‘DWTS’ Alum Sasha Farber Addresses Rumors He’s Dating Julianne Hough

Sasha Farber is done dancing around all the rumors surrounding his dating life.

After fans speculated that the former Dancing With the Stars pro could be dating Kaitlyn Bristowe, Julianne Hough or Francia Raisa, Farber, 41, decided to set the record straight.

“First of all, it’s so funny. I’ve known Kaitlyn for so many years,” he shared in an interview with E! News’ The Rundown published on Thursday, November 13. “Anytime she comes to L.A., we’re literally hanging out, so definitely no hard launch there.”

On November 7, Farber uploaded an Instagram video in which he and the former Bachelorette star danced in a kitchen.

While celebrating Dancing With the Stars’ 20th Birthday Party episode on Tuesday, November 11, Bristowe, 40, laughed off any dating rumors.

“I didn’t see the reactions. Were people being like, ‘Hard launch,’ or something?” Bristowe asked Entertainment Tonight. “Sasha and I are very good friends. Every time I come to L.A., I hang out with him and see him. We always dance together. I didn’t know it sent people into a [tailspin].”

Farber also talked to E! News about Hough, 37, who recently spent some time dancing with her former colleague.

In a joint Instagram post earlier this month, the pair danced to “Tambourine” by Eve in someone’s backyard.

“New trick unlocked!!!! TRY IT!!!” Farber wrote via Instagram on Sunday, November 9. “We don’t have fun at all, also this is right before I stepped in dog s*** ? @juleshough.”

Before fans start speculating that something could be going on romantically between this pair, Farber shut the chatter down.

“With Jules, the same thing. I’ve known Jules for over so many years,” he said in his latest interview with Erin Lim Rhodes. “She calls and goes, ‘Hey, come around. …  Bring Ruby,’ who is my little dog. We were just talking life, and Jules is amazing. We go backwards and forwards with life advice.”

Farber added, “So to answer your question, no hard launches. They are all friends, and [I’m] still looking.”

Farber was previously married to fellow Dancing With the Stars pro Emma Slater from 2018 to 2022. The duo have remained friends and frequently see each other while filming ABC’s competition show.

“We’re still like family, so it isn’t really like the love is not there, it’s actually not that at all,” Slater revealed in an August 2023 episode of the “Viall Files” podcast. “We’re just at potentially two different places. But the hard part was that the love actually didn’t go [away].”

At the time, she explained, “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 in having kids because I know that 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.”

Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
