Jen Tran a Sasha Farber has kept supporters — a Us — on their toes about whether they are pursuing romance.
After receiving an offer from Devin Strader forward The Bachelorette season 21, Tran revealed during the live After the Final Rose episode in September that he had called off their engagement while the show was airing. The following day, Tran was cast on season 33 of Dancing With The Stars.
Like Tran began to “heal” through dance, he came into contact with Farber. The pair sparked romance rumors later that month when Farber referred to Tran as “babe” in a TikTok posted to her account.
After being eliminated from the reality series during week 6, Tran hinted that the two are going to continue dancing – and spending time together. “Private practices starting ASAP,” he wrote via TikTok in October.
As they continued to strap on their dancing shoes in their own time, Tran raised eyebrows when she admitted that she living under the same roof like Barber. “Sometimes I crash on his sofa,” he said to sight360 Us Weekly and other outlets in the DWTS season 33 finaleto which Farber said, “She needs to look for a house.”
Following months of speculation, Us it was confirmed in December that Tran and Farber officially dating.
Scroll down to see the timeline of their connection:
Farber showed Tran his loving nickname as they filmed TikTok eating an ice cream cone. “Babe, can I have some?” Farber asked Tran if he was denying him a taste. “That’s so rude.”
Farber and Tran often sparred with each other during press for the show. “He’s such an amazing coach. Every week we grow stronger and stronger and closer and closer,” Tran said Us on week 2. “I really feel like we’ve built such a great foundation.”
Tran noted that she “really” trusted Farber while placing a hand on his shoulder. “And that trust is getting stronger every day,” he said, to which Farber replied, “Why do you touch me every time? I can’t say enough how proud I am.”
DWTS guest judge Gene Simmons weighed in on the speculation when Tran and Farber called “make a steamy couple.” The pair were not surprised at his comment.
“Listen, he’s an icon. It’s a rock and roll night. It’s Hair Metal Night,” Farber said Us. “And if you think icon, what icon would you think is bigger than Gene Simmons? Nobody. So to have him say that – I’ll take anything he says. “
Before Disney Night on DWTS in October, Tran was seen in the pre-dance package asking Farber if he was going to “kiss the girl” after they danced to “Kiss the Girl” from The Little Mermaid. Farber eventually pressed a kiss to her forehead after the dance.
Tran said later Us that they chose to keep their routine as true to the Disney film as possible, noting that Princess Ariel and Prince Eric “don’t kiss.”
“We wanted to do the scene justice and make it the way the movie was,” he said Us. “We don’t want to do things that didn’t happen in the movie, that would be crazy.”
DWTS judge Inaba noted in October that Farber and Tran “You have a really great connection,” but she explained that she did not intend to insinuate that they were more than friends.
“When I talk about (their) chemistry, I don’t mean it in a sexual way. In partner dancing, it really helps to have a natural chemistry where you can feel your partner,” she says Entertainment Weekly. “You can predict where they’re going because there’s just a continuous connection.”
Following their removal on DWTSTran shared a TikTok in October of her beating at the Farber home. Farber opened the door and the duo embraced.
“When one door closes another door opens,” Tran lip synced in the clip. “We so often look so long and so sadly at the closed door that we do not see those that open for us.”
Fellow DWTS cast members took to the comments section to share their support. “I give this a 100. Happy for you both ❤️,” judge Derek Hough he wrote, while Ezra Sosa he said, “I ship it.”
Sosa posted the same audio to his page, captioning the clip, “I’ve been (carrying) the wrong couple this whole time 🥲.” (Sosa is probably referring to DWTS season 33 couple Brooks Nader a Gleb Savchenko.)
Tran and Farber got a stamp of approval from her brother, James. “When is the wedding rehearsal? 🤔,” James commented on Tran’s Instagram montage of theirs DWTS seconds.
Before Bachelorette and DWTS season 29 winner Kaitlyn Bristowe She said during an October episode of her podcast “Off the Vine” that Tran and Farber are “definitely” dating.
Bristowe explained that she had been on the phone with Farber recently. “I was like, ‘Well do you love your partner and your time with Jenn?’ He was like, ‘It’s me,'” Bristowe recalled. “He was really hyping her up and I was saying, ‘Are there flirty feelings?’ She said, ‘He’s dancing, there’s always a flirty vibe.'”
Tran and Farber were spotted in similar outfits while walking in Los Angeles in November and color coordinated their looks at a farmer’s market later that month.
Tran credited Farber with helping her navigate the aftermath of her breakdown. “He kept reminding me that it’s the things that aren’t online that really matter, It’s your friends and family who know you the best that really matters,” she told People in November. “Right after the breakup, I was going through a lot of things being said online and things being leaked, and I had to turn off my phone.”
He continued, “Sasha helped me a lot and told me that at the end of the day it’s my friends and family that really matter and everything is going to blow over on social media and keep doing me because, at the end a day, I only have myself, right?”
Strader shared a series of photos via Instagram in November and threw shade at Farber in the comments section. “Jenn found a great guy his name is Sasha,” one user wrote to which Strader replied, “That’s a girls name (sic).”
Farber went on to set the record straight about the origin of his name. “The name Sasha is short for Alexander,” Farber wrote via her Instagram Story in November. “You know who else had the same name, Alexander the Great!!! FYI 😂.”
During an appearance on Tish Cyrus‘ Sorry We’re Cyrus podcast, Tran said she and Farber are “BFFs for life.” Cyrus subsequently referred to Farber as Tran’s boyfriend later in the episode. “Oh, God. If you say love, he’s going to freak out,” quipped Tran.
After Tran said on the “Sorry We’re Cyrus” podcast that she was finding a place to live and “that’s probably Sasha’s couch right now,” she gave an update on her living situation.
“Sometimes I crash on his couch,” she told Us and other outlets after the November season finale DWTS. “I’m also out of a flat very soon and he has five bedrooms in (his) place.”
Farber noted that Tran would stay over at his home when they had “a lot of exercises” for him DWTS.
Tran and Farber attended DWTS cohost Alfonso RibeiroThanksgiving meeting with his wife, Angelaand the pair were pictured eating next to each other. “Cutest couple: Sasha and Jenn,” Angela wrote through Instagram.
Tran claimed during TikTok in December that Farber wearing a similar cologne to her former Bachelorette contestant Sam McKinney.
“I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I smell Sam M right now,'” Tran said. “Isn’t it crazy how a cologne or scent can bring you back to a certain time period? Because I was like, ‘That smells very familiar.’ Like, ‘Who do I know?’ And then it was just like, flashback after flashback.”
While all signs pointed to dating, things got weird in December when Tran long split Instagram tribute from her time on DWTS and praised Farber for helping “to heal a wound you didn’t make.” At the time, Farber said, “Ohh, thank you, you blossomed into a beautiful dancer, I hope we can stay friends and stay in touch! 🙏🙌🏻.”
Hours later, Farber took i Instagram to share a sweet photo of Tran holding his dog. “She says I’ll take ruby for a walk, and when she says that, she means I’ll carry her everywhere 😂😍,” he wrote, and Tran told him, “I I love ruby as a friend😍 I hope she stays in touch!”
Farber could be trolling as fans are determined about their status, but only time will tell.
Questions were finally answered in December when a source exclusively said Us that “Jenn and Sasha are dating.”
