Alan Bersten Is Going to 'Keep It Professional' with Emma Slater But Says He's 'Enjoying Life' After That Onstage Kiss
Alan Bersten is planning to 'keep it professional' with Emma Slater after hard launching their relationship last month. The Dancing with the Stars pros kissed at the end of their dance and finally confirmed their romance after months of fan speculation during their final performance on the DWTS: Live! 2025 tour on April 19. The 30-year-old professional dancer told E! News that the pair are 'just enjoying life together' following the viral moment, adding, "No pressure there, but we're just enjoying it."

I'm just excited for season 34." Despite Bersten keeping the focus on the ballroom, Dancing with the Stars host Alfonso Ribeiro previously told PEOPLE that "there was no surprise" amongst the show's cast about Slater and Bersten's "connection." The "launch" of the relationship was a surprise, however, he told PEOPLE. "Emma's my sister and she's at my house several times a week. So, clearly, my household knew what was going on. We just didn't know that they had made the decision to launch," he said at Disney's Get Real event in Los Angeles on April 22. is now available in the Apple App Store!

"When people find something that they enjoy — enjoy it, live it. Why live a lie?" The launch also made sense given the "rumors were out there" already about a potential connection between the dancers, as Ribeiro noted. "I think that people were already [speculating]." Ribeiro wasn't the only one in the DWTS family cheering on the couple.

Emma Slater and Alan Bernsten Seemingly Confirm Relationship Rumors with Steamy Kiss During 'DWTS' Tour
Emma Slater and Alan Bersten just ended their tour with a bang! The Dancing with the Stars pros wrapped DWTS: Live! 2025 on Saturday, April 19. During their final performance together, the pair appeared to confirm their relationship — after months of romance rumors — with an onstage kiss. DWTS fan Callie Justine captured the steamy and unexpected moment at the closing performance in Rosemont, Ill. She dubbed the kiss between Slater, 36, and Bersten, 30, 'the greatest hard launch of all time.' In the TikTok clip, the duo can be seen dancing together — smiling as they stare into each other's eyes and swirling around the stage — before pausing briefly to share a smooch mid-routine.

'Not to be dramatic but watching this live made my entire life,' the TikTok user captioned the video. Though many DWTS fans are interpreting the kiss as a hard launch, the pros, who have worked side by side on the reality competition series for years, have yet to officially confirm their romance. Bersten did, however, share a picture of the pair's explosive final routine — not their actual kiss, but an intimate shot of them staring at each other during the dance — in his tour round-up post on Instagram. Reps for both Slater and Bersten did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Sunday, April 20.
