Jenn uploaded a handful of beautiful photos of herself and quipped, "Proof of life!!!!!!!!"
"Past couple of months have been crazy but I'm back, I'm grateful, and it's only just the beginning," she added.
Jesse noticeably commented on Jenn's post, "'Past few months have been crazy' is an understatement..."
Just last week, ABC released the first official promo for Jenn's The Bachelorette season, which is set to premiere Monday, July 8 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
As Jenn smiled and posed in a sexy red dress, the phrase "The Power Is In Her Hands" flashed on the screen.
Earlier this year, Jenn spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how viewers are "not going to get" a polished version of herself when they tune in and watch The Bachelorette this summer.
"You're not going to get '[Meek] and Perfect Jenn.' You're going to get 'Crazy Jenn,' and that's the beautiful part of it," Jenn boasted of her approach to dating on The Bachelorette.
Jenn said she was going to bring "a fiery energy" and a lot of flirtation to the set, adding how she planned to be unapologetically herself on-camera.
Jenn, who is "breaking the mold" as The Bachelor franchise's first-ever Asian Bachelorette, added how fans will see all "the good, the bad, the chaotic and psychotic."
ABC already announced a list of 28 potential bachelors, but her official cast will be unveiled at a later date.

Going into filming The Bachelorette, Jenn told ET that she had been hoping to find a man who is authentically himself and will "ground" her and put her in her place sometimes. However, Jenn noted that playful, cheeky banter with a man is very important in her relationships.
Jenn will be shown handing out roses after having her heart broken by Joey Graziadei on The Bachelor's 28th season.
The Bachelorette's previous star, Charity Lawson, officially announced Jenn as the new Bachelorette live on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, which aired on March 25.
Given Charity had passed the torch onto Jenn, she predicted how Jenn was going to handle the high-pressure dating environment during an April episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.
"Jenn is incredible. Watching her on Joey's season, she definitely, I feel like, this will test her in different ways," Charity told the podcast's co-hosts, Bachelor in Paradise spouses Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt, during her joint interview with fiance Dotun Olubeko.
"I'm curious to see how that's going to play out, because I always say that even the most sound people coming on this show, like, struggle. And I can tell -- I don't want to blame her age, but [given she's 26-years-old] I can just see certain things."
Charity continued, "I'm like, 'Oh, these are qualities I had, and I've grown from that and I've learned from that.' So it will definitely be interesting to see it play out."

Charity, however, said she's "really excited" for Jenn to have her own journey to find love.
"I know that finding her person is something she really, really wants," Charity said, which is a notion fan-favorite Maria Georgas has also agreed with. "So I hope she obviously takes it serious."
Charity admitted the audience's reaction to Jenn's casting announcement on After the Final Rose was "definitely mixed," but she thinks viewers will grow to love the bubbly brunette.
"I think initially everyone was like, you know, [surprised]," Charity recalled. "I think [the consensus] was, 'Oh it's going to be [Maria Georgas],' and so I think people were waiting [to hear her name]."
Charity elaborated, "I think everyone's brain was kind of like, 'Wait a second, okay that's not the name we just heard. It's Jenn -- yay!' So the applause kind of came a little bit after."
Charity said once fans got over the initial shock, the rest of the night was "a celebration" and everyone seemed genuinely "thrilled" for Jenn.
Jenn's journey on The Bachelor's 28th season was cut short when Joey eliminated her before hometown dates.
Jenn was smitten with Joey on The Bachelor, but he chose to advance Kelsey Anderson, Daisy Kent, Maria Georgas, and Rachel Nance instead.
Joey went on to propose marriage to Kelsey during his The Bachelor finale, and the couple is still together. Joey and Kelsey are planning to move to New York together in July or August, once Kelsey's lease in New Orleans is up.
When asked how long it took her to heal and move on from her relationship with Joey, Jenn told Us Weekly earlier this year, "You can't really put a time on processing a breakup."
"I think [you take it] just little by little," she shared, "and one day you just stop thinking about it. It just took a lot of my friends bringing me ice cream and a lot of that."
