Janel Parrish and Sasha Farber are red carpet official — and feeling the love.
“He is like the sweetest, most brightest light to everybody that he meets,” Parrish, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, June 5, while attending the Nancy Davis’ Race to Erase MS Gala sponsored by L’Agence. “He [has] the kindest heart to everyone, to his friends, his family or if he just met you walking his dogs. He just has the biggest heart and is so caring and loving.”
Parrish and Farber, 42, twinned in white while making their red carpet debut at the event, held at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
“She is so sweet, down to earth, so loving, so real, and I just feel so much support coming from her side,” Farber added to Us on Friday, referring to his girlfriend. “She’s just so supportive and wonderful. She loves animals, she loves dogs [and] she loves everyone who she meets.”
He continued, “They always leave with a smile on their face, and I feel like no matter what day I’m having, I know when I see Janel, this is where I’m meant to be.”
Parrish and Farber started dating in April, months after the Pretty Little Liars actress separated from ex-husband Chris Long. (Parrish and Long, 41, finalized their divorce on Monday, June 1.)
“We were friends for years,” Parrish told Us, noting she met Farber when she competed on Dancing With the Stars season 19 in 2014. “I did the show and he was my buddy Sash for a very long time, and then we reconnected and here we are.”
Parrish was partnered with pro Val Chmerkovskiy on DWTS, where they finished in third place. Farber, who was dating ex-wife Emma Slater at the time, performed in the troupe.
Parrish and Farber unexpectedly reconnected earlier this year following their respective divorces. (Farber and Slater, 37, settled their divorce in 2023 before she moved on with fellow DWTS pro Alan Bersten.)

“You never know where life is going to take you. Reconnecting with Sasha has shown me a new kind of love and happiness that I didn’t know existed,” Parrish mused on Friday. “I think that those are some of the most beautiful and exciting things in life, and sometimes it’s the most unexpected things that can be the most beautiful things.”
For Parrish, she’s fully embracing her new chapter after getting divorced.
“[I’m] living in the present and just being grateful every day that I wake up and I get to do what I love with people that I love,” the Hallmark actress told Us earlier this month. “We don’t know what the future brings, and I am just trying to really stay in the present and follow what makes me happy and follow my joy, and that’s been bringing me so much happiness.”
