Maria Georgas has recently responded to Jenn Tran’s remarks from the intense finale of “The Bachelorette,” clarifying that she is not involved with Jenn’s former partner, Devin Strader, and has no intention of pursuing a relationship with him. In a TikTok video posted late Thursday, Maria addressed the controversy that arose after Jenn criticized Devin for following her on social media shortly after their breakup.
Jenn’s outburst during the finale spotlighted Devin’s actions, leading to public speculation about Maria’s connection to him. Maria commended Jenn for her courage in discussing their breakup publicly but urged fans to temper their speculation, emphasizing that she isn’t aware of every person who follows her online.
Maria revealed that she was unaware of Devin’s follow until after he had already unfollowed her, indicating that any perceived interest on his part was not on her radar. She clarified that while people frequently follow each other on social media, she has never met Devin in person.
However, Maria has interacted with Jeremy Simon, another contestant from Jenn’s season, in a social setting, but she noted that their interactions were part of a larger group of friends. Interestingly, Maria hinted that while dating former partners is not uncommon in the reality TV world—citing examples from shows like “Bachelor in Paradise”—she is not considering dating Devin.
She elaborated on her stance in the video, which provides more insight into her position. For context, during the dramatic season finale, Jenn deviated from the expected format by proposing to Devin, only for their relationship to deteriorate soon after their departure from Hawaii. Jenn has since shared that Devin effectively ended communication with her, further fueling the drama.
