Emma Slater Throws Support Behind Boyfriend Sasha Farber While Taking Break From 'Dancing With The Stars'

JJJ is going to be honest here — we were sad not to see Emma Slater‘s name on the pro list for Dancing With The Stars‘ upcoming 22nd season.

But we’re sure that we’ll see her all the time on the show — because boyfriend Sasha Farber is back as a pro!

Emma wrote on Instagram to her fans about her break, “Hi everyone! I am now able to tell you that I will be taking a break from season 22 of Dancing With The Stars. Although I will miss my brilliant fellow dancers, I will be watching and cheering for them still. I know it’s going to be a great season, as it never fails to be so big congrats to all the cast and crew :) Thank you to all you guys who support me and show me love on social media! You mean the world to me and I can’t wait to share with you all what’s next! Big love! xoxox.”

She added later, in support of Sasha and his celeb partner, Kim Fields, “My amazing boyfriend is going to kill it this season!! I’m so excited for this! @sashafarber1 you deserve this so much, no one compares to you in my eyes. And @kimfieldsofficial is the perfect partner for you! Woohoo Good luck to both of you guys, you got this! Hope everyone will join me and support Kim & Sash!”
