Season 28 The Bachelor<\/em><\/a> lead Joey Graziadei<\/strong><\/a> is thrilled to be reuniting with his contestant Jenn Tran<\/strong><\/a> as he and the latest Bachelorette<\/a> compete against each other on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m excited. I mean, Bachelor Nation runs deep, right?\u201d Joey, 28, told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday, September 4. \u201cThey always do Dancing With the Stars<\/em>, so it\u2019s an exciting opportunity and we\u2019re just gonna have fun with it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI saw her earlier today. Obviously, she came in last-minute, but I got to say hello and give her a hug,\u201d Joey shared with the outlet after the full slate of competitors was revealed. \u201cWe\u2019re just, like I said, excited to get this thing going.\u201d<\/p>\n This will be the first time that DWTS<\/em> has both the most recent Bachelor and Bachelorette competing against each other. Jenn\u2019s season wrapped up on Tuesday, September 3, which saw her romantic proposal from Devin Strader<\/strong> end in heartbreak when he dumped her<\/a> after cameras finished rolling.<\/p>\n While Jenn, 26, won\u2019t have a fianc\u00e9 in the audience to cheer her on, Joey said his final rose recipient, fianc\u00e9e Kelsey<\/strong> Anderson<\/strong>, convinced him to do the show and will relocate to Los Angeles with him while he competes.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s been so supportive,\u201d the Pennsylvania native said of Kelsey, 25. \u201cShe actually really pushed for me to do this, [and] we\u2019re just gonna enjoy this time. It\u2019s actually nice to slow it down a little bit and be in the same place. And, yeah, we\u2019re gonna enjoy L.A. and just see what it\u2019s like here for a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n Joey\u2019s pro-partner, Jenna Johnson<\/strong>, is already impressed with his learning capabilities at ballroom dancing.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really excited about his ability,\u201d the season 26 Mirrorball winner said. \u201cHe\u2019s not a dancer, but he can really pick it up and he\u2019s so smart that he can process what I\u2019m saying, and I\u2019m really excited.\u201d<\/p>\n Jenn was eliminated in week 7 of Joey\u2019s season of The Bachelor<\/em>. The physician\u2019s assistant trainee made history when she named season 21\u2019s Bachelorette, becoming the first Asian-American lead.<\/p>\n Viewers were shocked at how things went horribly wrong for Jenn after giving her final rose to Devin, 28, following his romantic proposal in Hawaii<\/a>.<\/p>\n During After the Final Rose<\/em> on Tuesday, September 3, it was revealed that Devin broke up with Jenn over the phone weeks after getting engaged in the finale, which was filmed in May. When he was brought out on stage, it was the first time she\u2019d seen him since their split.<\/p>\n A tearful Jenn claimed Devin was \u201cnever fully in the relationship\u201d and even suggested couples counseling, but said her former fianc\u00e9 wasn\u2019t interested in fixing things.<\/p>\n \u201cI promised my life to somebody who I thought was going to put every effort into the relationship. I didn\u2019t feel that. I felt like I was secondary to everything in his life,\u201d she told host Jesse Palmer<\/strong> during the live finale. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t introducing me to his family anymore. Every little thing made me feel secondary to his life and I didn\u2019t understand why.\u201d<\/p>\n A month before the finale aired, Devin told the Miami resident that he \u201cregretted\u201d their engagement and that he \u201cdidn\u2019t love her anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt definitely was a moment I had been wanting to happen for the past month,\u201d Jenn said about coming face-to-face with Devin during an appearance on Good Morning America<\/em>, one day after the finale aired. \u201cI just needed to get that off my chest<\/a> and start a clean slate and move on with my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Bachelorette\u2019s](\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/jenn-Tran-dating-in-20s.jpg?fit=400%2C267&quality=86&strip=all\")
