Who Is Devin Strader? Find Out Why He Dumped Bachelorette Jenn Tran Broke Up
Season 21 of The Bachelorette ended with a bang!
Jenn Tran admitted that despite Devin Strader accepting her proposal, the two split shortly after leaving Hawaii.
On the After the Final Rose special, Jenn filled viewers in on her the current status of her relationship with Devin.
"It's been a really hard couple of months," she began. "We had left Hawai'i engaged and very happy. I thought that I had found the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with, and then, essentially, as soon as we left Hawai'i, things were different. It kind of just felt like he was pulling away."

"The efforts were inconsistent, he wasn't calling as much. texting as much. I was confused, I didn't understand because we had just left so happy," Jenn said.
"I felt like I was secondary to everything else in his life ... and I didn't understand why. We had a happy couple [visit] planned sometime last month early and the night before, he called me, and he basically broke off the engagement. He basically said that he didn't love me anymore and didn't feel the same way. ... He regretted getting engaged. And I didn't know. I knew all along it was just different," she recalled.
After suggesting they shelve the engagement for now and just date, Devin apparently was already "checked out" of the relationship.
"He didn't want to go to couple's counseling, he didn't want to fight for the relationship anymore, he was just done," the emotional Jenn explained.
"All the promises he had made to me, all of the love that he had wanted to give to me wasn't there anymore," Jenn revealed, adding that she last saw her ex-fiancé in July.
The former flames saw each other for the first time in months and it was AWK.
"I failed you," Devin said. "And there's nothing I can say other than that. But everything I felt for you was real."
Host Jesse Palmer intervened to try and understand what went wrong in their relationship.
"When we left the show, I had a lot of doubts. I did come clean to you about that. It's hard to sit here and deny what you're accusing me of," he said. "I was regretfully late on letting you know. I can only sit here and take accountability for my shortcomings," he explained.
"I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, I wanted to have a family with you, and you didn't feel those things," she said. "You had one foot out the door the entire time. ... I am heartbroken every Monday night watching the lies you said to me on TV."
