Sasha Farber fuels dating buzz with Janel Parrish in cosy Instagram post

Sasha Farber appears to have quietly confirmed a new romance with Janel Parrish, just days after she announced her split from husband Chris Long.

The 41-year-old Dancing with the Stars professional sparked speculation after posting a cosy Instagram snap on Thursday, showing him relaxing at home with a mystery brunette woman and his two dogs. 

The woman had her back to the camera as she sat at a piano, while Sasha lounged nearby in a relaxed setting.

He captioned the post: “It’s the small things in life.”

Fans quickly flooded the comments, convinced the pair had just gone public. 

One wrote: “Not that little. Is this a hard launch??” while another added: “Omg omg omg if this is a hard launch or soft I’ll take it!! You deserve so much happiness.” 

A third chimed in: “You deserve this and so much more Sasha…as does this beautiful woman.”

Social media sleuths were also quick to point out that the mystery woman’s arm and back tattoos appear to match those of 37-year-old Pretty Little Liars star Janel. 

Some users even claimed Janel briefly commented on the post with white heart and crown emojis before deleting them.

The pair were already fuelling rumours earlier in the week after dancing together in a playful Instagram video filmed in the middle of a street at night. 

Sasha captioned it: “She’s still got it @janelparrish,” to which Janel replied: “Thanks for dancing with me as I laughed in your ear very loudly.”

For the unversed, Janel married chemical engineer Chris Long in Hawaii in 2018, but announced their separation on April 10, saying they had made the “difficult decision” to end their marriage after 10 years together, while insisting there remains “so much love and respect” between them.
