Bachelorette’s Jenn Tran and Jonathon Johnson Address Romance Rumors

As a seasoned observer of the Bachelor Nation saga, I must admit that I find it fascinating to see these former contestants navigate their real-life relationships beyond the glamour and drama of the show.


Jenn Tran and Jonathon Johnson may not have reached the end of their journey after all. 

Following the sensational split between the ‘Bachelorette’ star and her former fiancé Devin Straley, it seems she has rekindled a relationship with another contestant, Jonathon. Today, she is speaking openly about their current status.

Jenn shared a heartwarming comment during the September 10th episode of Kaitlyn Bristowe’s Off the Vine podcast, laughing as she said, “The Internet seems to adore Jenn and Jonathan.” However, in all seriousness, she expressed that she wouldn’t have made a different choice if given the chance. She believes everything unfolded as it should, and she carries immense love and gratitude for the men on her season.

Regarding how she handles socializing with former co-stars from the show, Jenn finds it perfectly fine to keep those friendships intact.

I’m planning to have a beer with Jonathan, either Jeremy or Simon, whichever one it is. I really want to maintain these friendships, but they’re just friends, not anything more.

In my own words, I shared that the fact we’d be far apart played a significant role in my decision to end our relationship with Jonathan.

She clarified, “There simply wasn’t enough of it. It seemed uncertain whether he’d feel comfortable with a long-distance relationship.” She added, “I live in Miami, I can’t move, and neither can he. We weren’t sure if his heart was into it or mine was, given the distance.

During an interview on The Viall Files podcast on September 10th, Jonathon openly discussed his unsuccessful romance, explaining, “I truly believe that the connection simply wasn’t present.

Regarding the possibility of having a future with Jenn, whom he has collaborated on multiple videos, he remained evasive about his intentions.

Jonathon mentioned that no such discussion about anything romantic between him and Jenn has taken place yet,” he explained, implying that their living arrangements make it unlikely at the moment since she’ll be in Los Angeles for several months while he resides here.

Speculation grew about a possible rekindled relationship between them following Jonathan’s praise of Jennifer on Instagram on September 5th. He mentioned his excitement to spend time with Jennifer during her stay in Los Angeles, while she competed on ‘Dancing With the Stars’.

Host Nick Viall suggested to Jonathan and Jenn that if they weren’t planning on dating, they should end their online flirting soon.

“What if we don’t know, though?” Jonathon noted. “Open minded is probably where I stand.”

Regarding his feelings following the end of the show, Jonathan expressed, “It seems people had fallen for the concept of me more than the actual me. Therefore, being ousted in third place while others could recognize my true feelings but the person I cared about couldn’t, was a difficult reality to accept.

Even though Jonathan is looking forward to appearing on Bachelor in Paradise following his invitation, he’s not closing the door to love before the show airs. In fact, there’s one specific quality he values highly when considering a potential partner in the future.

He stated, ‘They trust both themselves and me strongly, so they’re not hesitant or anxious about our relationship.’ He further added, ‘Even with my busy schedule and numerous responsibilities, I will always remain a constant presence in their life.’

Though underwater welder John Henry Spurlock (one of Charity Lawson‘s suitors) and nurse Kat Izzo (she competed for Zach Shallcross‘ heart) didn’t connect until midway through season nine of Bachelor in Paradise, they were willing to dive into the deep end. “I’m going to try something a little different,” he said while offering up an Ascher cut Neil Lane diamond. “I’m following my heart today. My heart’s telling me that you are amazing, you are everything that I’m looking for.” 

But days after the finale aired, the duo revealed they no longer saw forever in each other’s eyes. “While our paths are taking different directions due to our career goals not aligning,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post, “we are grateful for the love and support we’ve received from our family, friends, and Bachelor Nation.”

Despite her nerves about a Paradise engagement, an all-dressed-in-white Eliza Isichei (one of Clayton Echard‘s exes) happily accepted Aaron Bryant‘s oceanfront proposal. Touched by the software salesman’s decision to reach out to her mom for her blessing, she gushed, “I knew I was not in control of what was going to come out of my mouth.” 

The finale’s coda acknowledged Charity’s ex and marketing manager Eliza had hit some bumps after returning from Mexico, and days later they announced they had officially ended their engagement.

“Tricky emotions watching it all unfold,” he wrote on Instagram December 2023. “We’re leading our amicable split with nothing but positivity and mutual respect for one another.”

Though postpartum nurse Kylee Russell lamented boyfriend Aven Jones‘ unwillingness to get down on bended knee—a move he was purportedly prepared to make while romancing Bachelorette Rachel Recchia—she ultimately accepted Aven’s Paradise proposal to “get out of here and make it work.” 

Though that meant her planned engagement gown remained packed, “I just had to do what I felt was right,” she said. “Love is all about taking risk.”

Two days after their December 2023 finale aired, she announced on her Instagram Stories that their relationship had “dissolved due to multiple infidelities.” Aven later issued an apology to Kylee, writing, “I have made major mistakes in the relationship and hurt someone who was very close to me.”

Zach shall get his happy ending. Despite more than a few Fantasy Suite-related stumbles, Zach Shallcross ended season 27 in March 2023 down on one knee. “I am so in love with you,” he told travel nurse Kaity Biggar. “You are my world. The love I feel for you is something I could have never imagined.”

In July 2023, the Texas-based duo made an even bigger step in their journey, with Kaity sharing on Instagram, “Officially roommates.”

Well, it was certainly a journey. Susie Evans initially rejected Bachelor Clayton Echard‘s overtures during the 2022 finale only to reunite with him off-camera…and then split once again six months later. 

But the L.A.-based videographer insists their breakup was for the right reasons. “The people around me could see that my sparkle had dulled and I was far from thriving,” she wrote in a November 2022 post for her blog “Susie Was Like.” She acknowledged they “had joyous moments often, but deep down I was struggling and felt misaligned with the best version of me.”

After dating Justin Glaze, a contestant from Bachelor Nation, Susie later confirmed that their relationship had ended in August 2024 as well.

Since Matt and graphic designer Rachael Kirkconnell parted ways during his 2021 season (followed by a brief separation and subsequent reconciliation), they have faced numerous breakup speculations. However, to clarify, they are still very much smitten with each other.

“I believe everyone needs a break from social media,” he shared exclusively with TopMob News at a July 18 Baskin-Robbins event. “Our lives are so intertwined with our phones that when someone takes a break from being online 24/7, people think it’s the end of the world.”

Marriage is the ultimate goal for this L.A.-based couple. As the author of First Impressions: Off Screen Conversations With a Bachelor on Race, Family, and Forgiveness expressed in 2022, “The good thing about our relationship is we move at our own pace.” He added, “And you’ve seen with other couples—they rush the engagement and they’re not together anymore.

In a turn of events a month later, speculations about reconciliation swirled when I crossed paths with them once more. Fast-forwarding to July 2021, following numerous meetups, Clare and Dale had rekindled their relationship—complete with a ring. However, come September, they decided to part ways again.
