Sasha Farber seems unfazed by the ongoing claims that his ex-wife, Emma Slater has a natural chemistry with Trevor Donovan.
During a recent interview with Us Weekly, Farber gushed over Slater and Donovan’s partnership and said that the actor is one of the dark horses in Dancing With the Stars this season.
Farber pointed out how Donovan has been saying that he’s scared to dance, but he seems to be doing well every single week.
“There are definitely dark horses and Trevor came in this competition being afraid to dance. That’s, like, the main thing you wouldn’t do if you’re afraid to dance, is doing a dance show. And he’s firing on all cylinders. He’s doing phenomenal,” he said.
Following the premiere episode of Dancing With the Stars Season 31, Slater also gushed over Farber’s partner, Selma Blair, who suffers from multiple sclerosis.
The actress was able to perform her first routine with Farber, and she also impressed the judges and fans with her ability to rise above her personal struggles.
Slater admitted that watching the routine made her cry. And it also served as proof that Slater and Farber will continue to root for each other even after they announced their divorce.
But what has been making headlines, even more, was the online rumors about Slater and Donovan’s chemistry. During a live episode of Dancing With the Stars, host Alfonso Ribeiro asked the couple if their chemistry was real or just acting.
Slater admitted that she was taken aback by the question. But it was Donovan’s response that shocked her and the fans.
“If you’re really doing a good job acting, it all comes from the truth, so there’s something real in every performance,” he said (via Screen Rant).
As of late, Slater and Donovan have not confirmed or denied that there’s something going on between them. But it’s not uncommon for dance partners to develop feelings for each other.
Years ago, Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Bella developed feelings for each other after they competed on the show. So, it would be exciting where Slater and Donovan’s chemistry would take them.
But it is also important to note that Slater and Farber just announced their divorce in August so it might still be too early for one of them or both to fall in love.
