Alan Bersten Shares Sweet Message to Girlfriend Emma Slater After Her 'DWTS' Elimination

Alan Bersten posted a message of pride for girlfriend Emma Slater after her exit from Dancing With the Stars season 35. On Tuesday, October 27, Bersten, 32, shared an Instagram tribute reading that Slater “brings the absolute best out of everyone,” adding that partner Jackson Olson “really shined.” Slater, 37, had been eliminated with Olson in a double elimination alongside Tyler Cameron and pro Sharna Burgess. The week featured a Horror Movie-themed performance where the duo danced to Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life,” scoring 35 of 40 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli and guest judge Shirley Ballas. Bersten previously left the show in September with Giada De Laurentiis. Slater and Olson’s elimination came after a demanding schedule that included Savannah Bananas games.
