The last night of the Dancing With the Stars live 2025 tour may have ended with a show-stopping performance, but it was the surprise kiss between Emma Slater and Alan Bersten that went down like a leading lady, setting off a flurry of romance rumors that fans can’t stop buzzing about.
Emma, 36, and Alan, 30, two of the franchise’s most popular professional dancers, drove the crowd wild when they kissed during their last duet at the Rosemont Theatre outside Chicago on April 19. The kiss came in the evening’s closing number as the pair danced through a sensual dance, finishing with a smooch no one saw coming.
The screen chemistry between the two pros has always been undeniable whether the cameras are rolling. Through the years, they’ve competed together many times on the ABC competition show and several live tours. But this kiss felt more personal and more revealing. It felt like an organic moment from many years behind the scenes.
Emma and Alan have not commented on the kiss or officially clarified their relationship status. But fans paying close attention to their social media activity think the writing’s been on the wall for months. The two have shared multiple playful and affectionate TikTok videos together, and fans have taken their natural rapport and frequent laughter as indicators that their connection is more than just a friendship.

Adding to the speculation, Alan posted a sentimental message to Instagram that included a carousel of old photos from the tour. One of the photos was a candid shot of him and Emma on the dance floor, faces close, expressions gleeful. Emma, who split from DWTS pro-Sasha Farber just shy of 10 years ago, has remained mum on the dating front. Alan, meanwhile, has had his own share of rumored romances linked to his years on the show, but none have been confirmed in recent years.
The open romance between on-screen partners and off-screen sparks between performers have long captivated fans in the romantic lives of the Dancing With the Stars cast members. But what makes Emma and Alan’s pairing even more interesting is their years-long professional partnership, mutual respect, and history together on the dance floor. It’s a classic friends-to-lovers story that’s hard to root against.
Whether it was a prelude to a new chapter together or a symbolic goodbye to their tour life, this kiss has given the DWTS fandom a new flicker of life. This moment is now a part of pop culture, with clips filling social media and fan edits and comments encouraging them. As for Emma and Alan, they appear happy to let the moment speak for itself for now. But if the crowd reaction is any indication, fans want more than dance moves from this feisty two-pack.
