"Last week, some things were said. I’m in a place where, we worked so hard for this amazing journey together, and I’m afraid I will mess that up in some way. But I’ve never had an experience like this. It’s so easy to just hang out with you and have fun and not worry about everything else. I know that you put yourself out there last weekend, and I do have feelings for you. And I really feel like I am falling for you."
In reply, Alexis is seen saying:
"After I opened up last week, I felt a little bit embarrassed. But now that we had this talk this week, I feel really good that everything’s out in the open.”
During another episode, Bersten was heard saying sweet things about Alexis Ren, where he said:
Alexis’ smile lights up the room. You know, she’s funny, she’s kind, she has a huge heart. I want to be 100 percent certain before I tell her how I’m feeling. I have a lot to think about.”
The couple dated for a short time, and eventually broke up by the end of the season due to conflicting schedules. They continued to remain on good terms even after their relationship ended, according to US Weekly.
Apart from this, Alan Bersten was also rumored to be dating fellow Dancing With The Stars alum Paige Vanzant back in 2016, although neither of them confirmed their relationship.
