The 26-year-old revealed that after the show finished filming there’s typically an adjustment period during the two months of the show airing. She said, “And for me, I was being very gracious with that with the fact that, like, you know, we have so much love for each other, but we just gotta figure out how to make this work in the real world.”
Jenn also admitted that while Devin did make many mistakes, she continued to make up reasons for what he did to be okay. “I was like, ‘Oh, he didn’t call me for 18 hours, and I don’t know where he is. It’s okay. He’s probably just… I don’t know.’ And that happened a lot,” she said. Jenn then went on to clarify that, “I’m done kind of trying to figure out what’s going on in his head and who he is as a person.”
Looking back, Jenn says that there were “definitely red flags” that she noticed, but because they were long distance, she tried to be gracious instead of blaming him.
After The Bachelorette finale aired, Jenn said that she reached out to Devin with well wishes, however, it wasn’t long after that when she began receiving messages from other girls about her ex. “All that stuff that made me upset, and I just, like, I was done,” Jenn explained. “So we haven’t talked.”
As for where Jenn stands with ex-contestant Jonathon, she says, “I want so badly to, like, keep those friendships, but nothing more than that.” Jenn also said that she has “so much love and gratitude for the guys on my season.”
While Jenn may not have found her happily ever after on The Bachelorette, she did say, “I don’t think that I would have went back and chosen anybody different. Just — everything worked out the way it needed to.”
