Sasha Farber and Jen Tran: The Couple Everyone’s Talking About
Let’s be real—Dancing with the Stars has always delivered the drama and the iconic moments, but this season is on a whole new level. Sure, at the start, everyone was obsessed with Brooke Nadot and Gleb Savchenko, but after their elimination in Week 4, rumors of a breakup started circulating. While we don’t know all the details yet, one thing’s for sure: the focus has quickly shifted to Sasha Farber and Jen Tran.
This duo has taken over social media in a way we haven’t seen before. Their TikTok's and Instagram posts are everywhere, and it’s easy to see why. Sasha and Jen have the kind of energy that feels real—playful, fun, and incredibly natural. The internet is buzzing, trying to figure out if they’re just friends or something more. I’m rooting for them to be a couple because their chemistry is undeniable. There’s just something about watching them together—they have this effortless connection, and you can tell they genuinely get each other. If these two end up together, it will be one of the cutest DWTS couples in history.
The content Sasha and Jen put out together feels so authentic. It’s like watching your favorite couple from high school who just vibe with each other—nothing forced, just pure, unfiltered chemistry. Their fun, lighthearted energy makes you feel like you're right there with them, and that’s exactly what we all love about social media: feeling connected to the stars we watch on TV. Though they were eliminated in week 7 the two have been seen hanging out together attending movie premieres and making tik toks including Sasha teaching Jenn to jive dance due to her never having the opportunity to perform one on the show. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for these two!
Ezra Sosa: From Troupe to Pro and now to TikTok Star
Ezra Sosa is another standout this season. He’s a new pro on Dancing with the Stars, but most fans have known him since Season 30 when he began his time in the troupe. What sets Ezra apart, though, is his TikTok presence. His videos—whether he’s dancing, sharing his thoughts, or giving behind-the-scenes glimpses of life on the show—have earned him a massive following. He’s also got this hilarious, low-key vibe that makes him super relatable, which is a big part of why his content is blowing up. He interacts with fans by replying to comments and interacting with his cast members on their pages showing support and having his co-star's backs.
Ezra’s dynamic relationship with his best friend, Rylee Arnold (yes, the sister of DWTS pro-Lindsay Arnold), is also a major highlight. The two have been creating content together that’s as entertaining as it is adorable. Watching them play off each other, whether in rehearsals or on TikTok, is like seeing a real friendship unfold in front of our eyes. And if you haven’t caught any of Ezra’s TikToks with his sister yet, you’re missing out—they’re full of sibling banter and pure comedy.
The way Ezra and other pros have embraced social media this season is changing the DWTS game. Fans now get a backstage pass to everything: the rehearsals, the choreography, and even the fun moments off-stage. It’s like we’re part of the DWTS crew, and that kind of connection is exactly what makes this season so engaging.
Social Media Is a Game-Changer for DWTS Engagement
Dancing with the Stars has always been known for its theme nights, but this season, the themes are next-level. Whether it’s Disney Night, “Memories” Night, or something else, the producers are tapping into what fans want to see. I’m a huge fan of “Memories” Night. The emotional backstories behind the performances allow the stars to express themselves in a more personal way, and it makes their dances feel more meaningful.
But what’s elevated this season is how DWTS has leaned into social media.TikTok, Instagram, and behind-the-scenes content have allowed fans to connect with the dancers and celebrities in a way that’s never been possible before. Seeing the pros share their rehearsal clips, funny moments, and even their thoughts on the competition makes the show feel more accessible and personal. It’s not just about watching the performances anymore—it’s about getting to know the people behind the moves.
As the competition heats up, the stars are starting to show their growth—not just in terms of dance skills, but in how they communicate through movement. The first few weeks are often more about mastering the steps, but as the season progresses, we see the stars bring more of themselves into their routines. And with social media being so prominent, fans can see that growth in real-time, making it even more satisfying to watch.
Why This Season Feels Different
Dancing with the Stars has always had its moments, but this season feels like it’s really tapped into the way we consume entertainment today. We want the behind-the-scenes access, the raw moments, and the connections between the dancers. It’s not just about the flashy routines or the mirrorball trophy anymore—it’s about the relationships, the personalities, and the journey. And thanks to social media, we get to be a part of it.
From Sasha and Jen’s undeniable chemistry to Ezra’s rise as a TikTok star, this season has brought fresh energy to DWTS. It’s clear that the show is evolving with the times, and fans are responding in a big way. DWTS has received a record-breaking number of votes each week this season to determine who remains on the leaderboard. Whether you’re watching the performances or following the pros on TikTok, this season is one you won’t want to miss. So if you've missed the past few weeks catch up on Disney + and watch the Finale on Tuesday, November, 26 at 8 EST and 7 CST.
