Chemistry Sparks Between Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber on *Dancing with the Stars*
The latest Disney Night episode of *Dancing with the Stars* featured an intriguing dynamic between participants Jenn Tran and her partner Sasha Farber. Observations from show judges and host suggest a budding chemistry between the two, adding an exciting layer to their performances.
During this week’s episode, which celebrated Disney classics, Tran, 26, and Farber, 40, took to the dance floor to perform a rumba set to the beloved song “Kiss the Girl” from *The Little Mermaid*. Their dance captivated the audience and judges alike, leading to some playful commentary regarding their apparent connection.
As their performance concluded, Farber shared a charming moment with Tran, kissing her gently on the forehead—a nod to an iconic scene from the animated feature that resonated with viewers. Judge Derek Hough humorously expressed his support by stating, “Is it weird for me to say that I ship this?” hinting at the chemistry he and others had noticed.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba praised their routine, calling it their “best dance” of the season. As they awaited their score, Julianne Hough chimed in with a teasing remark about Farber’s finishing touch. “But first, a kiss on the forehead? Sasha, come on,” she said, to which Farber defended the gesture by describing it as “elegant” and “classy.” Tran light-heartedly added, “He got nervous,” further showcasing their playful rapport.
Julianne also questioned whether the chemistry between Tran and Farber had an impact on their partnership. Tran confirmed its importance, stating, “Absolutely. I mean, I think if we didn’t have such a good relationship, like our dancing would be totally off. We trust each other so much. We know each other so well. So that’s why this works so well.”
Prior to the episode, Tran shared glimpses of their rehearsal process through a TikTok video where the duo enjoyed a leisurely outing at Echo Park Lake. Tran joked about their paddleboat excursion resembling a “one-on-one” date from *The Bachelorette*, further highlighting their burgeoning connection.
On another occasion, Tran reflected on their working relationship, emphasizing Farber’s supportive nature. “He really just pushes me to be my best. But he also is very, very caring. He’s such a compassionate guy,” she remarked in an interview, underscoring the balance of encouragement and kindness she experiences while working with him.
As the competition unfolds, viewers will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on the relationship dynamics between Tran and Farber alongside their performances. *Dancing with the Stars* broadcasts weekly on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, with episodes available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
