Who did Florida's Jenn Tran pick? What you missed on the heartbreaking 'Bachelorette’ finale

Jesse Palmer was finally right — this actually was the most dramatic "Bachelorette" finale ever.

For 10 weeks, we watched Jenn Tran, ABC's first Asian American Bachelorette, whittle 25 men down to the final two —28-year-old Devin Strader and 32-year-old Marcus Shoberg.

Viewers probably rolled their eyes as the show teased the classic "never-before-seen twist" all season long. But on Tuesday night's live finale, "Bachelor Nation" was shocked when 26-year-old Jenn's happy ending ended up not-so-happy.

It isn't the end of Jenn Tran on TV screens across the country, though. She will be trading in roses for dancing shoes and competing on this season of "Dancing with the Stars," she announced on a "Good Morning America" appearance on Wednesday, September 4.

Here's what happened on Jenn's intense finale, how "Bachelor Nation" is reacting, when you can watch Jenn on "Dancing with the Stars" and when we will see the next leads for "The Golden Bachelorette" and "The Bachelor" start their journeys.

Who did Jenn pick on 'The Bachelorette?' How did Jenn break up with Marcus?

In the end, Jenn chose Devin.

Prior to this, viewers watched Jenn's mother, Trinh, her aunt, Lylan, and brother, James, grill both men about their intentions and how they felt. While her brother expressed hesitancy with both Devin and Marcus, he told Jenn that Marcus, in particular, seemed similar to her past relationships.

Before Jenn's last chance date with Marcus even started, she broke things off with him because he was reluctant to express his feelings and love for her.

In Marcus's Hawaii hotel room, Jenn addressed his struggles with how he was feeling about her and asked if he loved her. In the end, she said she couldn't wait anymore for him to catch up.

"I opened my heart to you every second that I got," Jenn said. "And I think I got lost in it… I know that I'm worth it. I'm done hinging my future on somebody being afraid to lose me. I'm done waiting around for somebody to get there. I'm just done. I genuinely had so much hope for us."

In the hot seat on the finale, Marcus shared why he had trouble navigating his feelings and says while it was hard, they did the right thing. When Jenn joined him onstage, the pair were friendly and said they wanted the best for each other.

"The painful truth was that I wasn't living up to what [Jenn] said that she needed… She's one of the best women I've ever met in my life. The difficult truth there was that I needed to get out of her way."

Did Jenn get engaged on 'The Bachelorette?'

Yes, Jenn ended up getting engaged to Devin on the show. In an unprecedented decision, she actually decided to propose to him.

Before the proposal, Jenn and Jesse had a conversation in her hotel room and she told him that she woke up that morning with a totally different point of view on her engagement than she had the night before.

"I thought what was going to make me happiest? What was going to bring out the best version of me? What was going to bring me everything that I've been wanting my whole life?" Jenn said.

"I think to do that and to fulfill myself, I have to choose myself... I'm not going to let Devin propose to me today. I'm going to propose to Devin."

At this point, the audience was waiting for footage of a touching proposal between Jenn and Devin, but Jesse said that the way things ended, it's only right that Jenn speaks to the audience before the footage of the proposal is aired.

"This is normally when you'd watch a romantic proposal: Two people, very much in love, committing themselves to each other..." Jesse said. "You won't be seeing that proposal. Because of what has transpired since that day in Hawaii, we decided it wouldn't be appropriate for anyone to see it until we heard from Jenn."

The cameras then cut to a live clip of a very emotional, teary-eyed Jenn backstage before cutting to commercial.

'He basically said he didn't love me anymore' Did Devin and Jenn break up?

When the live finale came back from the very-poorly (or perfectly) timed commercial break, Jenn was sitting on stage with Jesse, alone, crying. She could barely even get a word out between sobs and sniffles.

She said it felt like feelings completely changed from "one day to the next."

"It's been a really hard couple of months," Jenn said. "We left Hawaii engaged, very happy. It was the happiest day of my life. I had thought that I found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And then, essentially, as soon as we left Hawaii, things were just different."

"It kind of just felt like he was pulling away all of the promises he'd made to me: of wanting to move somewhere together, wanting to have this future planned out and wanting to see each other all the time. Slowly he was just pulling away and the efforts were inconsistent. He wasn't calling as much, texting as much — I was confused, I didn't understand."

Jenn explained that she felt "secondary" to everything in Devin's life and she "didn't understand why." She explained that Devin broke off the engagement a month prior to the live finale, meaning the couple only stayed together for around two months after the show wrapped.

"He basically said he didn't love me anymore and didn't feel the same way and something had been off since the second he proposed," Jenn said. "He regretted getting engaged."

She said she tried to take the pressure of engagement off and suggested just dating and being together because she wanted a life with him, not a ring on her finger, but a relationship with her wasn't what he wanted anymore. She said Devin didn't want to go to couples' counseling or fight for the relationship anymore.

After her tearful recount of the breakup with Devin, Jesse brought Devin out on stage to sit next to Jenn for the couple's first face-to-face conversation since their breakup. She said she'd been trying to see him and have an off-camera conversation with Devin about everything, but never got it and said he "ghosted" her.

If looks could kill, Devin wouldn't have left the "Bachelorette" finale in one piece last night. While Devin faced icy glares from the audience and Jenn herself, Jenn kept talking about how disrespected and heartbroken she felt.

She called him out for ending the engagement via phone call and explained that the next morning she woke up to news of Devin following girls on Instagram — but not random girls. Devin followed Maria, who was a competitor of Jenn's on Joey's season of "The Bachelor." Maria was also rumored to be in Jenn's seat as the current "Bachelorette" but turned the role down.

"I can try to understand somebody changing their mind about the way they feel about somebody," Jenn told Devin. "What I can't understand is everything you did after you'd broken our engagement... Ending the engagement on a phone call, the next day I wake up to you following girls on Instagram — not just any girl, but Maria."

"Not only is that so disrespectful to everything we had shared together, I just don't understand why you would do something like that."

Devin didn't get many chances to speak between the live audience, Jenn and Jesse, but did take responsibility for his actions, saying he couldn't excuse his behavior.

"I'm not here to tell you you can't feel the way you feel. Obviously I failed you and there's nothing I can say other than that," Devin told Jenn. "Everything I felt for you was real."

Jenn didn't seem satisfied with that answer and dug up some more off-screen dirty laundry.

"Was it? Because you said 'Oh, I'm having such a hard time with this breakup,' and next thing you know, you're in New York clubbing with Jeremy," Jenn said.

Devin laughed. "I think this is a little different than the conversation I was hoping to have with you," Devin said. "I went there for a work trip, I met with a client."

"In the club?" Jenn responded. "I hope you had fun at the club."

"I did see Jeremy. Am I not allowed to live a life?" Devin said.

"I told you, when we left the show, I had a lot of doubts. And regretfully, and sadly, I repressed those feelings," Devin said. "And I did come clean to you about that. I was very honest. And one thing I think you can say here is that I have been honest with you-" Jenn cut him off to argue that he wasn't as honest with her as he made it seem.

"I was very honest with you at every step and every doubt," Devin said.

"No you weren't, until last month," Jenn said.

"I was regretfully late on letting you know," Devin said with a laugh. "You are one hundred percent right. I can only sit here and take accountability for my shortcomings. And I have no doubts that I have many more in your mind than there seems to be in mine, and I'm not denying that for you."

After a lot more back-and-forth of Jenn berating Devin for promising a life to her and not following through, Devin maintained that he didn't lie to her in the moment but his feelings changed after the show. As the tense conversation panned out to fade into a commercial break, viewers could hear a quick snippet of Devin talking to himself, saying "What is going on here?" with a laugh.

After the commercial break, Jesse gave Devin a (very short) time to have the floor and tell his side of the story.

"I'm not here to talk about post-breakup," Devin said. "I want to talk about the breakup that we talked about when it happened. I'm not here to de-value anything. You're an amazing woman and I fell short of that. There's nothing I can say when it comes to me lacking the ability to make you a priority in everyday life."

"You're sitting here and attributing it to me seeing a friend in New York. Can we just talk about the breakup please? ... At what point can we just focus on what happened — what hurt you? I'm hurt. You're hurt. We're both hurt. Can we focus on that, please?"

He said he "wasn't there to save face," and re-iterated that he found himself falling short of her expectations in the real world. The finale ended with a brutal turn — "Bachelor Nation" watched Jenn and Devin's live reactions to watching the footage from their emotional proposal.

"What do you think? Should we all watch it together?" Jesse asked Jenn.

"Do I have a choice?" she said.

The proposal was very emotional, with Jenn proposing to Devin and Devin proposing to her immediately after. The two rode away together, with no clue that just a few months later, they'd be in a heated discussion about their breakup on live television. In the corner of the screen, ABC showed Jenn and Devin's reactions to watching their proposal, which were solemn and tearful.

What happened to Jonathon on The Bachelorette?

Before it was revealed that Jenn and Devin's engagement fell through, the camera panned to where some of the men from Jenn's season (Jeremy, Hakeem and Jonathon) were sitting in the audience. Jesse asked Jonathon why he was at the finale and Jonathon said he was there to support Jenn because he heard how her journey ended.

Jonathon said he "heard rumors of how tonight might go," adding he wanted to come to support Jenn.

Palmer invited the fan-favorite to Bachelor in Paradise in 2025, but many fans expressed they wanted to see a "Jenn and Jonathon 2.0" after the finale.

'That was brutal' Fans react to season finale of The Bachelorette

As the drama unfolded, "Bachelor Nation" took to social media to share their support for Jenn and how disappointed they were with ABC for making her relive her failed proposal. Several viewers brought up how they felt she was "doomed from the start," saying the show didn't cast the right men for her.

"This may be the cruelest thing this show has ever done. I can’t believe they’re making her watch herself propose to this man after all this," one fan tweeted.

Will Jenn Tran be on Dancing with the Stars?

Following the most emotional and dramatic season finale of "The Bachelorette" yet, Jenn made an appearance on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, September 4, to announce that she'll be joining the next season of "Dancing with the Stars."

The 33rd season of "Dancing with the Stars" will air one day before the first episode of "The Golden Bachelorette," on Tuesday, September 17 at 8 p.m. EDT.

"Dancing with the Stars" will air on Tuesdays on ABC and Disney plus and episodes will be available to stream on Hulu the following day.

Who is going to be The Golden Bachelorette? When does it premiere?

Enjoy your quick break from "Bachelor" content, it will start back up in two weeks. ABC is embarking on "The Golden Bachelorette" with a fan-favorite from Gerry Turner's season — Joan Vassos, a 61-year-old private-school administrator from Maryland.

The spinoff will premiere this fall on Sept. 18, slotted for Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT. Episodes have a 90-minute timeslot, 30 minutes longer than the first season of the "The Golden Bachelor."

There will be two men from the Sunshine State competing for Vassos' heart alongside 22 others this season, including another familiar face from "Bachelor Nation."

Who is going to be the next Bachelor?

Grant Ellis, a 30-year-old day trader, was quietly announced as the lead for season 29 of "The Bachelor" earlier this month. He was eliminated by Jenn on episode six, right before hometowns.

"As the Bachelor, Ellis is eager to embark on a journey filled with romance, adventure, and genuine connections," ABC said in a news release. "He hopes to find a partner who shares his values of loyalty, humor and a deep appreciation for life’s simple pleasures."

Ellis will be only the second Black Bachelor lead in the reality dating show franchise's more than 20-year history. The first was Matt James during the 25th season of the show in 2021.

A date has not been announced for Ellis' season but historically, the Bachelor has premiered in January.
