"Sasha and I are very good friends," continued the former Dancing with the Stars champion.
"Every time I come to L.A., I hang out with him and see him. We always dance together. I didn't know it sent people into a [tailspin]."
Sasha, 41, had uploaded an Instagram video on November 7 of the pair dancing in his kitchen.
Sasha was twirling Kaitlyn around to the beat of "Kiss Me," and at one point, Kaitlyn leaned into Sasha for an embrace.
The pair smiled and then Sasha fell on Kaitlyn, which resulted in them both tumbling to the floor.
"Stay forever @kaitlynbristowe," Sasha captioned his post.
Kaitlyn commented, "Stay forever he says as he kicks me out 5 mins later. Jk. Thanks for the dance lessons and FEAST."
The video raised eyebrows, even from members of the Dancing with the Stars family.
"Ummmmm ok," DWTS pro Peta Murgatroyd wrote.
DWTS pro Sharna Burgess chimed in, "Ohhhhh I absolutely thought this was a hard launch [eyeballs emoji]. Is it? It is right? Please tell me it is!!"

Kaitlyn is widely believed to be dating The Bachelorette 16 alum Zac Clark, who was previously engaged to Tayshia Adams.
Kaitlyn, however, has yet to confirm her relationship with Zac.
"Privacy is so hot, like, I am turned on by being private. There's something really special and sacred about it," Kaitlyn told Us Weekly in August.
"Obviously, I had two very public relationships, and I'm an over-sharer and an open book, and it's very hard to not share certain things of my life, but it feels so right."
Kaitlyn was previously engaged to The Bachelorette 11 winner Shawn Booth followed by The Bachelorette 14 alum Jason Tartick.

Kaitlyn thought she had found The One in Jason afterwards. The former couple got engaged in May 2021 but broke up in 2023.
"Relationships from [The] Bachelor franchise or people online, like, it starts to feel a bit performative at times," Kaitlyn explained to the magazine.
"I feel like that was where it was going for me last time, and it did not feel good. This time around, I'm like, 'Look, I just turned 40. I am in the best place of my life in every aspect -- personally, professionally, spiritually, in a good place, and protecting my peace can come with some privacy.' And I'm into it."
For Sasha's part, he was married to Dancing with the Stars pro Emma Slater, who was just eliminated from Season 34 with her pro partner Andy Richter on Tuesday night's show.
Emma filed for divorce from Sasha in February 2023 after four years of marriage, but they've apparently been able to stay friends post-divorce.
