As Devin recalled in his video, he didn’t know what had been discussed before he walked onto the AFR stage Sept. 4, and he thought he and Jenn were in a good place. So, he was surprised to find out, to put it simply, they weren’t.
“Frankly I was stunned and frankly I was shocked and had no words at the way that our relationship was being depicted on TV,” he added. “It was absolutely asinine. It was really, really disheartening to hear the way Jenn described it because it wasn’t true and we both knew it wasn’t true. But I didn’t want to fight with her.”
But Jenn isn’t sure what Devin had expected.
“What did he think was gonna happen?” she asked on Nick Viall‘s podcast. “Was I just gonna shake his hand and say, ‘OK, have a good day, like, nice knowing you.'”
Jenn also noted she wasn’t blindsided by ABC showing her proposal after her tearful talk about the split.
“They’re very conscientious of my feelings around that day and how anxious I was,” she said on Off the Vine With Kaitlyn Bristowe. “So I was walked through every single part of that day. They tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible. But I didn’t know how emotional I was going to be.”
And ultimately, Jenn is glad Devin saw the clip.
“I wanted him to watch that moment and to realize how badly he had hurt me,” she added. “Because I don’t know in what world somebody can get down on one knee and promise your life to somebody and then the next day not actually mean those things.”
