Alan Bersten and Emma Slater have been 'DWTS' colleagues for many years.
Bersten and Slater have been longtime colleagues on the hit competition show. Though their relationship might be in the beginning stage, Slater isn’t a stranger to dating her DWTS costars.
The dance professional was married to DWTS pro Sasha Farber from 2018 to 2023 after getting engaged in 2016. The former couple reportedly divorced because of “irreconcilable differences.”
Slater later revealed on an episode of the “Viall Files” podcast that the pair ended their marriage due to different timelines about having children.
Emma Slater and Sasha Farber divorced because she didn't want kids at the same time he did.
“It’s interesting because I do want to have kids; I just don't want to delay Sasha’s path in having kids because I know that he is ready for that. I don't want to talk about him too much because that’s really for him to say, but it’s about kids,” she explained.
“So, that’s been the real friction and the real hard part,” she added. “It had nothing to do with him. He’s always been very much himself. It’s me that’s found it difficult to understand why I’m feeling different.”
