Warning: The Bachelorette Season 21 spoilers ahead. It’s the question fans have been waiting for ever since she was announced as the next lead: Does Jenn get engaged on The Bachelorette Season 21?! Her ending has “never happened before” in Bachelor Nation history.
Jenn Tran, a 24-year-old Physician Assistant Student from Hillsdale, New Jersey, was announced as the Season 21 Bachelorette at The Bachelor Season 28 “After the Final Rose” special. Jenn was previously a contestant on The Bachelor Season 28 with Joey Graziadei and was sent home in Week 7.

Jenn, who is of Vietnamese descent, is also the first Asian-American lead in Bachelor or Bachelorette history. “Growing up I never really saw a lot of Asians in the media, and that really hindered me from believing that I could make something of myself and do some things, so for me to be here today and kind of be the role model that I’ve always wanted is honestly really surreal for me,” Jenn told Good Morning America in July 2024.
Does Jenn get engaged on The Bachelorette Season 21?
Jenn got engaged to Devin Strader, a 28-year-old Freight Company Owner from Rosenberg, Texas, in The Bachelorette Season 21 finale. (Her runner-up was Marcus Shoberg, a 31-year-old Army Ranger Veteran from Cloquet, Minnesota.)

Jenn also seemingly confirmed she was engaged on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in June 2024, in which she responded to fans who wanted her Bachelor Season 28 cast mates, Maria Georgas or Daisy Kent, as the Season 21 Bachelorette instead of her. “People were like, ‘She’s too boring, or She’s too crazy, she wants to take shots,’” Jenn said. “It’s like, God forbid I want to take a shot! I didn’t know that once you get engaged, you can’t take a shot. Or once you find love, you can’t take a shot.” Jenn went on to correct herself to a more general “find love,” however, fans interpreted her comment as confirmation that she got engaged.

What happened during Jenn and Devin’s engagement on The Bachelorette Season 21?
For the Final Rose Ceremony, which was filmed at a house on the coast of Hawaii, according to Reality Steve, Jenn wore a white dress. Devin also wore a white suit with a black tie, according to photos obtained by Reality Steve.
Jenn and Devin’s engagement was also shown during the cold opening of The Bachelorette Season 21, which made fans think that Jenn left the Final Rose Ceremony single and rejected her last contestant. “I can’t let you propose to me,” Jenn says in the opening to her final contestant, who Reality Steve identified as Devin based on the color of the contestant’s suit shown in the clip. Reality Steve confirmed that the opening was a fakeout—much like Joey Graziadei’s cold opening on The Bachelor Season 28—and that Jenn and Devin are, in fact, engaged.
Jenn also confirmed to Season 11 Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe in July 2024 that something occurs in her Bachelorette finale that’s never happened before in Bachelor Nation. “I think I’m also being told that the ending of my season is also something that has never happened before,” she said.
Fans have speculated that Jenn proposes to Devin, which would make her the first Bachelorette to propose to her winner. This would also explain Jenn telling Devin that she couldn’t let him propose to her. Reality Steve, however, doesn’t believe this theory and speculates that Jenn tells Devin not to propose to her because she wants to give him her final rose first.
“What I do know is in that opening scene Monday where she’s telling Devin ‘I can’t let you propose to me,’ there isn’t an ounce of sadness in her face or a tear in her eye. It’s almost like she’s about to follow it up with, ‘…because I want to choose you,’ or ‘…until I give you the final rose,’” he wrote.
Who designed Jenn’s engagement ring from Devin on The Bachelorette Season 21?
INeil Lane, a celebrity jeweler, who has created engagement rings for The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise since 2008, most likely designed Jenn’s ring from Devin on The Bachelorette Season 21. Ex-host Chris Harrison told Entertainment Weekly in 2016 that engaged Bachelor Nation couples need to stay together for a set amount of time after their engagements to keep their free engagement ring from Lane. If they break up before that time, they must return it. “There’s some rule, after a certain number of years, you get to keep it anyway,” he said. “But after months… it goes back.”
Lane also told StyleCaster in 2016 that he doesn’t know where failed engagement rings go, but he makes each one with the intention that the couple stays together. “I make rings hoping that people stay together forever, but after they get the ring, I don’t have a say in it, and what happens after that, I don’t know,” he said. “Where the ring goes, I have to say, I don’t really know. I just say it goes to ring heaven.”
