Farber, 41, took to Instagram to commemorate the month of April, describing it as “amazing” alongside several photos featuring Parrish, 37. The post included affectionate snapshots of her kissing him on the cheek, which subtly confirmed their romantic connection. Additionally, there were glimpses of their everyday life together, including a picture of Parrish cozily draped with her dog at the dinner table and another of her enjoying a sauna session.
Parrish echoed Farber’s sentiments regarding their blossoming relationship, responding with an enthusiastic comment on his post, confirming, “Yes it has 🤍👑.” Fans were quick to celebrate this union, having eagerly followed the duo’s journey from friendship to romance.
The very public unveiling of their relationship follows the recent news of Parrish’s separation from her husband, Chris Long. The couple, who were married for seven years, had reportedly parted ways earlier in the month. Parrish and Long tied the knot in 2018 after a year-long engagement, but reports suggest that they have now moved on.
Hints of a budding romance between Farber and Parrish first surfaced on April 9 when Parrish shared a TikTok video of the two dancing playfully together. The actress humorously remarked that they had “run into” each other in a parking lot. Their on-screen chemistry became further evident with another TikTok video published on April 21, where Farber gave Parrish “salsa lessons,” followed by a promotional dancing clip from Farber the very next day.
In a further sign of their growing connection, Farber was seen visiting Parrish on the set of her upcoming film, an engagement that once again delighted their followers when he shared the moment in a TikTok on April 24.
Before this newfound romance, Farber had a previous relationship with Jenn Tran, a contestant from “The Bachelorette.” They dated for almost a year before their split in June 2025. Farber also has a history with Emma Slater, another of his co-stars from “Dancing with the Stars.” The couple was married from 2018 until 2022, after which Slater filed for divorce earlier this year, marking a chapter of upheaval in Farber’s personal life.
With this latest turn of events, both Parrish and Farber appear to be navigating their new romance with a sense of joy and enthusiasm, much to the delight of their fans. Social media interactions and dance videos are likely to remain a staple of their relationship as they take this next step together.
The union of these two talented individuals not only garners attention due to their public personas but also showcases the intersection of dance and romance, a theme familiar to viewers of “Dancing with the Stars.” As they embark on this new journey, fans are eager to witness what the future holds for the dancing duo.
