Michelle Obama's Big Day Out
Trevor Donovan isn’t a fan of internet trolls, especially when it comes to his former “Dancing with the Stars” partner. Donovan appeared on Season 31 of the dancing competition where he was partnered with dancing professional Emma Slater. The two faced constant relationship rumors, but the “90210” star denied all the gossip. Donovan told US Weekly, “We’ve had a few weeks of getting to know each other to become friends and break down that wall and be comfortable with it.”
The season after Donovan left, Slater got a new celebrity partner but the same romance rumors. Gossip circulated that the “DWTS” professional and her Season 32 partner, Mauricio Umansky, were dating. Knowing a thing or two about this, Donovan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to call out all the gossip about Slater and Umansky. “Many don’t understand the intense pressures of #dwts, the exhaustive nature of the rehearsals, and the stress of the show night performance,” he wrote. “Because of all this, Emma and I grew very close during our partnership, and we are still close today. I guess some will always see drama where there’s none.” Umansky had just announced his separation from Kyle Richards, which didn’t surprise people, so rumors ran rampant about him and Slater. However, he consistently denied any romantic link between them, making it clear that Donovan was firmly in his and Slater’s corner.
