The Timeline Points to Romance
This salsa video marks the second public appearance of Parrish and Farber together in just two weeks.

The frequency and intimacy of these posts suggest a deliberate pattern of sharing moments together. Parrish replied in Farber’s comments: “Thanks for dancing with me as I laughed in your ear very loudly,” which adds a playful, comfortable tone to their interaction.
Janel’s Fresh Start Comes at Perfect Timing
TMZ reported earlier this month that Parrish separated from her husband Chris Long after eight years of marriage. The Pretty Little Liars star and Long married in 2018 but called it quits this April. Now single, Parrish appears to be embracing new connections in the dance community.

He was married to Emma Slater from 2018 to 2024 and recently dated Bachelorette star Jenn Tran from 2024 to 2025. Now at 41 years old, Farber appears ready to go public with Parrish.
