The Bachelorette season 21 has an unprecedented ending for Jenn Tran, but I think I know what happened based on the previews and the spoilers for the season. Jenn, a 26-year-old physician assistant student originally from Hillsdale, New Jersey, but currently living in Miami, Florida, first appeared in Joey Graziadei's Bachelor season. She made it to his Top 6 women before he said goodbye to her right before his hometown dates.
Now Jenn is ready to continue her journey to find love during The Bachelorette season 21. She's breaking ground as the first-ever Asian American Bachelor franchise lead. She's also making history because her ending has never happened before. Although it's being kept a secret, I think that what happened during Jenn's season finale might be the most empowering moment in Bachelorette history.
Jenn Is Engaged To Devin Strader
Reality Steve Spoiled Jenn's Ending
According to an Instagram post from Reality Steve, Jenn is engaged to Devin Strader. Marcus Shoberg was her runner-up. Although Reality Steve got Joey's ending wrong at the beginning of his season, reporting that he was engaged to runner-up Daisy Kent rather than winner Kelsey Anderson, I believe that this spoiler is true. After last season's mistake, Reality Steve wouldn't post spoilers unless he was absolutely sure that they were correct. Knowing that Jenn is happily engaged, the previews for her season finale are obviously now exposed to be misleading.
Jenn Revealed That Her Ending Has Never Happened Before
Joey Graziadei's Bachelor Ending Was Also Unprecedented
The Bachelor season 28 had an unprecedented ending, during which runner-up Daisy self-eliminated because she knew that Joey was going to choose Kelsey. She even rode in the limousine with Kelsey to the final rose ceremony in a moment of sisterhood. I found that scene to be so powerful, and also truly shocking, so I have high expectations for Jenn's finale as well.
"I think I’m also being told that the ending of my season is also something that has never happened before."
According to Us Weekly, Kaitlyn Bristowe shared an Instagram story with a clip from an interview that she did with Jenn at CMA Fest in Nashville on Saturday, June 8. During the interview, Jenn revealed, "I think I’m also being told that the ending of my season is also something that has never happened before." I believe that this is true, but that it's not going to involve something negative.
Jenn Might Have Proposed To Devin
Jenn's Previews Are Misleading
During Jenn's Bachelorette premiere, she stated that she isn't "traditional." In the previews for Jenn's finale, she had a conversation with her mother about her "plan," which Jenn said was "the right choice" for her. Her mother then told her that she trusted her.
Jenn was then shown telling Jesse, "I'm done letting men dictate my relationships." Jesse told Jenn, "No Bachelorette has ever done this before. Are you sure you want to do this?" Jenn responds, "I have to choose myself." She then says, "What I'm about to do today is something that I never thought that I would ever do starting this journey. I know what I want. I know what I deserve. And I have to do what's right for me."
"No Bachelorette has ever done this before. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Another clip shows Jenn telling one of the men, "I can't let you propose to me." This is meant to make viewers believe that Jenn is rejecting him. However, I think that she's going to propose to him instead.
In addition, all of Jenn's previews (shared via the Bachelorette Instagram page) have been about her having the power. The slogan for the season is "The power is in her hands," while the song is "Power" by Little Mix ft. Stormzy. I believe that a shift in power seems to be on the horizon for The Bachelorette.
Because of this, I believe that Jenn proposed to Devin. This would be something that has never happened before during The Bachelorette because every previous Bachelorette has been proposed to instead of doing it herself. It would also align with the theme of a power shift. Although this is just speculation on my part, I think it would be the perfect ending. If Jenn proposed to Devin, it would be one of the most beautiful and empowering moments in Bachelorette history. I don't know for sure if Jenn proposed to Devin, but I really hope that I'm right.
The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
