Jenn Tran reveals relationship status with Jonathon Johnson

Jenn Tran talks about the recent romance rumors between her and Jonathan Johnsona candidate “The Bachelorette” Season 21, who placed third after eliminating him during a rose ceremony.

Speculation about a possible romance between the two began to bubble after Jonathon Johnson expressed his admiration for Jenn Tran on Instagram on September 5, mentioning that he was looking forward to spending time with her while she was celebrating her time in Los Angeles was “Dancing with the Stars.”

Their breakup quickly became messy, with Jenn accusing Devin of only joining the show for fame. In response, Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram sharing his side of the story and uploading hundreds of screenshots from their text conversations.

After her dramatic separation from her ex-fiancé Devin, “Bachelorette” star Jenn has now gotten back in touch with her fellow contestant Jonathon Johnson.

Now she's talking about what her relationship is like today.

After their appearance at a party together on September 13, speculation only increased, which only added to the intrigue surrounding their relationship. Although the chemistry between them seems obvious, Jenn seemed to avoid the relationship question when asked People.

“It’s funny because you learn so much more about the person after the show,” she said of Johnson. “There are so many layers to discover and things about them that you didn't know, especially things that they were feeling at that moment in the show, and you're like, 'Wait, didn't you feel that way?'”

“It’s so nice to get to know Jonathon even better after the show,” she added. “We’ve become so much closer.”

Last month, Jenn explained that the long-distance aspect of her potential relationship with Jonathon played a major role in her decision to split.

“There was a lot. It just wasn’t there,” she explained. “I hope he doesn't mind me saying this, but he just wasn't sure if he should do long distances too. I thought, “I live in Miami, I’m not going to move.” And he’s not going to move. So we didn’t know if his heart was in it for the long haul and mine wasn’t.”

But now that she's spending time in LA for Dancing with the Stars, many are hoping the two get back together.

Tran first appeared in Jonathon's TikToks, which only fueled rumors among fans about a possible romantic relationship between the two.

The couple made headlines with their visit Peoplecelebrate their 50th birthday together in September at The Chain House in Los Angeles.

Later that month, on the season 33 premiere of “Dancing with the Stars,” Tran spoke People magazine about her love life after Johnson was seen cheering her on from the audience.

Responding to Johnson's recent appearance on The Viall Files podcast, where he said he would say “yes” if she asked him out, Tran commented, “Honestly, Jonathon was such a great friend of mine, and he was.” It's great to have someone in LA who supports me and is a rock for me.

She further clarified, “Right now my heart is just not in the position to date anyone, let alone Jonathon. But I’m excited to see where our friendship leads.”

Jonathon opened up about their failed on-air romance on the Sept. 10 episode of “The Viall Files,” telling Nick Viall, “I really think it was just because the connection wasn't there.”

But now that the show is over and the two are learning more about each other, things could change. “The conversation hasn’t happened yet,” he said of a possible rekindling of the romance. “I mean, she'll be in LA for a few months, this is where I live.”

He added: “I’m probably open-minded.”
