Sasha Farber Hard-Launches Janel Parrish Romance on April 27
Sasha Farber made his janel parrish relationship public on April 27, posting an Instagram photo dump that included several snaps of the pair. The first image showed Parrish kissing Farber on the cheek as he smiled at the camera, ending weeks of speculation in one post.
Farber captioned the post, "April has been amazing," and the timing mattered because rumors had already been building across his social media. Parrish had earlier appeared in a TikTok dance clip with Farber, and he replied, "She’s still got it @janelparrish," before the couple shifted from hinting to open display.
April 27 Instagram post
One April 27 post did what several teasing posts could not: it put Farber and Parrish in the same frame, on the record, and in public view. For a pair whose names had been circulating for weeks, the photo dump functioned as the cleanest possible hard-launch, with the cheek kiss doing the work of a press release without the paperwork.
The sequence matters because the couple had already moved through a public breadcrumb trail. Parrish was spotted in an April 16 Instagram post that prompted fan speculation, and Farber’s response was joined by Gleb Savchenko, who wrote, "So happy for you bro." That earlier post made the April 27 reveal feel less like a surprise than a formal end point.
Emma Slater’s response
Emma Slater reacted in public, and she did it fast. Under Farber’s April 27 post, she wrote, "Love this!!!!!!!" and added hearts and heart-eye emojis, a concise sign that the reaction inside the Dancing with the Stars circle stayed friendly even as Farber’s personal life moved into a new phase.
That response carries extra weight because Slater was married to Farber from 2018 to 2024, and the two have remained friends since their split. Farber had already described dancing beside Slater and Alan Bersten last October as "Definitely not awkward," adding, "I’m really happy for her and Alan and I wish them nothing but the best."
Parrish after April 10
Janel Parrish had her own relationship news on April 10, when she said in an Instagram Story that she and husband Chris Long had been together for a decade and married in 2018. She wrote, "There is still so much love and respect between us, and I’m deeply grateful for everything we built together," which explains why the April 27 reveal landed after a week of renewed attention around her personal life.
The practical takeaway is simple: Farber and Parrish are no longer at the rumor stage. Their public posts now establish the relationship as part of the same social-media ecosystem that has shaped the discussion around Farber’s past and present ties, and Slater’s response suggests the cast-side fallout is limited to curiosity, not conflict.
