A Whirlwind Romance: The Jenn and Sasha Relationship Timeline

The connection between Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber was arguably one of the most talked-about storylines of *Dancing with the Stars* Season 33, especially given the dramatic context of Jenn's recent public breakup.

The DWTS Spark (September 2024)

Jenn Tran joined the DWTS cast just days after her very public and shocking split from her *Bachelorette* winner, Devin Strader. The timing immediately fueled speculation. She was partnered with Sasha Farber, a fan-favorite pro known for his charismatic routines and recent high-profile divorce from Emma Slater. Their on-screen chemistry was instant and palpable, with many viewers noting the undeniable connection during their performances.

Confirming the Romance (Early 2025)

Despite their elimination in the competition, the pair continued to spend significant time together. Jenn, who lives in Miami for her Physician Assistant studies, reportedly relocated temporarily to Los Angeles and was staying at Sasha's house for several months after the show wrapped. This cohabitation and constant presence on each other's social media led fans to believe the relationship was serious. In early 2025, the couple officially confirmed they were dating, much to the delight of both Bachelor Nation and DWTS fans.

The Quiet Split (Mid-2025)

The romantic bubble burst in mid-2025. Sources close to the couple confirmed that Jenn and Sasha had split after nearly a year together. The news, broken by outlets like TMZ and People, indicated the breakup was amicable. Despite the end of their romance, the two confirmed they would continue to be good friends, a common outcome for DWTS partnerships that turn romantic.

The Real Reasons Behind Jenn and Sasha’s Breakup

While the official word is that the split was mutual and amicable, several factors likely contributed to the end of the *DWTS* romance. These elements are common challenges for celebrity couples, especially those with demanding careers and bi-coastal lives.

1. The Miami-Los Angeles Long Distance Challenge

The most significant hurdle was the geographical distance. Jenn Tran is committed to her career path as a physician assistant and is based in Miami, Florida, for her schooling. Sasha Farber's professional life as a DWTS pro is centered in Los Angeles, California. The logistics of maintaining a serious, long-term relationship across the country, especially with their demanding schedules, ultimately proved too difficult to sustain.

2. Different Life Stages and Future Goals

At 27, Jenn Tran is focused on completing her education and establishing her medical career, while also navigating her new life in the public eye. Sasha Farber, at 41, is a veteran professional dancer who was recently married and is reportedly ready for a more settled life. The difference in their life stages—one building a foundation, the other looking for stability—may have created a fundamental misalignment in their long-term goals. One source noted that Jenn is "young and probably not ready to completely settle down yet," while Sasha is "ready for" a more permanent commitment.

3. The Post-DWTS Reality Check

The intensity of *Dancing with the Stars* often creates a unique, isolated environment where powerful bonds form quickly. This "DWTS bubble" can make a relationship feel more serious than it is in the real world. Once the season ended, Jenn returned to her PA studies, and Sasha returned to his professional commitments, forcing them to transition their intense, daily partnership into a normal, long-distance relationship. This shift from the ballroom fantasy to the everyday reality likely cooled the romance.

What’s Next? Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber’s New Chapters

Both Jenn and Sasha are moving forward, focusing on their careers and personal lives following their mid-2025 split.

Jenn Tran: Back to School and Dating Again

Jenn Tran has fully immersed herself back into her physician assistant studies in Miami. She has also been open about re-entering the dating pool, telling fans, "I'm Not NOT Dating." In the months following her breakup with Sasha, the Bachelorette alum has even teased a "soft launch" of a new romance on social media, suggesting she is happy and moving on. Her priority remains her medical career, but she is clearly open to finding love again on her own terms, outside of the reality TV spotlight.

Sasha Farber: New Professional Challenges

For Sasha Farber, the focus has shifted to his professional dance career, though he is facing some changes. Reports in late 2025 suggested that Sasha would not be returning to *Dancing with the Stars* Season 34, a surprising development for the longtime pro. While this has not been definitively confirmed by the network, the rumors suggest he may be exploring new projects and professional avenues outside of the ABC ballroom. Whether he returns for future seasons or pivots to choreography and other television opportunities remains to be seen. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber have confirmed they remain on good terms and "still chat every now and then." Their brief but passionate romance serves as another reminder of the intense, yet often short-lived, connections that form in the unique world of reality competition television.
