But today, the couple is grieving. On Instagram last night, Sasha announced that he lost his cousin. The two were very close.

“This hurts beyond words, and never in a million years did I think I would be writing a post like this about my little cousin,” the DWTS pro began his post. “Andrew and I came to Australia as little kids, and you could say we where partners in crime. Everywhere he went I went, & everywhere I went he went. I remember one day Andrew called me to come outside, He picked me up and he said I have a surprise for you, we drove to a private airport, where I soon realized I was going to be his first passenger on a 4 seater plane. He was so excited I’ll never forget it.”

Sasha went on to talk about how much his cousin Andrew loved planes and how much he lit up a room.
