Paralympic gold medalist Ezra Frech has confirmed that he is single shortly before making his Dancing With the Stars debut, providing an update on a relationship that had previously been familiar to his social media followers.
Frech addressed his relationship status in an Aug. 21 social media video featuring answers to fan questions. When asked whether he had a girlfriend, the 21-year-old athlete responded by shaking his head, indicating that he is not currently dating anyone.
The update came after fans had continued to associate Frech with equestrian Gable Gering. The pair publicly discussed their relationship in a 2024 video, saying they had started dating in 2023.
Frech said Gering’s laugh initially caught his attention, while Gering recalled that Frech was notably outgoing when they first met.
Gering also accompanied Frech to the ESPYs
in July 2025, making the relationship visible to fans beyond their social media appearances.
The circumstances surrounding their eventual separation have not been publicly explained in the material provided, so the reason for the breakup remains unknown.
Frech is now competing on Season 35 of Dancing With the Stars alongside professional dancer Daniella Karagach. The track and field athlete competed at the 2020 and 2024 Summer Paralympics and won two gold medals at the 2024 Games.
