Parrish, 37, and Farber, 42, made their social media debut as a couple on 27 April after teasing their fans with glimpses of their connection on TikTok weeks prior. Their first hint came on 9 April, when Parrish jokingly referred to their chance encounter in a parking lot.
Before this romantic chapter began, Parrish participated in the 19th season of the popular competitive dance show, “Dancing with the Stars”, in 2014, where she was paired with Val Chmerkovskiy. Farber, while not competing that season, was part of the professional dance troupe, allowing the two to form a friendship that would later evolve into something more.
In an interview with Us Weekly, Parrish expressed how the pair reconnected after years of friendship. “I did the show and he was my buddy Sash for a very long time, and then we reconnected and here we are,” she stated, shedding light on their journey from friends to partners.
Their relationship blossomed in the wake of Parrish’s split from her husband, Chris Long, in early April, after seven years of marriage. The actress and Long had married in 2018, following a year-long engagement. Their divorce marked a significant change in Parrish’s life and opened a new chapter with Farber, whose previous relationships also made headlines.
Farber previously dated Jenn Tran, a contestant on the Bachelorette, with whom he shared an on-screen partnership during season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars.” Their relationship lasted nearly a year, ending in June 2025. Before that, he was married to his DWTS co-star Emma Slater from 2018 until 2022. Slater initiated divorce proceedings in early 2023.
Throughout their brief relationship, Parrish shared affectionate sentiments about Farber, calling him “such a light” and praising him for his positive energy. Speaking at the Gold Gala in Los Angeles, she fondly described the dancer as someone who brings “so much love and light and positivity” into the world. She also highlighted his culinary skills, noting how he would prepare elaborate meals for her after long filming days.
The couple made their official red carpet debut on 5 June at the 33rd Annual Race to Erase MS Gala in Los Angeles, where they coordinated their outfits, showcasing their joy as a couple to the public. Their appearance marked an exciting moment in their relationship, just a month after they had gone Instagram official.
As of now, neither representatives for Parrish nor Farber have commented on the reasons behind their breakup. Fans of both the actress and the dancer are left wondering what prompted the end of this romantic journey after such a short time together.
Despite the end of their relationship, both Parrish and Farber have had colourful histories in the entertainment industry. As they move forward, their paths may diverge, but their experiences from this chapter could shape future endeavours both personally and professionally.
