KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII: Devin Strader is likely to make an appearance in Season 10 of 'Bachelor in Paradise', as producers of the ABC show may want to take advantage of his recent popularity.
In the finale of 'The Bachelorette' Season 21 aired on September 3, Jenn Tran and Devin ended their engagement. Tearfully, Jenn expressed how difficult the past few months had been. She recalled their happiness in Hawaii but noticed a shift once they returned, feeling Devin had started to withdraw.
Jenn described his inconsistent efforts in communicating, leaving her confused about the change in their relationship. Jenn detailed how Devin called her the night before a planned visit, to break off the engagement, stating he no longer loved her and regretted their decision to get engaged.
Despite her attempts to understand his feelings and suggest they date without the pressure of engagement, Devin was disengaged and uninterested in seeking counseling or fighting for their relationship.
Jenn also mentioned how shocked host Jesse Palmer was by Devin's sudden change, as he had previously expressed deep love for her. Jenn concluded by noting that she hadn't seen Devin since July, highlighting the stark contrast between his past promises and his current feelings.
