Kaitlyn Bristowe isn't shy about the truth. After Dancing With the Stars pro Sasha Farber shared a sizzling dance video from his home, she set the record straight on their relationship status with a candid confession to Entertainment Tonight on November 11, during a guest appearance at the 20th anniversary show. "I didn't see the reactions, were people going, 'Hard launch,' or something?" she mused. "Sasha and I are very good friends."
"And every time I come to L.A., I hang out with him and see him," she added. "So, we always dance together." As for the sultry number being a hard launch, she was quite clear about it. "We're great friends," the 40-year-old said. "I love him so much. And we're not dating."
Sasha, 41, and the DWTS season 29 champion—who won the show with partner Artem Chigvintsev—left the internet buzzing after they shared a clip of their intimate dance practice. In the video, shared on Sasha's Instagram on November 4, Kaitlyn spins into Sasha's arms as he dips her. The video ends with Sasha and Kaitlyn laughing as they fall out of the frame and onto the floor. Alongside the seductive clip, Sasha wrote, "Stay forever @kaitlynbristowe."
The brief moment was enough to send the internet into a frenzy, including some of Sasha's DWTS family who took to the comments to share their thoughts. Reacting to the video, Peta Murgatroyd wrote, "Ummmmm ok." Former pro Sharna Burgess also questioned if the moment was Sasha and Kaitlyn's way of telling the world they were official, writing, "Ohhhhh I absolutely thought this was a hard launch. (Is it? It is right? Please tell me it is!!)"
Indeed, while the internet questioned Sasha and Kaitlyn's status, she quickly shared what brought her to his home in the first place. "Stay forever he says as he kicks me out 5 mins later. Jk," she quipped. "Thanks for the dance lessons and FEAST."
While Sasha—who was last linked to season 33 partner Jenn Tran—isn't romantically involved with Kaitlyn, he has been vocal about watching his ex-wife Emma Slater's romance blossom with fellow pro Alan Bersten. "Definitely not awkward," Sasha said about the pairing during a TikTok Live in October, adding of his ex, "I'm really happy for her and Alan and I wish them nothing but the best." "Things don't always work out in life," he continued. "There's no point to ever have any hate toward anyone because, what's the point? So you thank each other for your incredible time you had together—because the time that we did have was amazing—and you move on, and you wish the other person nothing but the best."
