The Bachelorette’s Devin Strader Confirms He and Jonathon Johnson Are No Longer Friends

Devin Strader’s nasty split from Jenn Tran wasn’t the only relationship that ended after filming The Bachelorette. While responding to a fan’s comment via Instagram, the season 21 winner revealed that he and fellow contestant Jonathon Johnson are no longer buds.

“Thoughts on @jiggity.john are you st[i]ll friends with him??” a fan asked in a since-deleted comment, reported by TV Showcase.

Devin, 28, responded, “Jon loves the limelight more than being a friend – to each their own.”

Jenn, 26, and the third place contestant reunited shortly after her and Devin’s messy split played out during the After the Final Rose live finale in September. When Jenn and Devin announced their split during the episode, she revealed that he ended their engagement over the phone and quickly followed single Bachelor Nation alums on Instagram after their split.

After Jenn dropped the bombshells on stage, Jonathon, 28, held her up by praising his ex for holding “her head high” in a lengthy Instagram tribute.

“She has been an inspiration to women everywhere and I’m so proud of the way she carried herself throughout this process,” he wrote alongside the September 5 post.

He later added, “This WOMAN walked on stage, with her head held high, and handled herself with so much class and beauty that my jaw is on the floor. Jenn, from me, my family, and anyone that has had the absolute privilege of meeting you, you’re an incredible woman and we are SO proud of your journey. I will be cheering you on as you shake it down on DWTS and all the success after.”

At the end of the caption, Jonathon seemingly shaded Devin and the way he handled their split.
