Jenn Tran & Devin Strader

Status: Split

During the dramatic season 21 finale of The Bachelorette, it appeared that The Bachelor alum Jenn Tran was poised to begin a new chapter of her life with her final choice, Devin Strader. However, in a shocking revelation during the After the Final Rose special aired in September, Jenn, 26, disclosed that Devin, 28, abruptly distanced himself from her as soon as the cameras ceased rolling. This unexpected turn left many viewers questioning the authenticity of their televised romance.

Jenn shared her feelings candidly with host Jesse Palmer on the September 3 episode, stating, “He was making bold proclamations of love and then suddenly the next day he was like, nothing and he denied ever being in love.” She expressed her heartbreak, noting, “All the promises he had made to me, all of the love that he had wanted to give to me wasn’t there anymore.” This emotional turmoil highlighted the complexities of relationships formed under the scrutiny of reality television.

The unfolding drama escalated further when Devin took to Instagram, posting a 13-minute video where he detailed his perspective on their breakup. In addition to admitting his “accountability,” he provided context regarding the decision to end the relationship during a 15-minute phone call. His willingness to share his side of the story suggested a desire for transparency amid the chaos.

While Jenn contended that Devin broke up with her during that August call, Devin claimed that Jenn insisted on knowing what was wrong as he was attempting to navigate a face-to-face conversation. “I didn’t really know what else to do,” he explained, emphasizing that he had been hoping to have this difficult discussion in person. “She kind of forced my hand,” he added, shedding light on the pressures of communication in their relationship.

Since the split, Jenn has found herself in the spotlight again, this time as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars. Rumors of a budding romance have emerged with her dance partner, Sasha Farber, following their elimination on October 29. Their chemistry on and off the dance floor has sparked speculation about a potential relationship, indicating that Jenn is ready to embrace new beginnings.
