As for how it felt to relive her Hawaiian engagement during the season 21 finale episode, Jenn admitted that the process has been a challenge.

During the live After the Final Rose broadcast, Jenn broke down in tears while sharing insight into the status of her relationship with Devin, 28

"It's been a really hard couple of months. We had left Hawaii engaged, very very happy. It was the happiest day of my life," she shared. "As soon as we had left Hawaii, things were just different. It kind of felt like he was pulling away, all the promises he had made to me of wanting to move somewhere together and have this future planned out."

As for what’s driving her on DWTS, Jenn shared on Good Morning America on Sept. 4, “I think heartbreak is the best motivator for success. So I’m out for blood. I’m ready.”
