Bachelorette Jenn Tran has finally revealed her relationship status amid rumors she’s dating her season’s finalist Jonathon Johnson.
Jonathon came in third place on Season 21 of the show, when Jenn said goodbye in an emotional rose ceremony.
After winner Devin Strader broke off their engagement in a 15-minute phone call, Jenn has been reconnecting with Jonathon.
The pair walked the red carpet at an event on September 13, and Jenn, 26, has also shared TikTok videos of them together.
But she poured cold water on rumors they are dating again in an exclusive chat with The U.S. Sun at the Dream In Gold Emmys After Party at LA Academy on Sunday night.
She said: “I’m very much single at the minute.
“I’m enjoying my life, I’m taking a break from dating. I’m just focusing on myself for a while.”
Quizzed further on Jonathon, she added: “No comments on that. I’m just pouring my energy into myself. I have a lot going on at the moment.”
Fans have been rooting for the pair to come together, and Jenn heavily complimented Jonathon, saying he is “just so sweet” and “just so kind.”
Jonathon previously admitted he knew he was being sent home during the show, but has said he would be open to going on a date with Jenn if she changed her mind.
Jenn just signed a deal for DWTS Season 33 which premieres on September 17, and has been busy rehearsing for the past week.
It all happened very last minute but it’s very exciting and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

She says she has had plenty of support amid her breakup from dance partner Sasha Farber, and they have grown close during practice.
Jenn said: “I’m so happy I was partnered with Sasha.
“I couldn’t imagine being partnered with anyone else, we’re like the same person and we have so much fun.

“We go to lunch all the time, coffee all the time, we’re really good friends.
“He’s been really good through everything I’ve been through, so we’ve been leaning on each other.”
Sasha, 40, also finalized his divorce from his wife of four years, Emma Slater, in May – a year after they filed.
Meanwhile, Jenn was left blindsided after Devin dumped her, telling Bachelorette host Jesse Palmer: “I had thought that I found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.”
After the couple left Hawaii, she claimed communication with Devin broke down, and he started “pulling away” before he ended their engagement in August.
Jenn fought to keep the relationship going and asked Devin if he wanted to just date instead of being engaged, but he ended things with her.
She was then left furious after Devin shared his side of the story on Instagram, and leaked private texts from Jenn.
She said she now has him blocked on her phone.
Talking about why he ended things over the phone, he said, “I did try to meet up with her. I did try to go to the happy couple and she did not let me.”
“She kinda forced my hand,” he added.
Speaking on ‘The Viall Files’ podcast, Jenn 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.

“When you get engaged to somebody, when you’re dating somebody, your first thought is never, ‘Oh my gosh, these texts might actually be blasted for the whole world to see.’
“That is such an invasion of privacy, so when I heard about this I had so many friends and family texting and calling me about this, I truthfully felt so betrayed, so just disrespected, and honestly just upset and disappointed.”
She is now fully focused on DWTS, which she described as a “lifetime dream of mine.”
Jenn told The U.S. Sun: “I wanted to be on Dancing With The Stars before I was ever on The Bachelorette.
“It’s just such a feel-good show. It’s a show I’ve been watching since I was a kid. So truly it’s been a dream come true for me, I’ve always wanted to learn how to dance.
“I had a couple of meetings about it, but I didn’t think it was happening.
“I literally ran off stage at AFR [After The Final Rose] and was told in my dressing room that I’m going to be on Dancing With The Stars, it all happened very last minute but it’s very exciting and I couldn’t be more grateful.
“In two days is our first show, so we’ve had plenty of rehearsals. About a week. I feel good, I’m excited.”
