Jen initially found fame when she competed on Season 20 of The Bachelor starring Ben Higgins in 2016.
Jen got eliminated in Week 5 but looked for love again on Bachelor in Paradise's third and sixth seasons.
On Bachelor in Paradise's third edition, Jen made a romantic connection with Nick Viall, but he was coming off two heartbreaks following his back-to-back appearances on The Bachelorette's tenth and eleventh seasons, starring Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe, respectively.

Jen and Nick made it to the Final Rose Ceremony on Bachelor in Paradise's third season, but he decided not to propose marriage.

Nick actually dumped Jen in a tear-filled moment during the show's finale in 2016. He said he never fell in love with the brunette beauty, and although he tried to force it, his heart was closed off -- maybe not just to her, but rather to women in general.
"I wanted to say I was in love with you, but something in my heart just said I can't. Sometimes you wish you could tell your heart what to do, and if I could, I would tell it to choose you," Nick told Jen.
"I just feel like something's telling me to say goodbye. I'm sorry. My biggest fear is that I'm going to regret it."
According to Jen's good friend Lauren Himle, Nick reunited with Jen after Paradise wrapped filming in June 2016 and they dated again.
The couple allegedly split for good once Nick was offered the position to star on The Bachelor's 21st season.

However, in a December 2016 interview before Nick's The Bachelor season premiered, he denied ever reconciling with Jen and ending their relationship to be The Bachelor star.
"None of that was remotely true," Nick insisted at the time.
Jen had "mixed emotions" about Nick taking on The Bachelor role in 2017, according to Us Weekly, but she said she was doing well and had "moved on" during an After Paradise episode.

Nick is currently dating model and surgical technician Natalie Joy, and a source told Us in November 2021 that the couple could get engaged "very soon."
Nick's The Bachelor season ended with Nick getting engaged to winner and Canadian teacher Vanessa Grimaldi; however, the pair split in August 2017.
