The closest Sasha has come to winning is in Season 26 with former figure skater Tonya Harding and in Season 28 with singer Ally Brooke — both duos finished in third place during their seasons.
Sasha and Emma dated on and off before getting engaged in 2016.
Sasha and Emma first met in 2009 on Broadway's Burn the Floor. By 2011, the two confirmed they were dating; however, after three years of dating, the pair broke up in 2014. Nevertheless, the couple reconciled shortly after. Eventually, the lovebirds got engaged after Sasha famously proposed during a live DWTS broadcast in October 2016.
In March 2018, Sasha and Emma were married in Los Angeles in front of 180 guests consisting of family, friends, and plenty of DWTS cast members and former dance partners. Thereafter, the two kept their romance low-key; however, they both took to Instagram in December 2020 to announce they obtained American citizenship.
"I’ve dreamed of this day ever since I was a little boy in Russia watching blockbuster movies," Sasha wrote on Instagram.
He continued, "I came to America to try out for a show called [Dancing with the Stars], and my whole life changed: I proposed to my beautiful wife [Emma Slater] on the show, got married, bought our first house, rescued a dog, made so many incredible memories and so many new friends I call my family here in America, and now I get to call America my home!!!"
"I’m so grateful for DWTS for believing in me and giving me a chance," Sasha concluded. "WE ARE OFFICIALLY CITIZENS!!! Now it’s time to bring my mum and dad over to be with us."
