Sasha Farber and Jenn Tran may have taken their chemistry outside the Dancing with the Stars ballroom, leading fans to suspect the two are in a relationship.

The DWTS pro and The Bachelorette star met in September 2024, shortly after her broken engagement to Devin Strader went public. Although their partnership began with Tran confiding in Farber about her love life, it evolved as sparks appeared to fly between them on stage and social media.

During week 6, host Julianne Hough asked the pair if their chemistry impacted their dancing and partnership, to which Tran responded, "We trust each other so much, we know each other so well, so that's why this works so well."

When Tran asked Farber how he felt about their collaboration, he said, "From the first day I met you, I feel like I've known you a long, long time."

After they were eliminated, Tran teased on Instagram that Farber wouldn't be getting rid of her just yet. However, neither have publicly addressed whether they are together. (Farber was previously married to fellow DWTS pro Emma Slater and they divorced in 2023.)

So are Sasha Farber and Jenn Tran dating? Here's everything to know about the DWTS pro and The Bachelorette star's rumored relationship.

They met as partners on Dancing with the Stars

Farber and Tran didn't find out they would be on DWTS until the final hours leading up to the cast reveal.

They were both in Los Angeles the night before with no plans to be on season 33 — which changed when Tran officially wrapped filming for The Bachelorette and was invited to join the DWTS season 33 cast.

"I was crying on stage, I go back, we're done filming, suddenly somebody comes into my dressing room [and tells me], 'You have 45 minutes to get on a plane and get to New York because you're going on Dancing with the Stars,' " Tran told The Hollywood Reporter in September 2024.

She met Farber — who didn't even have a plane ticket yet — while sprinting through the airport to try and catch the flight. After being eliminated in week 7, Farber reflected on their first encounter during a post-show interview with Extra in October 2024.

"I wasn't even going to be on this season and everything happened so last-minute," he said. "I feel like it was fate that we got together and met at the airport and danced."

They shared “amazing chemistry” on DWTS

Throughout their partnership on the reality dancing competition show, the two often spoke — and received comments — about their chemistry.

In September 2024, E! News asked them if they were aware of the online chatter, to which Tran jokingly responded, "What chemistry? ... We have so much fun together."

During the show, Tran shared a behind-the-scenes look at their out-of-the-studio lake excursion, which was meant to help them get into their The Little Mermaid characters for Disney Week. Tran shared on TikTok that filming an activity outside of the dance studio made her feel like she was reprising her role on The Bachelorette.

Following their adventure, Tran jokingly asked Farber, "After this one-on-one date, how do you feel? Do you think you're gonna get the rose tonight, Sash?"

They've kept up their dancing lessons after their DWTS elimination

Right after their elimination, Extra asked if Farber and Tran would date post-show. Although Farber softly dodged the question, he opened up about their partnership.

"I wanted her journey to be purely about dance, it wasn't about our showmanship," he said. "Yeah, we have amazing chemistry, and you can see that through our dancing, and I'm really proud of her."

When explicitly asked if they were "shutting down" the rumors, Tran laughed and said, "Yeah, we just shut those down."

She also told PEOPLE that she is walking away from the show "with a new family that I didn't know that I had, and such an incredible man who I got to meet by twist of fate."

However, once her time on the show wrapped, Tran continued posting videos with her dance partner. She joked that she had him on "speed dial" and teased that their followers "want the truth."

They have also kept up with their dance lessons despite no longer needing to attend studio rehearsals. In the week after ending her run on DWTS, Tran shared on TikTok that "private rehearsals [are] starting ASAP."

She posted a video of her knocking on Farber's door, with the sound, "When one door closes, another door opens."

Derek Hough, one of the DWTS judges, commented, "I give this a 100 :) happy for you two ❤️."

Their family and costars "ship" them

During Disney Night, the pair danced a romantic rumba to The Little Mermaid's "Kiss The Girl," which ended with Farber kissing Tran on the forehead and sparked another wave of friends and family signing off on their spark.

Before giving critiques, Derek asked, "Is it weird for me to say that I ship this?"

As they awaited their scores, Julianne asked, "A kiss on the forehead? Sasha, come on!"

He told Julianne that he was going for "elegant" and "classy," later telling PEOPLE that he thought he would "be a gentleman."

Following her elimination, Tran posted a sentimental montage on TikTok with clips of her and Farber from their first rehearsal to their last, prompting friends, family and fans to comment on their flirty interactions.

Her brother, James, gave his stamp of approval by asking, "When’s the wedding rehearsal? 🤔."

Meanwhile, their castmate Ezra Sosa wrote, "Im in a puddle."
