After dancing across the country on the Dancing With the Stars Live tour, Emma Slater and Alan Bersten spent some quality time together in New York City.
Slater, 36, cheered on Bersten, 30, as he competed in the 2025 RBC Brooklyn Half marathon on Saturday, May 17. “We did it!!!! My first half marathon! That was so hard! My official time was 1:38:43!” Bersten captioned Instagram snaps of himself posing for post-race pics with pal Danny Lawn and Slater. “Shout out to all these incredible runners. So proud of you @dannydlawn and I’m so happy @theemmaslater was here to support me!!”
Slater was a proud girlfriend at the event, even holding Bersten in her arms for a funny photo. Bersten posted another sweet photo of himself and Slater via Instagram the following day, writing, “My whole life people have always put me in a box, told me what I can and can’t do. And people have told me ‘I’m just a dancer’. I wanted to show everyone what I already know is true. That dancers are athletes too, and you truly can do anything you put your mind to!”
Slater shared the snaps of herself holding Bersten via her own Instagram on Saturday and wrote that she was “proud” of him.
Emma Slater Reveals Which ‘DWTS’ Cast Member She Misses The Most
Following some downtime, the pair attended The Outsiders musical on Broadway. The duo got to the theater just in time, as Slater quipped in a Monday, May 19, Snapchat video that they had “one minute until the show starts.”
She and Bersten also managed to snap a selfie together at the show, which she later shared via Snapchat. “Snap gets the good stuff,” she jokingly wrote alongside the pic. “Sshhhh don’t tell anyone.”
After seeing the Tony Award-winning show, Slater and Bersten topped off the night by grabbing a delicious meal, complete with cheesecake, mousse and profiteroles for dessert.
Slater and Bersten’s NYC trip marks one of their first major outings together since Us Weekly confirmed they were “hooking up” back in October 2024. “[The romance is] not new, it’s ongoing,” a source exclusively shared at the time.
Bersten previously sparked a showmance with his DWTS season 27 partner, Alexis Ren, in 2018, which they ended that same year. He was later linked to season 31 contestant Gabby Windey in 2023, though the pair never officially dated.
Slater, for her part, tied the knot with fellow DWTS pro Sasha Farber in 2018. They called it quits after four years of marriage in August 2022. Slater filed for divorce in February 2023, and the terms were finalized shortly after.
Last month, Slater and Bersten celebrated the end of the DWTS tour by sharing an onstage kiss during their final show in Illinois. Bersten reacted to the smooch going viral in an exclusive interview with Us, sharing, “We’re just enjoying life.”
He added, “It was an incredible tour and I’m sad that it came to an end. But also there are so many good moments.”
