Sharna Burgess and Emma Slater fueled speculation about a possible connection between Hailey Bills and Ezra Frech during a TikTok livestream on the official Dancing With the Stars account. The two former pros, who were eliminated last week, joined fellow eliminated contestant Bills to answer fan questions on Monday night.
When Burgess asked whether viewers wanted to see Frech, Bills replied that they probably did. Slater then turned the question toward Bills, asking how much she wanted to see him. After a brief pause, Bills said she would love to, prompting Slater to tell Frech that Bills wanted to see him.
Frech separately said during the livestream that he was single and focused on dancing. Asked whether he wanted that to change, he reiterated that dancing was his priority for now.
The exchange comes amid reports of a growing closeness between the two contestants. The original report cited a source who told The Sun that Bills and Frech had been spending time together and flirting backstage. Another insider reportedly said cast members and crew had noticed their chemistry and were encouraging them to date.
Neither Bills nor Frech has publicly addressed the dating rumors.
