Kaitlyn Bristowe is further fueling rumors that Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber are more than just friends.
“[Jenn] and Sasha are dating, for sure,” Bristowe, 39, speculated during the Thursday, October 31, episode of her “Off the Vine” podcast, which had been filmed weeks earlier. “I should just ask them because I’m friends with both of them.”
Bristowe explained that she had recently been talking on the phone with Farber, 40 — whom she called one of her “good friends” — and asked about his connection to Tran, 26.
“I was like, ‘Well are you just loving your partner and time with Jenn?’ He was like, ‘I really am,’” Bristowe recalled. “He was really hyping her up and I was like, ‘Is there flirty vibes?’ He goes, ‘It’s dancing, there’s always flirty vibes.’”
Jenn Tran’s Brother Makes Cheeky Comment About Sasha Farber Rumors
Bristowe joked that the Dancing With the Stars pro was being “defensive” about his relationship status with Tran before pointing out that cohost Julianne Hough asked about their chemistry. DWTS season 33 cast member Chandler Kinney, who was a guest on the episode, told Bristowe that “they’re really asking a lot about it.”
“I’m like, ‘OK, give them some space. Let them breathe,’” Kinney, 24, said, to which Bristowe replied, “Not me. I’m not letting them breathe. I’m like, ‘Are you dating?’”
Bristowe — who won the Mirrorball Trophy during season 29 with partner Artem Chigvintsev — joked that she wanted more from their performance during Disney Night, where Farber planted a kiss on Tran’s forehead rather than locking lips.
“He kissed her on the forehead and I was like, ‘Lame!’” Bristowe said, before gushing that Farber and Tran “would be so cute together.”
DWTS’ Ezra Sosa Fuels Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber’s Dating Speculation
Rumors about a romance sparking between the twosome began swirling after Tran uploaded a TikTok in September where Farber referred to her as “babe.” The pair continued to fuel speculation throughout their time on the show, which came to an end during the Halloween episode in October.
Following their elimination, Tran shared a TikTok showing up at Farber’s door, where the pair embraced. “Private rehearsals starting ASAP,” she wrote.
“When one door closes another door opens,” Tran lip-synced in the video. “We so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones that open for us.”
DWTS judge Derek Hough expressed his support for the duo in the comments section, writing, “I give this a 100. Happy for you two 
.” DWTS pro Ezra Sosa added, “I ship it,” before uploading the same sound to his page.

“I’ve been [shipping] the wrong couple this whole time 
,” Sosa captioned a clip of Tran and Farber, seemingly referring to Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko. (After Us Weekly confirmed in September that Nader, 28, and Savchenko, 41, were “hooking up,” their romance fizzled the next month.)
Despite their elimination, Farber and Tran have continued to post on social media together. In a sweet Instagram post on Sunday, November 3, Tran paid tribute to Farber with a montage of clips from DWTS.
“From our first rehearsal to our last @sashafarber1,” Tran captioned the clip, which was set to Taylor Swift’s “Long Live.” Her brother, James Tran, took to the comments section to write,
“When’s the wedding rehearsal? 
.”
