Amid the ongoing drama between Jenn Tran and Devin Strader, the "Bachelorette" star, who is set to compete on this season of "Dancing With the Stars" just revealed who her celebrity crush is.
Who Is Jenn Tran's Celeb Crush?
Following her split from Devin, Jenn now has her eye on a new crush—NBA star Max Strus of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
When on the latest episode of "The Viall Files," Jenn revealed her admiration for Strus and hinted that she's eager for him to reach out. Though the stunning reality TV star also shared that she's not planning to dive back into the dating scene following her tumultuous split from her ex-fiancé, she says she may change her mind if the NBA star ever reached out.
"Max Strus, if you're out there and you're here, I'm single. I'm here. I'm ready," Jenn said on the podcast.
She also said she would make an exception if Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum were to reach out until she was informed he's currently dating singer Ella Mai.
Strus is currently single, but it is unclear if he's ready to mingle.
Jenn Tran Reflects On Messy Split From Devin Strader
After the dramatic end to their engagement, Jenn said she is taking time to focus on herself. She also expressed her disappointment over Devin's decision to share their private text messages on social media, describing the move as a betrayal and an invasion of privacy.
“I felt so betrayed, so disrespected and, honestly, just upset and disappointed,” she told podcast host and former "Bachelor" star Nick Viall. “I don’t have a problem with him going out there and saying what he needs to say, but I have a problem with him invading my privacy and releasing texts without telling me [and] without giving me notice.”
“Also some of the things, he conveniently blurred out certain things but forgot to blur out other things that were very, very private," she added. "Like, my mom’s on the internet, dude, what’s up with that? It was disrespectful and I don’t appreciate it at all.”
Devin Strader Apologizes For Sharing The Text Messages
Following backlash over his decision to post private text messages, Devin quickly issued an apology on his Instagram Story and removed the original video.
He later shared a revised version without the screenshots, but that, too, has since been deleted.
Devin has not commented further on the situation. Jenn, for her part, opted not to view the content of the video. “I don’t plan on it. I know what happens, I don’t need to watch a 13-minute video on it,” she said. “He’s wasted, already, six months of my life; I’m not going to give him another second let alone 13 minutes. I’m all set.”
How Did Jenn Tran Find Out About The Texts?
Jenn was first informed about Devin’s claims and the ensuing drama via her inner circle. Friends and acquaintances reached out through calls and texts to update her on the situation after the news broke, as Jenn chose not to watch the video herself.
“He’s allowed to have a side to the story, like, he was a part of this relationship too,” the Bachelor Nation star said. “He has all the rights to say whatever he wants to say, and I’ll say it, he had time at AFR to say it. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t hear very much of anything, so he had time to share his peace."
She added, "If he thinks that he wants to share more, he’s more than welcome to do that, [but] what I don’t condone is invading my privacy and going out and doing that.”
