Jenn Tran completed her journey by proposing to Devin Strader, who then ended their relationship.
At the finale of the show «The Bachelorette», - Tran made franchise history — not only as the first Asian contestant, but also due to unexpected twists.
It seemed like it would be a happy «happily ever after» moment when Jenn, 26, told Jesse Palmer about her plans to propose to Devin, 28. «Today, I won’t let Devin propose to me. I will propose to Devin», - she said during the episode on Tuesday, September 3.
But on a special episode called «After the Finale», - the aspiring physician assistant revealed how everything changed immediately after the engagement in Hawaii.
«As soon as we left Hawaii, everything changed», - she told the host. «I felt like he was backing away from all the promises he made to me — the desire to live together, plan a future, and see each other constantly».
Jenn added that she stopped receiving calls and messages from Devin and became «confused». Then, one night, she received a call from her then-fiancé.
«He basically said he no longer loves me and doesn’t feel the same way», - she recalled, adding that Devin said he «regretted» the engagement. «He shut down. This is not what he wanted anymore».
After a 15-minute phone call that took place sometime in August, while the season was airing, Jenn claimed that Devin did not respond to her attempts to contact him.
«We were completely engaged and in love, and now you’re ignoring my messages, as if I mean nothing to you», - she said.
Jesse then invited the owner of a freight company on stage, as Jenn accused him of being «sleazy» and subscribing to new girls on Instagram, including former «Bachelorette» contestant Maria Georgas. Maria revealed on the podcast «Call Her, Baby» in April that she turned down the lead role on «The Bachelorette» before it was offered to Jenn.
«This completely discredited our relationship», - Jenn told her former fiancé.
«I let you down, and I can only say that, you know, but everything I felt was real», - he replied.
Devin admitted that he had «a lot of doubts» about their relationship when he left the show, and that he «couldn't meet» what Jenn needed — although he did not specify what her expectations were.
Jesse then asked Jenn if she was ready to see the proposal, to which she replied, «Do I have a choice?»
When the proposal was shown, cameras showed a live feed of Jenn on the bottom of the screen, crying next to Devin as she watched herself propose to him. Social media users criticized the show’s producers for making her experience an emotional moment on live television
