Jenn went on and on about how she's so grateful for Sasha, who apparently healed her wound after her breakup with The Bachelorette 21 winner Devin Strader.

But Sasha replied in the comments with an eyebrow-raising message to Jenn.

"Ohhh, thank you, you blossomed into a beautiful dancer, hope we can remain friends and stay in contact!" Sasha wrote.

Sasha also added the prayer hands emoji and the raising hands emoji to his post.

Sasha's remark sparked a little bit of an outrage considering many Dancing with the Stars fans thought the couple was dating or at least hooking up.

But Sasha noted that he "hopes" they can "remain friends and stay in contact," which makes it sound like their clearly platonic relationship may not even last in the long run.

Sasha's comment racked in another 400-plus comments from disappointed and confused followers of the pair.

"You better be JOKING," one person wrote.

"Friends?!" one fan questioned.

"Well this wasn't the response I was expecting," wrote another Instagram user.

Clearly shocked by Sasha's "stay in contact" request, a fourth person commented, "Please say it's more than just friends!"

Jenn, meanwhile, had gushed about how she had the experience of a lifetime with Sasha on Dancing with the Stars' 33rd season. Their run on the show ended during the Halloween-themed broadcast.

"[My dancing journey was] truly something I'll cherish for the rest of my life!" Jenn gushed in her post about Sasha.

"But my experience on dancing with the stars was only so unbelievable because of you! Every day for the past three months I've had the biggest smile on my face and my heart because you've brought light back into my life when I thought the clouds would be suffocating me."

After The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose featured Devin showing no remorse or regret for having dumped Jenn in a brief phone call shortly after their engagement, ABC announced Jenn as a last-minute casting addition for Dancing with the Stars on September 4.

"September 4 was indescribable. The pain I felt has left a scar but you were the one who helped heal a wound you didn't make," Jenn recalled.

"Thank you for being who you are and for pushing my limits day after day. Thank you for choreographing beautiful pieces for me and for putting up with me in all the times I was down on myself."

Jenn continued, "Dancing requires so much confidence and self security that honestly I'm still working through but the comfort you exuded allowed me to break barriers."

Jenn proceeded to rattle off a list of all the things she's going to miss doing with Sasha, who let Jenn crash on his couch for weeks after they got eliminated from Dancing with the Stars.

"I will miss driving to rehearsals together every day, dancing in the living room and performing with you. This experience has been the most sensational, remarkable, and life changing and I would do it with you ten times over again," Jenn shared.

"Because of you I was able to find a love for dancing and now I can't even imagine my life without you! I am so immensely grateful you've come into my life and now will you please teach me an Argentine tango soon thank you! Xoxo your forever dance partner!!!! Everyone give @sashafarber1 his flowers."

Rumors have been swirling for over a month that Jenn and Sasha are dating.

In a TikTok video last month, Jenn called Sasha "honey" and asked him to teach her a birthday dance.

And Sasha wished Jenn a happy birthday by writing a sweet message on Instagram.

Alongside a video of Jenn's fancy strawberry dessert at a restaurant, Sasha wrote, "You have been nothing but a joy to work with, your dedication and hard work, is a testament of the person you are!"

"You always make me laugh when I'm down and say don't worry it's going to be ok," the pro dancer and choreographer continued.

Sasha added, "U made me realize that life is one big dance and we can dance through it together !! You have such a bright future ahead of you and I'm so excited for you!!! Let's all go and wish @jenntran a happy birthday."

Jenn also recently teased fans about her "private rehearsals" with Sasha post-Dancing with the Stars, and former The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe insisted in a late October "Off the Vine" podcast episode that Jenn and Sasha were "for sure" dating at the time.

Jenn compared her Dancing with the Stars exit to going through another breakup, after her split from Devin, in the same year.

"I felt like I broke up with dancing and I didn't know if it was going to take me back or not," Jenn shared in a November 16 TikTok video.

"It is kind of like breaking up with somebody because you're in constant contact with them every day, and then the next day you're not. It's like an [immediate] ghost -- nothing. Dancing ghosted with me."

Jenn went on to joke about how she was going through a "midlife crisis for a hot second" after her Dancing with the Stars departure.

"Honestly, I'm not going to lie. I was maybe being dramatic slash I really just loved being on the show so much, so it was really hard to go from literally dancing every day all the time to suddenly the next day not dancing," Jenn said.

Jenn admitted in November she'd "love nothing more" than to get on the road with the Dancing with the Stars cast and travel for the tour 68-city tour next year.

"How fun to go on tour with your boyfriend?" Tish Cyrus asked Jenn during an episode of the "Sorry We're Cyrus" podcast, referring to recent Jenn and Sasha romance rumors.

"Oh, god," Jenn replied. "If you say boyfriend, he's going to freak out."

But Jenn later confirmed she was not invited on the DWTS tour.
