Max Strus Makes A Move After ‘The Bachelorette’ Star Jenn Tran Made Flirty Comments

Following her messy breakup with Devin Strader, the “Bachelorette” star boldly shot her shot at Cleveland Cavaliers NBA player Max Strus. During an appearance on Nick Viall‘s podcast last week, Jenn gushed about her admiration for Strus and hinted that she wouldn’t mind if he made the first move.

Although Jenn Tran has said she’s not rushing back into the dating world after her dramatic split from her ex-fiancé, she admitted she might reconsider if NBA star Max Strus decides to reach out.

The 26-year-old became engaged to Devin during the dramatic finale of “The Bachelorette” Season 21, but their split was confirmed during the live “After the Rose” special on September 3.

Things took a messy turn when Jenn accused Devin of joining the show solely for fame. In response, Devin fired back on Instagram with a 13-minute video, where he shared his side of the story and posted hundreds of text message screenshots.

Not only did she address Devin’s video on Nick Viall’s podcast, but she also revealed her celebrity crush. “Max Strus, if you’re out there and you’re here, I’m single. I’m here. I’m ready,” she said on the podcast.

After the news broke, the NBA star, who signed with the Boston Celtics for a brief stint and later found his footing with the Miami Heat, seemingly made his move on Jenn by hitting the follow button on her social media account.

Max is currently single. Could we see a new romance blossoming? Only time will tell.

After the dramatic end of their engagement, Jenn shared that she’s taking time to focus on herself. She also voiced her disappointment over Devin’s choice to publicly share their private text messages on social media, calling it both a betrayal and a serious invasion of her privacy.

“I felt so betrayed, so disrespected and, honestly, just upset and disappointed,” she told Nick Viall on his podcast. “I don’t have a problem with him going out there and saying what he needs to say, but I have a problem with him invading my privacy and releasing texts without telling me [and] without giving me notice.”

“Also some of the things, he conveniently blurred out certain things but forgot to blur out other things that were very, very private,” she added. “Like, my mom’s on the internet, dude, what’s up with that? It was disrespectful and I don’t appreciate it at all.”

Jenn first learned about Devin’s claims and the resulting drama through her inner circle. Friends and acquaintances contacted her with calls and texts to update her on the situation once the news broke, as Jenn opted not to watch the video herself.

While acknowledged that he is “allowed to have a side to the story” since “he was a part of this relationship too,” but it was wrong of him to “invade my privacy and going out and doing that.”

Just hours after she wrapped her “The Bachelorette” journey, Jenn was cast to compete in “Dancing With the Stars.”

“When one door closes…the next door suddenly has dancing shoes behind them,” she wrote on Instagram after the big news dropped. “So incredibly excited and grateful for this opportunity to do something I’ve always dreamed of doing!!!”

“Dancing With The Stars” premieres on Tuesday, September 17.
