Are Janel Parrish and Sasha Farber from Dancing With the Stars Dating?
Following the separation of Hallmark star Janel Parrish and her estranged husband Chris Long, fans have speculated about a potential romance between her and former Dancing With the Stars pro Sasha Farber.
“She’s still got it @janelparrish 🔥,” Farber captioned a post on Instagram on April 9, 2026, featuring a video of them dancing on a sidewalk.
In reply, Parrish said, “Thanks for dancing with me as I laughed in your ear very loudly.”
Parrish participated in Dancing With the Stars season 19 alongside Val Chmerkovskiy in 2014, finishing third. Farber was part of the troupe that same year.
Despite the 2026 dance video, neither Parrish nor Farber commented on their relationship status, which was released shortly before the actress announced her divorce.
“Thank you all for the incredibly kind and supportive messages; they’ve genuinely meant the world,” Parrish wrote on her Instagram Stories on April 10, 2026. “After 10 extraordinary years together, including seven years of marriage, Chris and I made the tough decision to end our marriage.”
She concluded with, “There remains so much love and respect between us, and I’m deeply grateful for everything we built together. This chapter of my life, and Chris, will always hold a significant place in my heart. Thank you all once more for the messages of love and support.”
Farber was previously married to DWTS pro Emma Slater from 2018 to 2023.
