Jenn Tran’s season of “The Bachelorette” may not have ended in lasting love, but the reality TV star might have just surprised fans with a new man in her life. The former lead posted an Instagram Story of herself with a mystery man, and fans already believe they have cracked the case on who he is.
Here’s a hint: Fans theorize this isn’t a brand-new romance. The mystery man might have a history with Tran and a juicy reality TV resume.
Jenn Tran Debuts Possible New Romance
Getty“The Bachelorette” season 21 star Jenn Tran is teasing fans with a new love interest. In a recent Instagram Story shared via E! News, Tran snapped a mirror selfie with a man hugging her. Tran wears what appears to be a bikini with a long red skirt, while the mystery man kept it casual in a black t-shirt and cream-colored pants. He’s even spotted carrying her bag over his shoulder, a small yet romantic gesture that fans surely approved of.
Fans who watched Tran’s season of “The Bachelorette” believe that the man she is hugging is Jonathon Johnson. Johnson made quite the impression on Tran on the show when he exited the limo in a hospital gown and bandages covering his face. Although the two stars formed a solid connection, Tran ultimately sent him home in week 8.
After appearing on Tran’s season, Johnson was asked to return to the franchise for season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise.” However, he was again unlucky in finding love.
In a recent Instagram post in which Tran attended a wedding in Spain, fans flooded the comment section with the suggestion that the mystery man was Johnson.
“Omg is that Jonathan in the stories,” a fan wrote. “The pants scream Jonny boyyy,” another comment read.
Tran Dated Her ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Partner Sasha Farber
Tran became one of several celebrities to hit the dance floor for season 33 of “Dancing With the Stars.” She was partnered with professional dancer Sasha Farber, and the two quickly formed a strong bond, though they chose to keep their relationship under wraps.
When the two were eliminated from the show, placing seventh, Tran continued to hang out with Farber. She would make TikToks at his home in California, and they attended the Los Angeles premiere of “Wicked” together in November 2024.
In March, Tran told People that she had relocated to Miami to pursue her master’s degree in hopes of becoming a physician assistant.
“I now live in Miami — just moved back, saw my first few patients the other day back in the hospital. I’m very excited. It’s been incredible,” she told the outlet.
According to E! News, the couple split just three months later. However, the exes remain on friendly terms.
In fact, when season 34 of DWTS premiered, Tran reflected on the first anniversary of her time as a celebrity competitor by sharing a series of photos and videos from the show on Instagram. Among them were clips of her rehearsing with Farber, who commented on her post with several heart-eye emojis.
