"Dancing with the Stars” pro Emma Slater is making a shift in her eating habits — and she’s getting some help along the way from her fellow castmate and rumored beau, Alan Bersten. The two, who are currently on the “Dancing with the Stars Live Tour”, have taken on the carnivore diet together while on the road.
Slater opened up about the change in an Instagram post, sharing that she wanted to be more disciplined with her eating. “I found that I was eating a lot of sugar, just due to its availability everywhere,” she wrote. “So I started the carnivore diet.” Slater noted the diet’s effects on her energy levels and cravings, but clarified that it’s a personal journey and not a recommendation.
The post included photos and videos from the tour, showing Bersten cooking alongside her in their hotel room using travel-sized electric pans. “Alan is doing it also and we’ve had to buy travel-sized electric pans — it’s a bit of an adventure!!” she wrote.
Alan Bersten’s Carnivore Journey and Support for Emma
While Slater is just starting her diet journey on tour, Bersten has had success with the carnivore lifestyle in the past. In a 2024 interview with Us Weekly, Bersten revealed that he lost 20 pounds in five weeks by following the diet.
“I’m not preaching it to anyone. I did it myself. I kind of did it under like, just trying not to tell anyone and it completely changed my life,” he said at the time.
Now, Bersten is not only supporting Slater through her own journey, but also joining her in the kitchen as they prepare meals together while traveling from city to city on the tour.
Inside Emma and Alan’s Relationship and Where They Stand Today
Slater and Bersten, who are longtime cast members on “Dancing with the Stars”, were first romantically linked in late 2024. According to previous reports, the two were spotted traveling together to London in December, fueling relationship rumors. They were even seen holding hands on social media. Since then, they’ve shared several moments on social media that suggest their relationship has continued to grow.
Before her connection with Bersten, Slater was married to fellow DWTS pro Sasha Farber. The two tied the knot in 2018, separated in 2022, and finalized their divorce in May 2024. Despite their split, Slater has expressed support for Farber’s relationship with “The Bachelor” alum Jenn Tran. According to reports, she’s called them a “beautiful” couple and has made it clear that there’s no bad blood between them.
As Slater continues her tour and wellness journey, it’s clear she’s embracing this new chapter both personally and professionally — and doing it with plenty of support by her side.
