Pro dancer Sasha Farber made history on Season 23 of Dancing with the Stars. He took a moment on the show to get down on one knee and proposed to pro dancer Emma Slater, and she said "yes." Afterwards, Slater told Good Morning America the proposal on national television was "perfect" because the moment could be seen by her family in England, Farber's family in Australia, and their DWTS "family" present, as the two began dating when they joined the show in 2011.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing. Farber and Slater actually broke up in 2014, after which Slater told Glamour, "I'm always going to be his best friend," and revealed the couple still lived together. They remained friends, and, after rekindling their relationship, Farber and Slater married in 2018. Slater captioned a wedding photo on Instagram, "Best day of my life!"
In 2020, Farber and Slater both became US citizens. Farber commemorated the occasion an Instagram, explaining how DWTS helped his dream come true when he tried out for the show and his "whole life changed." He noted, "I proposed to my beautiful wife ... got married, bought our first house, rescued a dog, made so many incredible memories and so many new friends I call my family here in America, and now I get to call America my home !!! I'm so grateful for DWTS for believing in me and giving me a chance."
