She emphasized that their relationship is strictly platonic, describing them as “great friends” and clearly stating, “Not dating.”

In fact, Farber clarified to Erin Lim Rhodes on E! News’ The Rundown that he isn’t romantically involved with Bristowe (“Definitely no hard launch there”) or with host Julianne Hough.

He elaborated during the exclusive interview, “I’ve known Jules for many years.” Their recent poolside dance session was simply one of their many friendly get-togethers. “We were just discussing life,” Farber said, adding, “Jules is incredible. We frequently exchange life advice.”

Although he hasn’t yet met his next significant other in real life, numerous Dancing With the Stars pros and celebrity contestants have found love amid the ballroom spins and twirls. (It’s worth noting that he proposed to his former wife, Emma Slater, on live television in 2016 and had a will-they-won’t-they dynamic with his season 33 partner, Jenn Tran, in 2024.)

Meanwhile, potential season 34 champion Robert Irwin is still searching for someone who is “genuinely kind.” Those interested can present their case to his dance partner, Witney Carson. Many DWTS participants have left the stage with more than just the coveted mirrorball trophy.

As this season heads toward its grand finale, see which pairs are still in step.
