Jenn Tran Finds Feline Comfort with New Kitten After Split

Another day, another adorable life update. Bachelorette alum Jenn Tran has officially upgraded her relationship status—this time, it’s with a kitten. Exactly one month after her split from Dancing with the Stars partner Sasha Farber, the 27-year-old shared a TikTok “hard launch” that revealed her new furry sidekick and turned her feed into a cat mom celebration.
In the July 10 TikTok video set to Taylor Swift’s “Ready for It?,” Jenn flipped her camera from herself to the back view, unveiling a tiny ball of fluff curled up in her lap. The caption read “Im so whipped,” and fans immediately swooned. Tran’s transformation from reality star juggling romance to committed cat parent came after she began fostering a kitten back in late May.
On May 24, Tran gave her first peek at her foster cat, teasing viewers with “This is my new cat—My foster cat,” and admitting she “might adopt her.” She praised the kitten’s fearless attitude in that early video, explaining that the feline let her scoop her up right away. “She’s warmed up to me, let me pick her up immediately,” Jenn explained, calling her new housemate “brave” and “not scared of me at all.”
With her travel plans on pause and her physician assistant program in full swing, Jenn realized she had time to give this little rescue a forever home. “And I was only going to foster, but then I saw her,” she said in May, hinting that adoption felt like a natural next step once she committed to a more settled schedule.
Fans flooded the comments under the July reveal with relief and delight after watching Jenn navigate two high-profile splits—first from Sasha Farber after nearly a year together, and earlier from fiancé Devin Strader upon leaving The Bachelorette. “Best news ever! I stand by this relationship—no red flags,” one follower wrote, while another added, “Finally someone who deserves Jenn.” Even fellow Bachelor Nation veteran Starr Skyler chimed in, “U scared me for a sec I was confused,” celebrating that the “hard launch” was all about a pet, not a budding romance.
As Tran refocuses on her Miami studies, she’s promised her mom there will be “no more hiatuses from P.A. school,” as reported by People in April. Yet when training wraps, she hints she might be open to other life surprises. For now, though, life in front of the camera is taking a back seat to kitten cuddles and exam prep.
Of course, Hollywood is never short on pet parents. Brie Larson welcomed a new pup to join dog Six-Thirty. Yellowstone’s star introduced his rescue dog with an Instagram post in February. Taylor Swift continues her reign as pop’s ultimate cat lady, sharing snapshots of Meredith every chance she gets. From sitcom stars to late-night hosts, A-listers know the healing power of a four-legged friend.
Alright, that’s the tea on Jenn and her mini feline roommate. Do with it what you will.
