Emma Slater and Alan Bersten Spark Relationship Buzz with Onstage Kiss During DWTS Tour

Emma Slater and Alan Bersten just wrapped up their tour in style!

The dynamic duo from 'Dancing with the Stars' concluded their run with DWTS: Live! 2025 on Saturday, April 19, and they certainly left fans buzzing. During their final performance, the pair appeared to confirm the swirling rumors about their relationship with a surprise kiss on stage.

DWTS enthusiast Callie Justine caught the steamy moment on TikTok, dubbing it “the greatest hard launch of all time.” In the clip, Slater, 36, and Bersten, 30, can be seen dancing together, exchanging smiles and gazes as they twirled around the stage. The kiss came as a delightful surprise, with Bersten’s arm wrapped around Slater’s waist and hers around his neck, prompting cheers from the audience before they seamlessly returned to their routine.

“Not to be dramatic but watching this live made my entire life,” the TikTok user captioned the video, perfectly capturing the excitement of the moment.

While many fans are interpreting the kiss as a clear sign of romance, the two have yet to officially confirm their relationship status. However, Bersten did share a snapshot from their electrifying final routine on Instagram, featuring an intimate moment of them gazing into each other’s eyes, though it wasn’t the actual kiss.

As of Sunday, April 20, representatives for both Slater and Bersten had not responded to requests for comment regarding their relationship.

Before this apparent romance, both Slater and Bersten had their fair share of relationships within the DWTS family. Slater was previously married to fellow pro Sasha Farber until 2023. The couple, who famously got engaged on the show in 2016 and tied the knot in 2018, separated in August 2022, with Slater filing for divorce in February 2023. Their legal separation date was officially recorded as April 1, 2022.

Despite their split, Slater and Farber continued to work together on DWTS, with Slater stating that their professional relationship remained strong. “It’s not a nightmare at all,” she told E! News months after the divorce filing. “We support each other so much that I want the very best for Sasha.”

Meanwhile, Farber is rumored to be dating Jenn Tran, a contestant from The Bachelorette, with whom he was paired during season 33 of DWTS. Tran, 27, recently mentioned to PEOPLE that they are “not in any rush to define anything or put anything out there.”

On the other hand, Bersten previously dated model Alexis Ren, whom he partnered with during season 27 of DWTS. Their relationship ended in 2018, but it seems both pros have moved on and are now exploring new connections.

As the dust settles from their tour, fans are eagerly awaiting any updates from Slater and Bersten regarding their relationship. The chemistry they displayed on stage has certainly left a lasting impression, and many are hoping for more glimpses into their blossoming romance.

With the excitement surrounding their onstage kiss and the ongoing speculation about their relationship, it’s clear that Slater and Bersten have captured the hearts of DWTS fans everywhere. Whether they choose to confirm their romance or keep it under wraps, one thing is for sure: their performances will continue to be a highlight for audiences.

As the world of dance continues to evolve, the connection between these two talented pros adds an intriguing layer to the already captivating realm of 'Dancing with the Stars'. Fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on their journey, both on and off the dance floor.
