Jenn Tran Reflects on Her ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Experience After Surprising Elimination: ‘I'm So Proud’
Feeling grateful…
Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Jenn Tran on Season 28 of “The Bachelor” and again on Season 21 of “The Bachelorette.”
Since her time on the shows, the former Bachelorette has been competing on “Dancing with the Stars” alongside former Bachelor Joey Graziadei.
Jenn has been improving her scores every week and performing dances in all types of styles from contemporary to the cha-cha and the paso doble.
This week, Jenn and her dance partner Sasha Farber were eliminated from the competition despite receiving one of the highest scores of the night and winning the dance-off against Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik.
Jenn and Sasha danced a contemporary number to Olivia Rodrigo’s song “Vampire” and she received her first 10s of the season, leaving Bachelor Nation fans shocked when she got sent home.
Now the Bachelor Nation star has taken to social media to share about her experience on “Dancing with the Stars” and her gratitude for the opportunity.
She wrote, “This was a tough one. Been trying to find the words to describe what this experience has meant to me but all I can say is I truly poured my heart and soul into the past couple of months and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to live out my dreams on this show.”
Jenn also gave a glimpse into her experience working with her dance partner Sasha.
She said, “Every day I felt like the luckiest girl in the world whether it was rehearsing in the studio, dancing in a parking lot, watching Sasha choreograph in the car, or practicing our dance backstage before each show to calm our nerves. Every moment big and small was filled with beauty, happiness and excitement simply because I had an amazing partner @sashafarber1 with the biggest heart❤️”
Jenn has expressed in the past wanting to learn how to dance but didn’t know how or where to start. Now, she’s revealed how it feels to accomplish this goal.
The former Bachelorette shared, “Dancing is something I’ve always wanted to pursue but never thought I had the talent for mostly because I’m so clumsy but I’m so proud of what I’ve accomplished and I hope it shows that you can do anything you put your mind to!!!!!”
Jenn finished her post by giving thanks to everyone who supported her and Sasha over the past seven weeks.
“Thank you to everyone who has rooted for us and been a part of our journey,” she expressed. “Because of your support we’ve gotten to share some beautiful and magical dances together. I hope one day we’ll be able to recreate the magic again.”
Jenn’s fellow Bachelor Nation stars and ‘DWTS’ dancers filled her post with comments of love and support.
Daisy Kent wrote, “You did so amazing, proud of you ❤️ so much more wonderful things to come for you!”
Actress Chandler Kinney added, “You are such a gem of a human, Jenn🫶🏽 you brought so much light to that ballroom each week and I feel so lucky to have witnessed it. sosososooo grateful to have gone through this with you. i love you!!! 10s from me ALWAYS!!!”
Susie Evans, Rachel Recchia, and Katelyn DeBacker all chimed in, sharing how proud they are of Jenn.
