Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars delivered an exciting and competitive season filled with dazzling routines and potential romances. One of the most talked-about pairs was Bachelorette star Jenn Tran and her professional dance partner Sasha Farber. The duo’s undeniable chemistry sparked dating rumors throughout the season, leaving fans and even judges curious about their relationship status.
A History of Heartbreak
Both Jenn and Sasha have endured public breakups. Jenn’s highly publicized split with Devin Strader on The Bachelorette left her heartbroken after he abruptly ended their engagement. Meanwhile, Sasha’s marriage to fellow DWTS pro Emma Slater ended in divorce in early 2023 after differences over starting a family. Despite their painful pasts, both have shown resilience and positivity.
Chemistry That Lights Up the Ballroom
Throughout the season, Jenn and Sasha’s connection became increasingly apparent. Judges and fellow dancers couldn’t help but notice their bond, with judge Derek Hough openly admitting he “shipped” them after their Rumba performance on Disney night. Although they finished in seventh place after being eliminated during “Halloween Nightmares” night, fans remained captivated by their dynamic.
A Close Friendship — or Something More?
After their elimination, Jenn spoke warmly of her DWTS experience, calling Sasha an “incredible man” and expressing gratitude for their time together. The pair continues to spend time together off the dance floor as well, with Jenn even staying at Sasha’s place temporarily. Though Jenn coyly downplayed the idea of a romantic relationship, their playful TikTok videos and affectionate posts keep fans speculating.
Fans and DWTS Pros Are Rooting for Them
Jenn’s post-elimination TikTok, where she embraced Sasha with the caption “Private rehearsals starting ASAP,” fueled more rumors. Fellow DWTS pros and judges, including Derek Hough and Ezra Sosa, also voiced their support for the duo. The comments reflected a shared sentiment: many hope that Jenn and Sasha’s connection grows beyond friendship.
Why We’re Shipping Jenn and Sasha
Fans can’t help but root for Jenn and Sasha to find happiness together. Both have faced heartbreak and deserve a fresh start. Their undeniable chemistry, shared humor, and genuine care for one another make them a duo worth cheering for. Whether or not they become a real-life couple, their bond has undoubtedly brought joy to many DWTS viewers.
