Matt Rossi carries souvenir for Jenn Tran after reuniting with 'The Bachelorette' following breakup
Matt admits in the video that he skipped two weddings in Colombia to come to Auckland, New Zealand, for a second chance at love with Jenn. He displays a little gift from Colombia, explaining that Jenn lost out on their time together there owing to their separation.
He wasn't optimistic about the reunion and was unsure of what would happen, but he wanted Jenn to have something from Colombia because she was supposed to be there with him.
Later in the video, Matt expresses concern that it may be too late for him, given that Jenn had already fallen for someone on the show. Joining 'The Bachelorette' mid-season has put Matt in a backseat, but he feels his previous relationship with Jenn will give him a fair chance.
Matt Rossi calls out ABC over fake bio on 'The Bachelorette'
Jenn's ex-boyfriend, Matt, is pointing out a big error that aired on 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, amid suspicions that the producers have been manipulating the season by generating conflict. Jenn was taken aback when Matt came all the way to Auckland, New Zealand, to win her back on 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, Episode 4.
Jenn highlighted that Matt was not the nasty ex she had mentioned. She was split about what to do when Matt proclaimed his love for her and pleaded for another chance.
The episode ended on a cliffhanger.
In one Instagram picture and two stories, Matt chastised 'The Bachelorette' Season 21 producers for making a significant error in his profile on the show. Matt was identified as a 27-year-old insurance agent from Atlanta, Georgia, which was inaccurate.
Matt jokingly captioned the photo, "Anyone need insurance?" In an Instagram post, Matt disclosed that the information in his bio was really that of 'The Bachelorette' Season 21 candidate Matt Arnold, who was eliminated on the first night.
He stated, "If you actually need insurance this Matt can help."
In another Instagram story, Matt posted a photo of the inaccurate information from the broadcast, captioned, "Insurance executive from Atlanta is wild when I sell beer in Boston (I'm 28)." In his Instagram bio, he also describes himself as a "digital creator."
Matt and Jenn had a three-month relationship three years ago and just reunited.
Why did 'The Bachelorette' Jenn Tran and Matt Rossi split?
Jenn mentioned Matt indirectly in her social media videos. In one TikTok, she referred to him as "Weiner Boy" because of his dachshund and described why they split up.
Jenn states on TikTok that she was "head over heels" in love with "Weiner Boy" and wanted to marry him, but he ditched her three months into their relationship. This upset Jenn, and after the split, a friend asked if she wanted to go to Miami, Florida.
Jenn went on vacation and enjoyed the pleasant city. She later applied to ten physician assistant programs and was accepted into one in Miami, making her decision clear.
“If I never dated Wiener Boy in the first place, if Weiner Boy never broke my heart so badly that I wanted to go to Miami, if I never had gone to Miami, I would’ve never applied to school in Miami,” Jenn noted.
“And if I never applied to school in Miami, I would have never gotten into PA school, and I wouldn’t be in PA school right now.”
Matt has not been bashful about publicizing his friendship with Jenn, the Season 21 lead on 'The Bachelorette'. He utilized his dog to narrate the story of how he ended his relationship with Jenn in a TikTok video.
On TikTok, he describes himself as a "24-year-old f***boy living in Boston with his three best friends." As coronavirus (COVID-19) limitations ended, he was "painfully single" and went on Hinge, where he met Jenn.
In the video, Matt describes Jenn as "cute" and "sweet" and says she was "totally out of his league." Things started to heat up and got pretty serious, and Jenn was ready to settle down but Matt didn't want to.
Matt and Jenn remained friends throughout the years. At the end of the TikTok, Matt laughs about using his ex "for clout."
Matt spends the final few seconds of the video whispering into the camera and imploring Jenn to give him another opportunity.
