his romance with Janel Parrish, fans are intrigued to learn who his ex-wife is and what happened between them. So, as we wait for a confirmation about the blooming romance, let's take a look at who Sasha's ex-wife is.
Janel Parrish and Sasha Farber's dating buzz has everyone on the edge of their seats. The professional dancer is known for his stint on Dancing with the Stars, whereas Janel rose to fame for her performance in Pretty Little Liars. The speculations around their romance started making rounds after Sasha posted a video of the pair dancing together in a parking lot and captioned it as, "She's still got it @janelparrish". On the other hand, Janel reshared the clip and penned, "When you ask @sashafarber1 to teach you a dance in the parking lot."
While neither Janel Parrish nor Sasha Farber has confirmed the alleged buzz around their relationship, a celebrity gossip site, DuexMoi, reportedly shared a picture of the couple cosying up inside Black-Market Liquor Bar in Studio City. For the unversed, Janel and Sasha have appeared together on season 19 of DWTS. However, that was not all; sources have also claimed that Janel and Sasha not only spent Easter together but were also alone for two nights earlier this week.
Sasha Fraber was previously married to another Dancing with the Stars pro, Emma Slater. However, their relationship was anything but a walk in the park. For the unversed, the couple's romance first started in 2011. Nonetheless, after dating for three years, Sasha and Emma called it quits in 2014. While many thought it might have been the end of the pro-dancing pair, they found themselves back in each other's arms the following year. After facing several ups and downs in their relationship, the couple finally found some stable ground and decided to build their happy home on it.
Sasha Farber and Emma Slater got engaged in front of their DWTS costars and fans during a 2016 episode of the competition series, after the former got down on one knee, saying, "Babe, I wanted to do this for such a long, long time. I love you so much. Will you marry me?" The UK native, Emma and the Australian hunk, Sasha, tied the knot in March 2018 at Bella Blanca in Los Angeles. At the time, Sasha told Us Weekly:
"It was something out of a fairy tale, and she was beautiful. I kept telling her every hour, every ten minutes, every five minutes, 'You look beautiful.'"
While fans believed that Sasha Farber and Emma Slater had found their happily ever after, that didn't seem to be the case. The couple allegedly called it quits in April 2022 after four years of saying 'I Do'. According to reports, the couple faced challenges after walking down the aisle, like having to live separately due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, it wasn't until February 2023 that they announced their separation after Emma filed for divorce. It was finalised in May 2023.
It wasn't long after that Emma opened up about what caused their divorce. In a conversation with The Viall Files podcast, she revealed that they couldn't get on the same page about having children.
"It’s really the kid thing. It’s interesting because I do want to have kids; I just don’t want to delay Sasha’s path to having kids, because I know he is ready for that. I don’t want to talk about him too much because that’s really for him to say, but it’s about kids."
After Emma and Sasha parted ways, the latter allegedly dated his Dancing with the Stars partner, Jenn Tran. The two didn't spark dating rumours until after they were eliminated during the October 29, 2024, episode, and their elimination continued to fuel the speculation. It was in November 2024 that Jenn revealed that she "sometimes I crash on his couch" in a conversation with Life & Style. The couple dated for a year before calling it quits in June 2025. She further stated:
"We had a lot of rehearsals, so we would go rehearse, and then I’m also out of an apartment very soon, and he has, like, five bedrooms in the place. And he has dogs that need to be walked and fed and dishes to be cleaned and meals to be made."
