DWTS Star Emma Slater Said Parenthood Was To Blame For Her Sasha Farber Split

Emma Slater and Sasha Farber got engaged on an episode of “Dancing With the Stars” in 2016. They got married in 2018. According to E! News, Slater filed for divorce in February 2023 and the documents said they separated in April 2022. Both dancers still compete on “Dancing With the Stars,” but there does not seem to be any tension or awkwardness there.

“It’s not a nightmare at all,” Slater told E! News in October 2023. “We support each other so much that I want the very best for Sasha. I love him and Alyson [Hannigan] together on the show. We support each other, very, very truly.” The dancer also said that all the professional dancers on the competition show help each other out so, “I don’t feel that competition at all with him.”

Farber seems to be in a similar mindset. When the divorce news broke, Farber shared a statement on his Instagram Story that said, “Things in life don’t always work out, but it’s important to be thankful for the good times and great memories, be strong and keep moving,” with a broken-heart emoji (via ABC News).
