A Whirlwind ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Romance Has Already Come to an End
‘DWTS’ pro Sasha Farber and Hallmark star Janel Parrish have reportedly split after a brief but public and intense romance.
Sasha Farber and Janel Parrish have split after a whirlwind romance, according to an insider for People. The Dancing with the Stars pro and former contestant “hard-launched” their romance on social media on April 27.
A source told People that, as some fans suspected, Farber and Parrish have broken up.
The two had posted one another on social media quite frequently throughout their romance. So, when all of a sudden all signs of him were wiped from her Instagram page a few days ago, Dancing with the Stars fans had a hunch something had happened.
Parrish, who recently starred in Hallmark’s Two for Tee, began posting teasers about her suspected romance with Farber shortly before she officially announced her split from husband Chris Long.
On June 6, the couple attended the Race to Erase MS Gala and spoke to Us Weekly about their new romance. “He just has the biggest heart and is so caring and loving,” Parrish said of her new beau.
Farber seemed equally smitten. He shared, “She is so sweet, down to earth, so loving, so real, and I just feel so much support coming from her side.”
He added, “I feel like no matter what day I’m having, I know when I see Janel, this is where I’m meant to be.”
Parrish competed on Season 19 of Dancing with the Stars, partnering with Val Chmerkovskiy. Farber was not on the cast that season, which aired in 2014, but they still developed a friendship. It wasn’t until this spring that they reconnected, and their friendship turned into more.
“We were friends for years. I did the show and he was my buddy Sash for a very long time, and then we reconnected and here we are,” she told Us Weekly.
She added, “Reconnecting with Sasha has shown me a new kind of love and happiness that I didn’t know existed.”
Dancing with the Stars fans started speculating about the split about a week before People’s breakup confirmation.
One Reddit user commented, “They were doing THE MOST on social media so fast so not too shocked.”
Another added, “This was always going to be how things ended. They were sooooo over the top with the posts about being in love. It was nauseating. You’d have thought it was two teenagers posting about their first relationship, but even then, especially immature ones.”
Someone else noted, “I do wish them the best, and hope they can maintain a friendship. They were good friends for 10+ years.”
