There are no hard feelings between Emma Slater and her ex Sasha Farber.
Slater, 34, shared that being a pro dancer alongside Farber, 39, on Dancing with the Stars is “not a nightmare at all” more than six months after she filed for divorce.
“We support each other so much that I want the very best for Sasha,” she told E! News. “I love him and Alyson [Hannigan] together on the show. We support each other, very, very truly.”
The television personality admitted both she and Farber step in to help choreograph dances for their respective season 32 partners, Mauricio Umansky and Hannigan, despite vying for the mirror ball against each other.
“I’ll help him with his dance and he’ll help me with my dance. We do that, all us pros together,” she added. “I don’t feel that competition at all with him.”
Slater’s comments come less than two months after she detailed the reason for their split on Nick Viall’s Viall Files podcast.
“We’re still like family, so it isn’t really like the love is not there, it’s actually not that at all,” she said in August. “We’re just at potentially two different places. But the hard part was that the love actually didn’t go [away].”
“It’s really the kid thing. It’s interesting because I do want to have kids, I just don’t want to delay Sasha’s path in having kids because I know that he is ready for that. I don’t want to talk about him too much because that’s really for him to say, but it’s about kids.”
She continued: “I do want kids. I don’t know what it is, I’m just figuring that out for myself. It’s not something I take lightly and I don’t want to enter into something that I’m not sure about because I would never do that.”
Slater further explained that she and Farber had conversations about family planning throughout their time together but she felt a “resistance” in the time before their breakup.
“So, that’s been the real friction and the real hard part,” she said. “It had nothing to do with him. He’s always been very much himself. It’s me that’s found it difficult to understand why I’m feeling different.”
The couple wed in 2018 after years of dating. Their engagement happened during a live taping of DWTS in October 2016. News broke of their separation in August 2022, though the legal date of separation was April 1, 2022.
In February, Slater filed for divorce from her husband of four years, citing irreconcilable differences, according to the divorce petition obtained.
“Emma and Sasha still remain close,” a source close to the couple told at the time. “There’s no bad blood between them.”
Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+.
