Jonathon Johnson was sent home by Jenn Tran on The Bachelorette season 21, but what's he up to after his time on the hit ABC show? Jenn's journey in The Bachelor franchise has been marred by heartbreak and insincerity. She first appeared on Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor but didn't forge a long-lasting connection with the season's star. However, when she was selected to star in The Bachelorette season 21, Jenn was celebrated as the first Asian-American star of the spin-off.
Unfortunately, Jenn's victory was short-lived. Insincere suitors like Sam McKinney plagued this season of The Bachelorette, and Devin Strader threatening to leave The Bachelorette proved the show didn't care about its lead. Production scrambled to fix their mistakes by announcing Grant Ellis as The Bachelor early, but it was difficult to cover up Jenn's disastrous season. As fans await The Bachelor season 29, questions about Jenn's relationship with Jonathon after the show have arisen. Will they get together?
Jonathon's Journey With Jenn Tran On The Bachelorette
They Bonded Over Shared Experiences
Jonathon made an impression on Jenn when he stepped out of that limo wearing only a hospital gown and a mask over his entire face. With a bracelet reading "lovesick," he asked Jenn to unwrap his mask, revealing his face. Jenn fell for his entrance and consistently ranked him highly throughout the season. The 28-year-old creative director found his passion in travel, listening to music, and even doing escape rooms, revealing an adventurous side. He also professed to treat women respectfully, as he would want others to treat his mom and sister.
Jonathon was a true gentleman on The Bachelorette from the start, but he was also fun and lighthearted.
Jonathon proved from the beginning that he was willing to do anything it took to win over Jenn's heart, always putting her first and placing his ego to the side. He would joke around and make her laugh, never taking himself too seriously. Jenn and Jonathon were raised by single mothers, which brought them closer together. Jonathon and Jenn grew closer when he opened up about past relationships, sharing vulnerable details about an ex struggling with alcohol misuse. Unlike Sam, he seemed to share his genuine self with Jenn.
Unfortunately, Jonathon and Jenn didn't feel a strong romantic connection, and they didn't want to have a long-distance relationship, with Jonathon moving to Hawaii. While Jonathon seemed better for Jenn than Marcus Shoberg or Devin, she ultimately chose to send him home. However, their story didn't end when Jonathon went home before The Bachelorette season 21 finale.
