In a recent video posted by Dancing with the Stars professional Sasha Farber, fans got a glimpse of his personal life as he walked viewers through his home, sharing his love for nature and design.
Farber proudly mentioned adding six skylights, which bathe the house in natural light, creating a serene connection between the indoors and outdoors.
He highlighted a cozy corner of his porch, where opening two doors creates a seamless transition to the outdoor area, emphasizing how much he enjoys the “inside-outside” feel of the space.
His love for greenery was apparent as he spoke about the joy he finds in watering his plants, calling it a relaxing activity.
He even introduced his viewers to a “secret garden” he created, playfully adding, “No secrets there.
A Love Story Followed by Fans
Farber’s house, which he kept after finalizing his divorce from fellow Dancing with the Stars pro Emma Slater in 2022, has become a sanctuary for him.
Their split, though amicable, marked the end of a love story that fans of the show had followed closely since they began dating in 2011.
From Belarus to the World Stage
Born in Belarus in 1984, Farber moved to Australia at the age of two and started dancing when he was 13.
His passion for dance quickly became evident as he won the Australian Youth Latin Championships twice and represented the country at the World Latin Championships.
His big break came in 2000 when he performed in the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympics, followed by a stint in the Broadway production of Burn the Floor.
Farber’s rise continued when he joined Dancing with the Stars as a troupe member and later became a professional dancer, partnering with celebrities like Jersey Shore’s Snooki, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, and actress Selma Blair.
A Relationship on Center Stage
Farber’s personal life, especially his relationship with Slater, was a major focal point for fans.
The two had a whirlwind romance, dating from 2011 to 2014 before rekindling their relationship in 2015.
In 2016, Farber made headlines when he proposed to Slater during a live episode of Dancing with the Stars, and they tied the knot in 2018.
However, by 2022, their paths began to diverge.
In a candid interview on the Viall Files podcast, Slater revealed that the couple’s differing views on starting a family played a significant role in their separation.
While Farber was ready to have children, Slater felt she wasn’t yet prepared, leading to their split.
Despite this, Slater expressed that Farber had always been the same person she loved, and their breakup wasn’t due to any personal issues.
An Amicable Separation
The divorce, finalized in May 2024, saw Farber keeping their $2.6 million home, while Slater was awarded four properties, one in Los Angeles and three in Pennsylvania, as well as her 2015 Jeep Wrangler.
Both also retained their personal belongings, including furniture, electronics, and any inheritances they received during their marriage.
Farber paid Slater an undisclosed amount as part of the settlement, and the two agreed not to interfere with each other’s careers on Dancing with the Stars, allowing them to continue working together professionally without any tension.
Slater has publicly stated that working with Farber post-divorce has not been difficult, and they support each other whenever possible.
Moving Forward with Passion and Peace
Farber’s house, with its six skylights and lush garden, represents a new chapter in his life.
After the emotionally charged separation from Slater, it has become a place of peace and reflection.
Balancing his high-energy dance career with tranquility, Farber’s home connects him to nature through a garden and outdoor-inspired spaces.
A Beloved Star on Dancing with the Stars
As Farber moves forward, his passion for dance remains as strong as ever.
Despite the end of his marriage, his professional life continues to thrive, and he remains a beloved figure on Dancing with the Stars.
As fans follow Sasha Farber’s journey from his early dancing days in Australia to his post-divorce life, it’s clear he values both personal growth and professional success.
Recently, Farber and fellow Dancing With the Stars pro-Jenn Tran responded playfully to romance rumors, showcasing their camaraderie amidst the ongoing speculation.
