LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After the dramatic conclusion of 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, many fans are wondering if Jenn Tran is still engaged to her final pick. The finale was full of emotions, with Jenn making a heartfelt decision to choose Devin. But what has happened since the cameras stopped rolling? Jenn’s family, particularly her brother, expressed concerns about Devin from the start. During hometown visits, her brother made it clear that he wasn’t sure if Devin was the right match for Jenn. He worried that Devin might not be fully committed or ready for the long-term relationship that Jenn was seeking.

These concerns played a significant role in the finale. Jenn was torn between following her heart and listening to her family’s advice. Despite her brother’s doubts, Jenn chose Devin, hoping their connection would prove her family wrong.

However, since the finale aired, there have been signs that her brother’s prediction might have been accurate. Jenn and Devin are no longer engaged following 'The Bachelorette' Season 21 finale. The couple's engagement, which seemed promising during the show, ended shortly after.

James had predicted that Jenn might fall for emotionally unavailable men, based on her past relationship patterns. He observed that Devin, while charming, might not be emotionally ready to fully commit to Jenn. His concerns were validated when Devin, despite initially expressing deep love and commitment, ended up breaking off the engagement a couple of months later, citing regret and a lack of genuine feelings.

Jenn struggled to understand this sudden shift in Devin's emotions, especially since he had promised a future together. Despite her efforts to make the relationship work, Devin's doubts and distance led to the end of their engagement, proving James's predictions right.

Devin Strader's breakup with Jenn Tran came abruptly and painfully. After their engagement on 'The Bachelorette,' Jenn noticed a significant shift in Devin’s behavior. Following their time in Hawaii, where their relationship had seemed promising, Devin started to pull away. Jenn described the change, saying, “It kind of just felt like he was pulling away all the promises that he had made to me.”

The turning point occurred during a phone call that Jenn described as both devastating and unexpected. On this call, Devin ended their engagement. Jenn recounted, “He called me, and he broke off the engagement. [He said] he didn’t love me anymore, felt the same way, and felt like something had been off since the second he proposed.” Devin expressed regret about the engagement, stating he no longer felt the same way about their future together. This conversation, lasting just 15 minutes, left Jenn feeling rejected and confused, as Devin ceased all communication after their call.

Jenn Tran's tried to console Devin after the breakup

After Devin Strader broke off the engagement, Jenn Tran tried to salvage their relationship by offering a more flexible approach. She reached out to Devin, hoping to address their issues and keep their bond intact, even if it meant giving up the engagement.

Jenn recalled her approach, saying, "I said, ‘Let’s just be together. We don’t have to be engaged — I want a life with you, I don’t need a ring on my finger.’” Despite her efforts to reassure Devin and keep their relationship going without the pressure of a formal engagement, Devin was not receptive. He was already emotionally detached and unwilling to work through their issues or seek couples counseling.
