Joey went on to propose marriage to Kelsey during his The Bachelor finale, and on the live After the Final Rose special that aired on March 25, Jenn was just announced as The Bachelorette's Season 21 star.
When asked how long it took her to heal and move on from her relationship with Joey, Jenn, 26, told Us Weekly, "You can't really put a time on processing a breakup."
"I think [you take it] just little by little," she added, "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."
Jenn spoke to the magazine after The Bachelor: The Women Tell All taping earlier this month.
Since Jenn's feelings for Joey were genuine and deep, she confirmed that she certainly believes in The Bachelor process.
"I definitely was falling in love with him," Jenn shared.
"I did tell him in Montreal, and those feelings were [real]. I was in the height of it in Jasper for sure."
Although Joey broke Jenn's heart before hometowns, Jenn insisted that she has "nothing but good things to say" about The Bachelor star.
"He was 100 percent himself the entire time," Jenn said.
"He's so genuine and he really just made me feel so safe the entire time I was there in terms of just being who I am. And he was just so open and receptive of everything, and he truly is an amazing guy."

Jenn will hopefully have more amazing men to choose from when she films her The Bachelorette season, which is scheduled to premiere this summer on ABC.
A potential cast of 28 potential suitors has already been announced by ABC, and Jenn will definitely have her hands full with some handsome faces.
When Jenn was announced as the new Bachelorette on After the Final Rose, the Physician Assistant currently living in Miami gushed about how it's a "surreal" experience to follow in The Bachelorette alum Charity Lawson's footsteps.
The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer asked Jenn what she's looking for in her future partner, and Jenn revealed she wants a man with "a big personality" as well as someone who "is all about having fun and all about having that cheeky banter."
The brunette beauty added, "I want someone who is going to be able to take it as much as they can dish it."
Jenn said it would be an "ideal night" if she and her partner just joke around and make fun of each other for hours. She also thinks it's very important for them to be compatible with one another.
Jenn, who will proudly be the first Asian American woman to star on the franchise, also shared how her "end goal" for starring on The Bachelorette is to have a diamond ring on her finger.

"I just have a renewed sense of hope," Jenn shared at the time.
"I'm just really excited, and I feel, more than ever, ready to find my person. I know what I deserve. I want an undeniably ruthless love, and I deserve 110 percent of it to be reciprocated."
