'The Bachelorette's Jenn Tran says she had "midlife crisis" after 'Dancing with the Stars' exit

The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran has admitted she had a "midlife crisis" once her time on Dancing with the Stars came to an end.


"Get ready with me and let's talk about life after Dancing with the Stars," Jenn, 26, said in a Tiktok video she posted Saturday, November 16.

While doing her makeup, Jenn shared, "Okay, I was having a little bit of a midlife crisis for a hot second after I was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars, but now, we're back and I finally found a will to live again."

Jenn recently said she's still living in Los Angeles, crashing on her Dancing with the Stars' pro partner Sasha Farber's couch, but she intends on eventually going back to school in Miami, FL, to become a Physician Assistant.


"Honestly I'm not going to lie. I was maybe being dramatic slash I really just loved being on the show so much," Jenn said, "so it was really hard to go from literally dancing every day all the time to suddenly the next day not dancing."

Jenn acknowledged how having so much downtime after her Dancing with the Stars elimination in late October was "really weird."

"I didn't know what to do! It's kind of like going through a breakup" Jenn noted.

"I felt like I broke up with dancing and I didn't know if it was going to take me back or not."

Jenn elaborated, "It is kind of like breaking up with somebody because you're in constant contact with them every day, and then the next day you're not. It's like an immediately ghost -- nothing. Dancing ghosted with me."


However, Jenn said she's not ready to hang up her dancing shoes just yet.

"I've decided that I'm going to continue dance classes," The Bachelor alum revealed.

"And yes, right now, Sasha is teaching me how to dance, here and there. [We make] little TikTok videos, little tidbits."

But Jenn said she'd like to start taking dance lessons on her own as well.


"I used to think was kind of weird, but now I'm like, 'You know what? I don't care what anybody thinks, I'm just going to do it,'" Jenn continued.

Jenn said she discovered there are dance classes for adults out there and so she's "really excited" about what's to come.

"I think before when I was in my denial, anger, bargaining phase of getting off of Dancing with the Stars, everyone's telling me, 'It's fine. You can still take dancing classes,'" Jenn recalled.

"And I'm like, 'Well, what for? What am I dancing for? Like, what am I going to post on TikTok? Nobody cares about that.'"

But Jenn realized that she's "not doing it for anybody" but herself.


"When I was on the show, every time I was dancing, it was just because I really loved it. I don't know about you guys -- and I don't know if I'm supposed to say this -- but I never really cared about winning the Mirrorball [Trophy]," Jenn admitted.

"I mean, yeah, obviously I'm in the competition for a reason, but I was like, 'I really just want to make it to the end so that I can just dance and take every second of this experience that I can.'"

Jenn therefore insisted that she "didn't care" how she placed in the competition.

Jenn -- who was ousted from Dancing with the Stars one week shy of the semifinals -- said, "Is that weird?!... I was just really excited to dance!"

Jenn explained how she plans to dance for herself going forward and it will "still feel good" and be "good for the soul."


Dancing with the Stars fans have been speculating for weeks whether Jenn and Sasha are currently dating.

Jenn played coy about her relationship status during the November 14 episode of the "Sorry We're Cyrus" podcast.

"BFFs for life, man," Jenn told Tish Cyrus and Brandi Cyrus of Sasha, 40.

When asked if there's "any dating potential" between the former Dancing with the Stars partners, Jenn replied, "I don't know."

Jenn giggled and added, "I can't predict the future in any way."

But Jenn did make it clear that she'd love to participate in Dancing with the Stars' upcoming tour.

After Jenn noted she'd "love nothing more" than to be a part of the live show, Tish joked, "How fun to go on tour with your boyfriend?"

Jenn replied, "Oh, god. If you say boyfriend, he's going to freak out."

Brandi acknowledged how there are many terms to use when defining a relationship, such as "partner," to which Jenn quipped, "Partner, husband, baby daddy."

While Jenn and Sasha certainly bonded and grew close when competing on Dancing with the Stars' 33rd season, Jenn gave a little more insight into what their lives are like backstage.

"We bicker every day of our lives. We bicker a lot," Jenn admitted, adding, "Now that I've seen Sasha after Dancing with the Stars, relaxed, I'm like, 'Oh, this is what you're actually like!'"


Jenn explained how Sasha was constantly "in the process" and thinking about dance steps during the Dancing with the Stars season, which she totally understood and appreciated.

"I was a little annoyed [when that's all he talked about], but I get it," Jenn said. "He's also so stubborn. We butt heads a little bit."

Jenn also revealed that "a lot of things" surprised her about Sasha, such as the fact he's "a neat freak."

Jenn joked, "It's endearing, but sometimes I'm like, 'Can you just shut the damn vacuum down?!'"

Jenn's podcast appearance dropped one day after Sasha uploaded a cozy pic of the pair smiling and hugging each other on a beach via Instagram.

"Days like this make everything better!!!!" Sasha captioned the photo, to which Jenn commented, "She a cutie."


The post prompted many fans to ask if it was a "hard launch" of their romance, especially since Jenn had previously teased that she and Sasha were having "private rehearsals" post-Dancing with the Stars.

The Bachelorette alum Jonathon Johnson -- who had finished Jenn's season in third place -- even noticed, apparently.

Jonathon appeared to address Jenn and Sasha's alleged hard launch by posting a TikTok video in which he issued a warning not to make the same mistake twice.

Jonathon was seemingly comparing Jenn's alleged romance with Sasha, who was previously married to DWTS pro Emma Slater, to her broken engagement to her The Bachelorette 21 winner Devin Strader.

Jenn is apparently open to new opportunities -- except looking for love on Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season next year.

However, Jenn noted that she's "leaning into fun Jenn" for the time being.


"I was engaged. I was at a point where I thought I was going to get married, enough to settle down, which was great. I was excited about it," Jenn explained.

"But now I'm kind of like, 'Let's get back out there and just relax for a second and just enjoy life right now.' And I just moved here, I don't want to be tied down to anything."
