Jenn Tran & Devin Strader: A Rollercoaster Romance in the Spotlight

Jenn Tran & Devin Strader

Status: Split

During the dramatic season 21 finale of The Bachelorette, it appeared that The Bachelor alum Jenn Tran was about to embark on a blissful journey with her final selection, Devin Strader. However, in a shocking twist revealed during After the Final Rose in September, the 26-year-old Jenn disclosed that Devin, aged 28, turned icy and distant as soon as the cameras ceased rolling. This unexpected change left viewers and fans bewildered, questioning the authenticity of his previous affections.

“He was making bold proclamations of love and then suddenly the next day he was like, nothing and he denied ever being in love,” Jenn recounted to host Jesse Palmer during the September 3 episode. “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 revelation sparked a flurry of speculation regarding the true nature of their relationship and whether their televised romance was genuine or merely for show.

The drama escalated when Devin took to Instagram, releasing a 13-minute video to share his perspective on the situation. In this candid account, he took “accountability” for his actions and elaborated on the reasons behind his decision to end the relationship during a 15-minute phone conversation.

While Jenn claimed he ended things during this August call, Devin contended that she was the one pressing for answers about their relationship, which prompted him to break the news sooner than he desired. “I didn’t really know what else to do,” he explained, revealing that he had intended to deliver the news face-to-face. “She kind of forced my hand,” he added, which fueled further debate among fans about the true dynamics of their breakup.

Since their split, Jenn has moved on and found herself stepping into the limelight once again on Dancing With the Stars. Rumors of a budding romance with her dance partner, Sasha Farber, have ignited since their elimination on October 29, suggesting that Jenn is embracing new beginnings and possibly a new relationship.
