Jonathon was even crowned "Mr. Thunder Down Under" during the infamous striptease group date, but he continued to go deeper with Jenn and shed his layers.

Over dinner that evening, Jenn and Jonathon discussed the emotional distress they've experienced in life, and Jonathon explained how he struggles to trust women after going through a challenging relationship in his past.

Jonathon and Jenn could relate to each other on many different levels, and Jonathon told Jenn that he cared for her deeply. Jenn, in turn, appreciated how the bachelor challenged her.

"An engaged life with Jonathon," Jenn began.

"We'd be living in San Diego. I love San Diego. We'd be playing lacrosse on the weekends, bringing the kids out and teaching them lacrosse. I'd have kids with Jonathon."

Jonathon Johnson lived with a woman for two years prior to The Bachelorette

Jonathon was in a very serious relationship before meeting Jenn that ultimately fell apart in one of the worst ways.

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.

"It reached a breaking point for her where she just snapped and said, 'Get the f-ck out! I don't want to see you again,'" he continued. "It tore me down... and absolutely destroyed me to my core."

Jonathon said he had grown up being a hopeless romantic and so this toxic relationship really had a negative impact on his outlook on love.
