Two more “Dancing With the Stars” pros are allegedly in a relationship.
Emma Slater and Alan Bersten are “hooking up,” a source told Us Weekly in a report published Wednesday.
The insider claimed that the pair’s romance is “not new, it’s ongoing,” and that they are not an out-in-the-open couple.
The Post has reached out to reps for Slater, 35, and Bersten, 30, for comment.
Fans first speculated that Slater and Bersten were an item earlier this month. A fan shared a picture on X of the professional dancers seemingly holding hands.
In a Reddit thread, one fan claimed, “I’ve been hearing about these two for 3 years so if they ever come out publicly it’s literally the worst kept secret lol.”
Somebody else said, “They’ve been rumored to be dating on and off since the start of covid.”
Slater was previously married to fellow “DWTS” pro Sasha Farber. They started dating in 2011, got engaged during a broadcast of the show in 2016 and then tied the knot in March 2018. Slater filed for divorce from Farber, 40, in February 2023, nearly one year after their breakup.
The exes and Bersten have all been competing on the current season of “DWTS.”
Slater and her partner, actor Reginald VelJohnson, were eliminated on the Oct. 8 episode. Farber and his partner, “The Bachelorette” star Jenn Tran, were sent home on last night’s episode.
Meanwhile, Bersten and his partner, Olympian Ilona Maher, are still in the competition.
There’s also been speculation about Farber’s relationship with Tran, 26. Farber kissed his partner’s forehead at the end of their rumba to “Kiss the Girl” from “The Little Mermaid” last week. Judge Derek Hough then said that he “shipped” the two.
In an interview with Page Six, Farber and Tran jokingly said they’d lean into the buzz about their chemistry if it meant getting higher scores.
“But let’s just say, when he gives us a 10, then we will take that ship,” said Farber.
“We’ll kiss when Derek gives us a 10!” added Tran. “That’s when we will kiss.”
Slater, for her part, was romantically linked to her Season 32 partner, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Mauricio Umansky, last year. They were spotted holding hands on a dinner date during the season, following Umanksy’s split from Kyle Richards, his wife of 27 years.
But after Richards, 55, said she was “hurt” by the cozy pictures of Umansky and Slater, the pair denied that they were “dating” and clarified that they were just “good friends” in an October 2023 Instagram video.
Two months prior, Slater appeared on Nick Viall’s “Viall Files” podcast and said that having kids was the reason behind her split from Farber.
“We’re just at potentially two different places. But the hard part was that the love actually didn’t go [away],” Slater said on the podcast. “It’s really the kid thing. It’s interesting because I do want to have kids. I just don’t want to delay Sasha’s path in having kids because I know that he is ready for that.”
It’s not unique for “DWTS” pros to find love on the show.
Married pros Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson, Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd, and Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov are all still together.
