  • 109. When Jenn Tran Met Sasha Farber
    Jan 22 2025

    Sometimes rejection is just redirection. Jenn Tran’s whirlwind year took her from an unknown physician assistant student to Bachelor contestant, to the star of The Bachelorette, to a devastating broken engagement on live TV. But then ABC producers knocked on her dressing room door with an offer to join Dancing with the Stars.


    Paired with pro dancer Sasha Farber, Jenn quickly learned ballroom dancing as fans picked up on their natural chemistry. But it wasn’t until after their elimination, when they began posting daily TikToks, that Mel found herself fully swept up in this new ship.


    Join us as we dive into Jenn and Sasha’s adorable, blossoming love story and chat about the connection between dance and falling in love.

    Dreams. Go Your Own Way. Silver Springs. The Chain. These iconic Fleetwood Mac hits from the legendary Rumours album capture the emotional highs and lows of the tumultuous breakup between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

    • Their early days as the duo Buckingham Nicks.
