Jonathon Johnson: 10 things to know about 'The Bachelorette' star Jenn Tran's bachelor Jonathon Johnson

Jonathon Johnson secured a rose after hometowns, but Jenn Tran needs the bachelor to open his heart to her in order to progress their relationship on The Bachelorette.


Jonathon is a 27-year-old from Los Angeles, CA, who developed a "special" and "unspoken" energy with Jenn on The Bachelorette's 21st season.

Jenn confessed to Jonathon's family that she could see herself falling in love with the bachelor and that they were "on the cusp of that."

But Jonathon was still cautious during his hometown date, telling his mother, "I have worries, like, during this time I've spent with her, is this the Jenn she wants me to see or is this what she really is?"

Jonathon's loved ones advised him to let his walls down and take a risk for love, and so Jonathon decided to let Jenn know how he was feeling.


"Am I getting there? 100 percent. When I said this would be the thing to open my eyes, it would be impossible for me not to say that I am... Jennifer Tran, I am falling for you," Jonathon said.

"Jonathon Johnson, I am also falling for you," Jenn responded with a big smile.

Jonathon explained that at one point, things got out of hand and they got into a big fight.

"She would question my character and say that I was abusive, controlling and manipulative for questioning what she was doing. [She used] words that kind of haunt me still to this day," Jonathan admitted.
