Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten are officially heading to the Dancing with the Stars finals!
Just before the semi-finals, the 21-year-old model held a Q&A with fans on her Instagram Stories and reflected on her experience on the show.
“I really appreciate how much effort you’ve made in supporting me. It’s really showed my I can do anything I put my mind to, and just how strong I really am,” she wrote.
Alexis added that she’s “proud of myself for how vulnerable I have been while being under the spotlight and because of that I connected to so many amazing people.”
Now that she’s in the finals, Alexis also has a chance to win the mirrored-ball trophy on her birthday!
“I don’t wanna get my hopes up too much, but omg, that would be insane. Even being in the finals would be the best gift,” she wrote just a few days before the semis.

Alexis Ren has not just one, but TWO, broken ribs right now.
The 21-year-old model opened up about her injuries with ET after the latest episode of Dancing With The Stars this week, and just why she’s downplaying them.
“I fractured another one. I drove myself to the hospital being like, ‘It’s fine. I’m fine,’†Alexis shared. “The doctor came and laughed at me, like, ‘I don’t know how you did it. You did it again.’”
If you missed it, Alexis broke her first rib just a weeks ago and says that she doesn’t want her injuries to take away from her performances with Alan Bersten.
Alan also opened up about getting praises from head judge Len Goodman for their dances.
“It’s very nice to hear from Len that Alexis had one of the best dances of the night, especially because Samba is so hard,†Alan shared.
Alexis added, “It’s the hardest dance I’ve learned.”

Bruno Tonioli added, “You two are a match made in samba heaven.”

Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten have sealed it with a kiss!
Just last week, the 21-year-old model admitted that she had developed real feelings for Alan, 24; and on tonight’s episode of Dancing With The Stars, the relationship was highlighted again – this time by them sealing it with a kiss.
“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,” Alan shared in the video.
He continued, “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.â€
After the chat, the couple shared a romantic kiss.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Alexis and Alan as a couple – YAY or NAY?
Did you know Alexis Ren suffered a fractured rib ahead of her and Alan Bersten‘s Halloween Night performance on Dancing with the Stars last week (though they still received an impressive 27 out of 30 score)?
The model opened up about the injury in a recent interview.
“It kind of sucks, but it’s fine, I have just been icing it every night and stretching it and doing what I can,” she told ET. “There is nothing you can really do for a fractured rib other than just bear through it.”
“I have been doing a much more conscious job of making sure that we don’t do anything that could affect the rib,” Alan added. “Not many big bends to the left, cause that’s where it hurts, and no tricks. But we can’t really do tricks in samba anyways.”
For the upcoming Country Night, the duo will be doing a samba to a live performance of Lauren Alaina‘s “Ladies in the ‘90s.” They’ll also take part in a Team Dance set to “Country Girl†by Luke Bryan.
Alan revealed that their costumes will be “more modern country, like popstar country. I am going to go with the cowboy hat just cause I love a good excuse to wear a cowboy hat.”
“I’m wearing cowgirl boots,” Alexis shared. “I tried them on and they’re cool.” Alan chimed in, “There might also be flannel involved.”
Alexis and Alan also addressed their budding feelings for each other.

Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten have finally admitted they have some feelings for each other – but that doesn’t mean they’re a couple just yet.
If you missed the video package leading into their dance on last night’s DWTS, Alan said Alexis‘ confession was a bit of a lot to handle.
“Sitting next to Alexis on the couch and her telling me how she feels, my emotions were all over the place,†he shared. “You know, it was a lot to take in…I want to be 100 percent certain before I tell her how I’m feeling. I have a lot to think about.â€
After their performance, the two were keeping mum on what that meant for the future, but that knowing the feelings are there helped them perform.
“We’re more open with each other and we trust each other a little bit more. We can just have fun and not have to worry about hurting each others feelings as much,” Alan told ET. “And, to be honest, the transparency is what makes it easier.”
