Janel Parrish Shares Birthday Message to ‘Absolute Best’ Sasha Farber Amid Romance: ‘My Love’

Pretty Little Liars and Hallmark star Janel Parrish is showering her new beau, Sasha Farber, with lots of love on his 42nd birthday amid her divorce from estranged husband Chris Long.

“Happy Birthday to my love @sashafarber1 👑,” Parrish, 37, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, May 9, alongside a slew of loved-up pics featuring the happy couple. “You bring joy and light to everyone who meets you. The world is a better place because you exist.”

She continued, “Everyone go give him some birthday love because he’s the absolute best.”

Farber reposted Parrish’s heartfelt tribute to his Instagram Stories, adding rose and heart emojis.

Farber and Parrish were first romantically linked last month amid her separation. Parrish and Long, 41, called it quits earlier this year after seven years of marriage.

“Thank you all for the incredibly kind and supportive messages, they’ve truly meant the world,” the actress wrote in a social media statement on April 10. “After 10 beautiful years together, including seven years of marriage, Chris and I made the difficult decision to end our marriage.”

Parrish continued, “There is still so much love and respect between us, and I’m deeply grateful for everything we built together. This chapter of my life, and Chris, will always mean so much to me. Thank you all again for the messages of love and support.”

Parrish and Long jointly filed for divorce on April 28, agreeing on spousal support, division of property, legal fees and their official date of separation.

Since her separation, Parrish has moved on with Farber. (The duo first met when Parrish competed on Dancing With the Stars season 19 in 2014 with pro Val Chmerkovskiy. Farber danced in the troupe that year.)

“April has been amazing ❤️🌹,” Farber captioned PDA pics on April 27.

Days later, Farber gushed that footage of the couple dancing made him feel like “the luckiest man in the world.”

“My 🤍🤍🤍🤍👑,” Parrish replied.

Farber and Parrish have continued to share glimpses of their blossoming romance via social media.

“Dinner with the best view in the house ❤️,” he wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 4, sharing a pic of Parrish.

Farber was previously married to fellow DWTS pro Emma Slater from 2018 to 2023, since remaining on amicable terms.

“We really are close friends,” Slater, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly in 2024, detailing her status with her ex-husband. “He’s somebody who’s in my life forever. It’s a true genuine connection and he’s the best person, just absolutely amazing. We just get on really, really well.”

Slater is now in a relationship with fellow DWTS star Alan Bersten.
