Yahoo Lifestyle Jenn Tran Says It Was 'Physically Impossible Not to' Feel Something with Sasha Farber on “DWTS”: He'd 'Make a Great Boyfriend'
Tran also predicted that her former 'Dancing with the Stars' partner would be a "great dad" in the future
Jenn Tran is shedding more light on her Dancing with the Stars partnership and adoration for Sasha Farber.
During an appearance on Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey, the former Bachelorette, 27, admitted that she thinks Farber, 40, would “make a great boyfriend” after the pair sparked romance rumors following their time on the ABC dance competition series.
After host Harry Jowsey noted the pro dancer also makes him “so happy,” Tran responded, “He's so sweet.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, Tran admitted she and Farber “just hit it off and it was fast friends” after being partnered on season 33 of DWTS.

Jenn Tran“We were just really good friends for the longest time,” she said. “Still a really great friend.”
Tran admitted that she found dancing to be “so intimate,” adding, “It is physically impossible not to somewhat feel something, you know? Whether you're in a relationship or not, you're gonna feel some type of way about somebody getting close in your face, touching you in places that maybe only like you're…”
“I'm saying touching… your waist and stuff like being handled in that way is something only really in previous experiences a boyfriend would do,” she continued. “And so when you're intimate like that with someone who you're not used to yet, and someone who is your dance partner doing their job. To them, it's nothing because it's their job, right? But for us normal people were like, ‘Whoa, do you like me? Like, why are you touching me like that?’”
She concluded, “So I think it's a really close intimate environment and things can happen.”

“I love his couch. It's very comfortable. Very comfortable couch,” she teased. “Listen, he needs a dog walker and I'm walking his dogs for him.”
Tran also discussed the possibility of having a family in the future and opened up about the type of father Farber would be.
“I just feel like it's so much responsibility,” she said of having children. “Personally, for me, I'm not ready. But, I do want a family so badly. I think that's one of life's greatest gifts is to have your own kids.”
When Jowsey, 27, noted that Farber would be “the perfect dad,” Tran agreed, saying, “He'd be a great dad.”
Speculation about a romance between Farber and Tran — who plans to return to school to become a physician assistant — began after sparks appeared to fly between them on stage and social media over the course of the DWTS season. The pair nearly shared a kiss during the season 33 finale. Since then, the duo have continued to spend time together including at Thanksgiving, her birthday celebration, and a Taylor Swift concert.
Prior to the rumors, Tran ended her engagement to Devin Strader while Farber was previously married to fellow DWTS pro Emma Slater. They divorced in 2023.

Tran also addressed the split from Strader on the podcast, calling it a “ blessing in disguise.”
After admitting that she was “butt hurt” over the split, she noted, “I'm not like, ‘Oh my God, like that was the end of everything’ because obviously so many doors opened for me and I'm so happy now.”
“It was such a blessing in disguise and I wouldn't have known,” she continued. “And honestly if he didn't break up with me, I don't know if I would have broken up with him ... I would have been with him forever. And like, the way he was treating me because for me, once I make a promise to someone, I'm very loyal. So like I don't know. It would have been bad, so I'm happy that he broke up with me.”
