"Really Thirsty": Jenn Tran Lights Up Valentine-Themed Stanley Promo with Ex-DWTS Partner Sasha Farber

Jenn Tran, season 21 star of “The Bachelorette,” hinted her relationship with “Dancing With the Stars” pro Sasha Farber was heating up for the fast-approaching February holiday as she called herself “really thirsty” in a new Instagram clip.

The 27-year-old reality star and social media maven used the suggestive play on words to promote the “Berry Truffle Quencher” water bottle by Stanley, a brand that went explosively viral after being spotted in use by dozens of top TikTok influencers and became perhaps the most ubiquitous trendy item of 2020 and 2021.

In the flirtatious clips, which Tran posted to her Instagram Stories on January 21, the reality star perched on a green velvet couch while Farber, 40, reclined behind her as she slyly told her over half a million followers, “Valentine’s Day is coming up really quickly. And you know what it has me thinking? I’m getting reallyyy thirsty.”

Farber laughed, “You said you’re thirsty? Keep talking.”

The dance pro called the brunette beauty “babe” several times before she went on to say, “Yeah, I’m like really thirsty right now. Thank God I have this new Stanley.”

She gleefully took several sips from the tumbler before romantically revealing, “Somebody got this for me for Valentine’s Day.”

The playful exchange is sure to have delighted the duo’s fans, who have been rooting for a relationship since the former “Dancing With the Stars” partners first brought their steamy chemistry to the ballroom floor in September 2024.

Tran showed off her moves on the show’s 33rd season after wrapping up her run as “The Bachelorette.” Although her ballroom days came to an abrupt halt when she was surprisingly eliminated after the show’s week 7 Halloween episode (despite scoring a perfect 10), her social media popularity clearly proves she won the hearts of her fans.

Jenn Shared a Romantic Day Out With Sasha & Gourmet Dinner Snaps After Posting the Cuddly Clips

Following the cute couch vids in which she playfully promoted the special edition cup, Tran shared snaps of a coffee run with Farber.

Farber, dressed in a warm-looking twill coat and round shades, showed his chivalry as he opened the door for his companion before lining up to place his order at Alfred Coffee, an aesthetically decorated coffee shop whose floral walls frame the motto, “BUT FIRST COFFEE.”

Later that night, Tran’s updates to her Instagram Stories continued as she shared sumptuous shots of a gourmet dinner at the ritzy BLVD Steak restaurant in Sherman Oaks. On Tran’s menu of decadent courses were pretzel bread, crab cocktail, lobster skewers, and sea bass, among other delights.

For the dinner, Tran paired light-wash jeans with a cream-colored sweater which a tag in the post revealed was from Aritzia. A Michael Kors logo was affixed to her maroon mini bag, and her brown suede boots appeared to be the “Women’s Asher Boots” by the same brand, judging by their shade, height, and unique detail of a furry ankle cuff and side stripe.

Farber’s face wasn’t featured in any of the dinner-date shots, but his presence was suggested as a male hand came into the frame to cut a caramel-swirled chocolate lava cake.

Although the two have never publicly commented on their relationship, fans have considered the pair “Instagram official” ever since a December 2024 kissing shot shared by Tran appeared to confirm the romance. The two now have a legion of fans cheering them on.

The pair’s admirers have even started a Reddit sub-forum dedicated to news and updates about the couple, which has garnered over 4,000 members since it began.

Jenn Tran Wasn’t the Only ‘Bachelorette’ Alum to Promote the Festive New Stanley Tumbler

Tran’s V-Day Stanley love was shared by former “Bachelorette” contestant Charity Lawson, 29, who was also seen posing with the pink cup on her own Instagram Stories.

The star, who famously became engaged to Dotun Olubeko at the conclusion of the dating show’s season 20, shared a solo pic in which she sportily posed in a pink and purple athleisure set while clutching the coveted cup.

The rose-toned tumbler, which unsurprisingly sold out in less than a day, is now being sold by collectors on eBay for over $100.

Aside from being Stanley-obsessed, Lawson shares another connection with Tran, as they have both formerly starred on television with Joey Graziadei, another fan-favorite member of the “Bachelor” universe.

Graziadei, who fell for Lawson during her run as “The Bachelorette,” shared his heartbreak at finishing as the season’s runner-up before being selected as the new “Bachelor” for season 28, during which he eliminated Tran during week 7, leaving her as the fourth runner-up.

Although Graziadei and winner Kelsey Anderson have appeared overjoyed together since their engagement, ScreenRant reported in January 2025 that a breakup could be brewing.
