Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber aren’t happy with those showmance rumors — as long as it means adding to the score!
During Tuesday’s Disney Night on “Dancing With the Stars,” Tran, 26, and Farber, 40, performed a rumba to “Kiss the Girl” from “The Little Mermaid,” ending the routine with a sweet kiss on the forehead.
While receiving criticism from the judges, Derek Hough spoke about his chemistry as Ariel and Prince Eric, admitting that, like many viewers, he was “shipped” by the two.
However, the professional dancer, 39, gave only 8 out of 10 for the performance – like Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, resulting in a total combined score of 24/30.
When asked about Hough’s comments, Farber jokingly told Page Six that she and her dance partner would consider her opinion if it meant they would stay a little longer.
“It’s so funny,” the Australian-American dancer said with a smile. “But let’s just say, if they give us 10, then we’ll take the ship.”
Tran then doubled down on her partner’s proposal.
“We’ll kiss when Derek gives us a 10!” the former “Bachelor” lead joked. “That’s when we’ll kiss.”
However, the six-time mirrorball champion is not the only one of the Hough family who seems to “ship” partners.
After the dance, host Julianne Hough (Derek’s sister) pressed Farber about his decision to kiss Tran on the forehead instead of the real deal.
“But first, a kiss on the forehead? Sasha, come on,” Julianne joked, to which she replied, “Elegant, classy.”
Meanwhile, Tran interrupted, joking, “He’s nervous.”
However, the former Bachelor Nation star agreed that her “chemistry” with Farber “really” made a “difference” in her routine.
“I mean, I think if we don’t have a good relationship, it’s like our dance will stop,” Tran said.
“We trust each other very much. We know each other very well. That’s why this works so well.
Like the Houghs, many fans on social media have gone crazy over their partnership this season and are speculating if they could be more than just dance partners turned friends.
Farber split from fellow pro Emma Slater in February 2023 and the couple finalized their divorce a year later.
Tran, for her part, met her love during her season of “The Bachelorette” with Devin Strader – only for him to call off the engagement shortly after leaving the show.
The reality TV star joined “DWTS” just days after the emotional finale aired and previously told Page Six that it has been a healing experience.
Although Tran’s romance with Strader was short-lived, she has since been linked to Jonathon Johnson, who placed third in her season. The two have been spotted spending time together as Tran continues vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in Los Angeles.
“Dancing With the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
