Despite dumping Devin dumped her just three months later.

During their appearance on The Bachelorette season 21 finale, Devin revealed he'd been nursing some doubts about their relationship, which he had waited too long to tell her. Nonetheless, Jenn didn't accept Devin's explanation and accused him of having one leg out of their relationship the entire time. Despite being an early fan favorite, Devin's reputation within The Bachelorette fanbase has crashed.

Devin Faked His Love For Jenn

Devin Was Never Interested in Commitment

For most of The Bachelorette season 21, Devin was the 'Pete Davidson clone' whose humor and mischief swept Jenn off her feet early into the season. Devin's knack for always stealing Jenn from the other contestants reflects a man in love with Jenn and wants to have her all to himself. However, all that goodwill evaporated when they dumped Jen shortly after their engagement.

Devin's statement of having doubts about his relationship with Jenn mere weeks after the show ended is questionable, considering he spent eight weeks pleading his love for her and not once taking a step back. Devin's decision betrayed everything he portrayed himself as throughout. In retrospect, Devin's The Bachelorette season 21 stint can be summarised as the story of a man who appeared on the show to play the love game and withdrew all his chips when the game got real.

Devin Disrespected Jenn After Their Breakup

Devin Sends Jenn a Subtle Dig

Jenn's detailed of how her relationship with Devin crashed was an eye-opener to the disrespectful manner in which Devin handled their breakup. During The Bachelorette finale, while revisiting their breakup, Jenn revealed that Devin explained he didn't love her anymore and regretted getting engaged over the phone. Devin then worsened the situation by following fellow The Bachelor contestant Maria Georgas on social media.

Instead of expressing remorse for taking too long to air his doubts about the relationship while giving Jenn false hope, Devin only tried to pin as much blame as possible on Jenn.

Maria was initially billed to be The Bachelorette season 21 lead before it was offered to Jenn, and Devin's decision to follow her after dumping Jenn was quite disrespectful. Not only did it send a message that he had moved on so quickly after breaking her heart, but it also silently implied that she was probably never his first choice. Although Devin apologized for his behavior, his decision to follow Maria just days after dumping Jenn reflected his true intentions.

Devin Was Unremorseful About Hurting Jenn

Devin Looked To the Blame Around

After the news of Jenn and Devin's split, the 28-year-old Texan took to Instagram to address his split from Jenn. In a 13-minute video, Devin explained he felt anxiety about their relationship and that he had to make a decision based on his "own happiness." Devin also accused Jenn of trying to break up with him before their split, although he was the one who ultimately called off the relationship.

Throughout the clip, one noticeable thing was Devin's selfishness and attempts to avoid ability for breaking Jenn's heart. Instead of expressing remorse for taking too long to air his doubts about the relationship while giving Jenn false hope, Devin only tried to pin as much blame as possible on Jenn. Despite being regarded as one of the fan favorites during the season, Devin ended his The Bachelorette season 21 journey as the season's ultimate villain.
