The video features Farber, aged 41, humourously complimenting Slater, 37, by declaring, “Your ex-husband is soooo attractive.” To which Slater cheekily responds, “But you’re my ex-husband.” The pair’s affectionate exchanges are underscored by Farber sliding on a pair of sunglasses, adding to the fun.
Slater’s caption accompanying the video drew attention as she addressed those who may struggle with the idea of maintaining a friendship with an ex-partner. “If you can’t handle that exes can be mature and can be friends, I’m sending you love and positive vibes but I also know it’s not my problem to solve,” she wrote, highlighting her growth and emotional healing since their split.
The public reaction to their TikTok moment has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the couple for showcasing a healthy dynamic post-separation. One commenter remarked, “Love this! You’re poster children for mature separation from relationships that no longer served,” while another noted the importance of being able to move on amicably. Slater responded with a simple, enthusiastic “🙌🏻,” reflecting her appreciation for the supportive words.
Emma Slater and Sasha Farber’s romantic journey began in October 2016 when Farber proposed during a live taping of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ after several years of dating. The pair married two years later, only to announce their separation in 2022. Slater formally filed for divorce in February 2023, an event she later discussed in depth on the ‘Viall Files’ podcast.
During her podcast appearance, Slater revealed that the couple’s differing opinions on having children were a significant factor in their decision to part ways. “It’s really the kid thing,” she explained, adding that she does want children but was hesitant to delay Farber’s own aspirations. “I don’t want to enter into something that I’m not sure about because I would never do that,” she asserted, highlighting her contemplation over the serious subject.
Over the years since their separation, both Slater and Farber have continued to support one another personally and professionally. Their commitment to maintaining a cooperative relationship is evident, particularly as they both remain integral to the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ family.
In a recent display of mutual support, Farber congratulated Slater on her relationship with fellow dancer Alan Bersten, expressing joy for her achievements. Slater shared a heartfelt tribute to Bersten during the show’s season finale, referring to him as a “pure champion” and recognising their efforts. Farber’s comment on her post, simply stating “Congrats guys,” reflected his ongoing encouragement for both Slater and her new relationship.
As they navigate their post-marriage lives, the former couple serves as a testament to the notion that amicable breakups are not only possible but can also pave the way for supportive friendships. Their ability to move forward, while still cheering for one another’s successes, challenges the conventional narrative surrounding divorces and ex-partner dynamics.
Both Slater and Farber have proven that it is feasible to maintain a constructive and friendly relationship even after a romantic connection has ended. Their TikTok clip has undoubtedly resonated with many, offering a humorous yet profound commentary on maturity and friendship in the wake of a breakup. For fans of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and those invested in their story, the duo continues to be an inspiring example of how love can evolve into a respectful bond, exhibiting positivity and camaraderie amidst personal change.
