Jesse Palmer<\/strong><\/a> watched Jenn Tran<\/strong><\/a> and Devin Strader<\/strong>\u2019s relationship play out on season 21 of The Bachelorette<\/em> before it quickly crumbled. After the leading lady revealed that Devin ended their engagement shortly after filming during After the Final Rose<\/em>, The Bachelorette<\/em> host reacted to the way Jenn\u2019s season ended.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I found out, I felt a lot of emotions. I was sad. I was heartbroken for Jenn,\u201d Jesse, 45, told Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a> published on Thursday, September 5. \u201cI was confused. I never anticipated this happening considering everything that I saw happen between the two of them in Hawaii.\u201d<\/p>\n Emotions were high during The Bachelorette<\/em><\/a> live finale. Unlike anything that\u2019s ever happened before, Jenn, 26, didn\u2019t accept a proposal from her final suitor Devin, 28. Instead, she popped the big question herself. After the happy moment played for the audience at home and in the studio, Jenn took the stage and announced that Devin called off their engagement<\/a> shortly after filming wrapped.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople in the audience were shocked, as I\u2019m sure people were at home watching,\u201d Jesse revealed to the outlet. \u201cWe had never seen Jenn so emotional, and as difficult as that must have been for her to recount, she showed incredible strength and bravery.\u201d<\/p>\n Jenn\u2019s journey as the Bachelorette came with a lot of hardships, despite the fact that she was the first Asian-American lead on the franchise. While she was filming the show, The Bachelor<\/em> alum fan-favorite Maria Georgas<\/strong> revealed that she was actually the first pick as lead after they both competed for Joey Graziadei<\/strong>\u2019s heart on season 28 of The Bachelor<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was set in stone. I was it,\u201d Maria, 30, confirmed on the May 1 date episode of the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast. But Maria said she backed out of the offer<\/a> when she realized it wasn\u2019t making her happy. Jenn claimed that wasn\u2019t the truth when she went on the same podcast two months later.<\/p>\n That said, Maria got brought up multiple times during Jenn\u2019s season of The Bachelorette. Not only did contestant Sam McKinney<\/strong> admit that he believed Maria or their fellow season 28 contestant Daisy Kent<\/strong> would be the lead when joining the show, but Devin followed Maria on Instagram<\/a> one day after he broke up with Jenn.<\/p>\n \u201cNot only other girls, but Maria,\u201d Jenn told Devin during After the Final Rose<\/em> live finale. \u201cNot only is that so disrespectful to anything we shared together, I just don\u2019t understand why you would do something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n During Jenn and Devin\u2019s oncamera reunion, she revealed that she tried to have a conversation with her ex-fianc\u00e9 in private but he didn\u2019t take up the offer. Devin didn\u2019t defend his actions. However, Maria addressed the incident via TikTok<\/a> on Thursday, September, 5, and shared that she did not and will never follow him back<\/a>.<\/p>\n After the physician assistant aired out Devin\u2019s suspect behavior, more women stepped forward and shared claims about him.<\/p>\n \u201cWithin the past week, I heard from a really good friend who said that Devin had slid into her DMs<\/a>,\u201d Bachelor Nation\u2019s Ashley Iaconetti<\/strong> told her \u201cAlmost Famous\u201d podcast cohost, Ben Higgins<\/strong>, during the Wednesday, September 4, episode.<\/p>\n After revealing that the mystery woman was not a part of the franchise, Ashley, 36, said, \u201cThis girl followed him, just because she\u2019s been a fan of him from the show, liked his personality.\u201d<\/p>\n Just one day later, Devin was seemingly spotted with a second mystery woman weeks before filming After the Final Rose<\/em>. On Thursday, September 5, Instagram account @Bachelornationscoop shared a video of what seemed to be Devin with a female at a rooftop bar.<\/p>\n \u201cThe video is from August 23, after he broke up with Jenn,\u201d the account creator wrote in the comment section of the post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
