The drama continues for Bachelor Nation as alum Maria Georgas<\/b><\/a> is drawn into the narrative surrounding Jenn Tran<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s split from her ex-fianc\u00e9, Devin Strader<\/a><\/strong>. The 30-year-old former contestant took to her Instagram Stories to announce that she is \u201cnot holding back this time.\u201d<\/p>\n During the \u201cAfter the Final Rose\u201d episode, 26-year-old Jenn revealed that Devin, 28, had grown distant and made her feel like a second priority in his life. She admitted, \u201c[Devin] basically said he didn\u2019t love me anymore and didn\u2019t feel the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cI thought I had found the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with, but as soon as we left Hawai\u2019i, things were different. It felt like he was pulling away. His efforts were inconsistent\u2014he wasn\u2019t calling or texting as much. I was confused; I didn\u2019t understand because we had just left so happy.\u201d<\/p>\n On the live episode, Devin explained his decision to end the relationship: \u201cI found myself falling short of those expectations in the real world. I found myself unable to live up to the things that you need and deserve. I watched myself contribute to your regression, and that hurt me. You don\u2019t deserve to compromise your standards to be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Maria has SPOKEN. #thebachelorette<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/03Qbx1rHrR<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 zacharyreality (@zacharyreality) September 4, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Maria, who met Jenn during their time on Joey Graziadei<\/b><\/a>\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>season of The Bachelor<\/em>, has been caught up in the drama due to being followed on social media by Devin after he ended his engagement with Jenn over the phone.<\/p>\n In an Instagram Story posted by Maria, and later shared on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter) by user @zacharyreality on Wednesday, September 4, she wrote<\/a>, \u201cJust got back from a peaceful trip. This is not something I wanted to come home to, but I have something to say, and I won\u2019t be holding back this time.\u201d<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time Maria has been linked to Jenn\u2019s love journey. Before the season began, Maria \u00a0<\/span>revealed<\/span><\/a> during a podcast episode of \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d that she had been offered the role of Bachelorette but turned it down. \u201cThey asked me, and I had the choice, and I chose to do it. I said yes\u2026 The narrative that\u2019s out there now is disappointing. To come back from this incredible journey and see all the speculation around it felt like it took away from what my journey was,\u201d Jenn responded<\/span><\/a> to these claims in a separate interview on the podcast.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\n
