What Happened With Jenn Tran and Ex Matt Rossi on 'The Bachelorette'?

Jenn, 26, took the day to think about her decision. She was caught off guard to hear Matt say he was in love with her since she thought they were just friends. Plus, she didn't want to hurt any of the other 11 men who she was still dating. Jenn filled the guys in on what was happening and explained that she needed to talk to Matt before moving on.

The other men weren't happy to hear about Matt potentially joining the show. Devin , who already had a rose from his one-on-one date, was particularly upset and said he would leave the show if Jenn let Matt stay.

During her conversation with Matt, Jenn questioned why he decided he was ready for a future with her now. He explained that it was "now or never" because she was going to be getting engaged on this show. Matt eventually addressed the group and revealed that Jenn decided not to pursue things with him. He apologized to everyone and left, officially ending things between him and Jenn.

The journey continued in New Zealand with Jonathon getting the first one-on-one date. The day began with a helicopter ride, during which Jenn had to give Jonathon a lot of reassurance due to his fear of helicopters. He was able to get past the fear and the date continued at a vineyard.

Both Jenn and Jonathon agreed that they needed to connect on more of an emotional level. On the nighttime portion of the date, Jonathon spoke about why he's bad at opening up. He explained that he was previously in a relationship with a woman who he thought he was going to spend the rest of his life with. However, Jonathon said when his ex started abusing alcohol, things got "out of hand" as she accused him of manipulating her and questioning his character. "It absolutely destroyed me to my core," Jonathon said of the relationship ending.

Then, Devin was chosen as the "farmer of the day, "which earned him some more one-on-one time with Jenn.

Austin was struggling because he had yet to receive a one-on-one date or group date rose. He admittedly didn't feel like his relationship with Jenn was as far along as some of the other guys'. Austin decided to eliminate himself because he didn't think he'd be able to give as much of himself to Jenn as everyone else had been. His exit left Jenn worried that the other men would start to leave too.

Jenn told the remaining six men on the group date that she was struggling with being vulnerable and she got reassurance from them that she could be as open as she needed to. Jenn decided not to give out a group date rose because she was so happy with how all of the men treated her during her difficult night.

Grant revealed that his father has been an addict for 30 years, but said that he decided to check into rehab just before Grant left to film The Bachelorette and is now two months sober. Jenn praised Grant for sticking by his dad through all the difficult times and explained that she also lacked a father figure in her childhood.
