Bachelor Nation Weighs in on the Aftermath of Jenn, Devin’s Split

Bachelor Nation continues to react to the aftermath of Jenn Tran And Devin Strader‘s break.

Jenn and Devin both proposed to each other during The Bachelorette season 21, but she revealed during the live portion of the finale that Devin had broken off their engagement over the phone. In the days that followed, Jenn shared her side of the story — claiming that Devin had backtracked on his idea of ​​couples therapy and telling her that he only loved her on “some days,” among other claims.

Devin responded in a 13-minute video featuring endless — and intimate — messages between him and Jenn throughout their relationship.

“All I’m trying to do here is show that this was a two-way relationship,” Devin said. “And I think we can both be held accountable. I’m not sitting here trying to say in any way that I was perfect in that relationship, but I want to clear up some of the rumors and the false narrative that’s been told about me.”

After receiving criticism from fans and members of Bachelor Nation, Devin apologized for sharing “sensitive information.”

“My only intention is to show the relationship from my perspective. I gain nothing from that text conversation being shown. I promise you that was a mistake,” he wrote via his Instagram Story. “I tried to black out all of our personal/sensitive info, I honestly missed it and messed it up.”

Both the original video and Devin’s subsequent statement have since been removed from his Instagram page.
