Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrew's friendship is grooving on.
The former "Dancing with the Stars" co-hosts reunited over drinks eight months after they were abruptly let go from the ABC series.
Bergeron documented their catch-up by sharing a photo alongside the Fox Sports sideline reporter on Thursday.
“Reunited & it feels so good with @erinandrews,” the 65-year-old captioned the photo of the pair sipping cocktails at a restaurant. Andrews responded by adding the comment, "Having sack after tequila after sack after tequila!!!"
The 42-year-old reposted the same photo to her own Instagram account, captioning her post, “Always something in the works.”
Bergeron later shared another photo with his arm wrapped around his former "Dancing" co-star, saying, “This reunion deserves another post 🥰 (with @erinandrews).”
“Love u,” Andrews commented along with three champagne emojis.
In July 2020, Bergeron and Andrews exited "Dancing With the Stars" and were replaced by Tyra Banks just before season 29. After the casting changes, ABC and BBC Studios announced in a joint statement that the show was taking “on a new creative direction."

At the time, Bergeron tweeted that he was “just informed @DancingABC will be continuing without me,” while Andrews wrote that she “will always cherish my days on that set.”
“DWTS” executive producer Andrew Llinares later responded to backlash over the decision, stating “I think it’s all about evolution. I think any show like this that has been on many, many seasons needs to continue to evolve,” he told reporters during ABC’s VirtuFall panel in September 2020.
“I think changing the host was all about evolution. It was about making the show feel fresh, making it feel new [and making] it reach out, maybe, to a new audience as well as the audience that’s been there for years.”

Bergeron had hosted the competition series since its launch in 2005. In 2010, Andrews was a contestant on the 10th season of the show and four years later joined as co-host.
ABC has yet to announce details on a possible 30th season of "Dancing with the Stars."
