The Bachelorette has given out her final rose—and, as Jesse Palmer promised, this was one of the most unpredictable finales in franchise history. So, who won Jenn Tran's season of The Bachelorette? On September 3, the last episode revealed that Tran gave her final rose to Devin Strader. A front-runner from the beginning, the Texas native was known within the cast for his humor and larger-than-life personality. During their time in Hawaii, Tran tossed tradition by proposing to her boyfriend with a silver band. He accepted (and gave her a ring in return), and they left the island as fiancés—but their engagement was short-lived. During an emotional appearance on the live After the Final Rose special, Tran revealed they are no longer together.

Through tears, she explained what *really* went down when the cameras stopped rolling. "As soon as we left [Hawaii], things felt different," she explained. "It felt like he was pulling away. The efforts were inconsistent, he wasn't calling or texting as much." Adding that she felt "confused," she continued, "He broke off the engagement. He said he didn't love me...He felt something was off the second he proposed and he regretted getting engaged."

Here, we break down everything to know about Jenn Tran—the first Asian-American woman to lead the franchise—including all the details from her Bachelorette season.

  • The 2024 Bachelorette was Jenn Tran, a 26-year-old Miami resident.
  • Jenn Tran first appeared on Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor, where she was eliminated during the seventh week (right before hometowns).
  • Jenn Tran accepted a proposal from Devin Strader on her Bachelorette finale. But during the After the Final Rose special, she confirmed he ended their engagement after the season wrapped filming.

Who Won Jenn Tran's Season of The Bachelorette?

At the end of her Bachelorette season, Jenn Tran gave her final rose to Devin Strader. The Houston, Texas native was a front-runner from the beginning, captivating the Bachelorette with his sense of humor. Described in his ABC bio as "hardworking" and "passionate about his career," the freight company owner wasn't completely absent from the drama this season. During the first group date, Strader stole Tran away for a private moment to share ice cream together, which created a stir among his castmates.

Alas, Tran's connection with the 28-year-old was strong enough to withstand his ups and downs in the group. Strader confessed his love for Tran during his hometown date—and when he pulled her aside after their fantasy suite night to express his nerves about the future of their relationship, she confirmed that she reciprocated his feelings.

After picking out a Neil Lane engagement ring, the couple got engaged in Hawaii. Their happy ending was short-lived, however, and on the live After the Final Rose special, Tran confirmed that Strader broke off their engagement over the phone, saying he began "pulling away" once the cameras stopped rolling. She also revealed that she discovered he began following fellow Bachelor Nation stars immediately after their breakup, including Maria Georgas (a fan-favorite from Joey Graziadei's season).

All About Jenn Tran's Engagement Ring

Jenn Tran's engagement ring from Devin Strader was an oval-cut diamond in a gold bezel setting with dainty diamonds hidden underneath the basket. While talking to designer Neil Lane about the sparkler, Strader likened the sturdy, vintage-inspired setting to the "solid foundation" they built together. Since the two are no longer engaged, the ring has likely been retired to the ominous "Bachelor engagement ring graveyard" that Lane has previously spoken about.

5 Things to Know About Jenn Tran

Jenn Tran made history as the first Asian-American woman to lead the ABC dating franchise in 2024. The 26-year-old PA school student was a contestant on Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor. Despite making a strong impression on the lead, Tran was sent home during the seventh week—right before Hometowns. The Miami resident had a second shot at love as the Bachelorette, following in the footsteps of Charity Lawson.

Leading up to the show's premiere in July 2024, Tran told host Jesse Palmer, "I hope I find my person someone that I truly feel like is 100%—my perfect match and someone who I'm compatible with someone who he and I can have fun." Here are five fast facts to know about Jenn Tran.

She Lives in Miami

According to her ABC bio, Jenn Tran is currently based in Miami, Florida, but her studies have taken her all over the country. Per her LinkedIn page, Tran obtained a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020. Before that, she studied at the University of Pittsburgh for two years.

She's Studying to be a Physician Assistant

Jenn Tran is currently studying to be a Physician Assistant. In an Instagram Reel shared in February, Tran opened up about why she put her career on pause to go on The Bachelor, citing Joey as her reason for pursuing love. After emailing her academic advisor about the opportunity, Tran said she got "so lucky" that they were supportive of her decision. They determined that Tran could put her rotations on hold during filming, and that she'll still get to walk at her graduation ceremony with the rest of her classmates.

She's Vietnamese

Jenn Tran is bilingual, and in her ABC bio for The Bachelor, she said that she was "excited to talk to Joey about her family's Vietnamese background." Tran opened up about her heritage on the show, but since she was eliminated right before Hometowns, Graziadei never got to meet her family and learn about their culture in real life.

She Loves to Travel

Tran also loves to travel…when she has time, that is! In between her studies, the student often shares Instagram posts documenting her adventures around the world.

She Made a Strong First Impression on The Bachelor

Jenn Tran had one of the most memorable entrances on Joey's season of The Bachelor. Instead of stepping out of a limo (as is tradition for most contestants), she opted to ride in on a go-kart. "I'd race to the end of Rainbow Road for you," she wrote on Instagram.
