Dancing With the Stars’ Emma Slater and Alan Bersten Fuel Romance Rumors With Onstage Kiss
Dancing With the Stars‘ Emma Slater and Alan Bersten kissed onstage on the last night of the show’s live tour, fueling dating rumors. Watch the video and find out what their colleague said.
Dancing with the Stars pros Emma Slater and Alan Bersten just took a major quickstep closer toward confirming those romance rumors.
The two kissed on the lips while performing their final dance duet on the final night of the series’ live 2025 tour. The crowd cheered as Emma, 36, and Alan, 30, locked lips onstage as they closed the show at the Rosemont Theatre near Chicago April 19.
The longtime colleagues, who shared humorous videos featuring both of them on their TikToks earlier this month, have not commented on the kiss or the nature of their relationship. However, Alan did include a photo of his and Emma’s final dance in a tour roundup post on his Instagram.
Many fans have speculated for several months that the pair, who have danced together many times on the ABC competition series and on the franchise’s tours in past years, were dating. And one of the performers’ colleagues helped fuel the dating rumors even further.
“FINALLY,” fellow DWTS pro Ezra Sosa, who also performed on the tour, commented on a fan’s video of Emma and Alan’s onstage kiss, which was posted on TikTok with the caption, “pov you have a front row seat to the greatest hard launch of all time.”

One day earlier, Ezra also raised fans’ eyebrows when shared a video of himself and fellow DWTS pro Gleb Savchenko appearing together backstage at one of the venues. He captioned his TikTok, “When we’re the only single guys on tour.”

Emma and Alan’s onstage kiss comes more than two years after she filed for divorce from fellow DWTS pro dancer Sasha Farber—who was not part of the 2025 tour—after four years of marriage.
Amid their separation, the former couple continued to work together on the show, including on the most recent 33rd season, which also included Alan.

“It’s not a nightmare at all,” Emma exclusively told E! News in October 2023 about competing against her ex on season 32. “We support each other so much that I want the very best for Sasha.”
She added that they even continue to collaborate professionally. “I’ll help him with his dance and he’ll help me with my dance,” she noted. “We do that, all us pros together. I don’t feel that competition at all with him.”
Later that month, Sasha also spoke out about his relationship with his ex. “We’re very professional,” he exclusively told E! News alongside his dance partner Alyson Hannigan. “We are great friends. In times like these you say, ‘Thank you for the beautiful memories,’ and you gotta move on.”
