The cast of Dancing With the Stars will be hitting the road next year, but Jenn Tran won’t be joining them.
“I got a call about [the] tour, and I won’t be going on tour, which is really sad because I really wanted to go,” Tran, 26, revealed in an Instagram video shared Wednesday, November 20. “I felt like with tour, I was gonna be able to hold onto this feeling a little bit longer and hold onto this dancing moment that I’ve been having.”
The Bachelorette alum said she “started sobbing” when she got the news, which felt “so silly.” She explained: “I’m crying because I can’t dance when two months ago, I didn’t even know that I liked to dance.”
Tran viewed joining the 2025 Dancing With the Stars: Live! tour as “one last opportunity for me to perform,” noting that she grew to love the “performance aspect” of dance during her time on the ABC compeтιтion series.

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, […]
“I can still go and take dance classes, which I’m gonna do, but the performance aspect of it and putting on a live show for that amount of people and just, like, dancing with all these people on Dancing With the Stars and the whole family aspect of it, it is just sad that it really, truly has just come to an end for me,” she stated. “It’s OK. I just need to have a little moment about it.”
Despite the end of her DWTS journey, Tran is staying positive. “You know the saying, ‘Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.’ And it really is true. I really did have the best two months of my life dancing,” she said in the Instagram upload before asking fans for dance studio recommendations in Los Angeles and Miami.

“I’m so happy and grateful and proud that we were able to work hard and get that 10,” she exclusively told Us Weekly after her elimination. “It just proves that anybody can do anything they put their mind to.”

She compared her elimination to “going through a breakup,” adding: “I felt like I broke up with dancing and I didn’t know if it was going to take me back or not. It is kind of like breaking up with somebody because you’re in constant contact with them every day, and then the next day you’re not. Immediately ghost. Nothing. Dancing ghosted with me.”
