Jenn Tran’s time on Dancing With the Stars was a healing experience, especially thanks to her partner, Sasha Farber.

Tran, 26, was announced as part of the season 33 cast just hours after her dramatic split from Devin Strader aired on The Bachelorette in September. In a recent interview with People, Tran credited Farber, 40, for being a guiding light amid the breakup backlash.

“He kept reminding me that it’s the stuff that’s not online that really matters, It’s your friends and family who know you the best that really matters,” she shared. “Right after the breakup, I was going through a lot of stuff being said online and stuff being spilled out, and I had to just turn my phone off.”

Tran explained, “Sasha really helped ground me and tell me that it’s my friends and family who really matter at the end of the day and everything’s going to blow over on social media and just keep doing me because, at the end of the day, I only have myself, right?”

Dancing With the Stars season 33 pair Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber’s alleged romance seemingly received a stamp of approval from her brother, James Tran.

During The Bachelorette’s September 3 finale and After the Final Rose special, it was revealed that Tran and Strader, 28, broke up after getting engaged on the show, with Tran claiming he began “pulling away” and eventually ended things over the phone.

Strader later shared his side of the story by posting screensH๏τs of his texts with Tran via social media, which she wasn’t happy about. “I have no idea why someone would do this, let alone someone I was engaged to, [and] release private texts between us two,” she said during a September episode of “The Viall Files” podcast. “When you get engaged to somebody [or] when you’re dating somebody, your first thought is never, ‘Oh, my gosh, these texts might be blasted for the whole world to see.’ Like, that is such an invasion of privacy.”
