BREAKING: Jenn Tran, Asian-American Bachelorette, Calls it Quits with Dancing with the Stars Hunk Sasha Farber After Four Months of Flirty Fling!

Get ready for a drama-filled scoop! TheScholarlyNote.com has the juiciest news about Jennifer "Jenn" Tran, the stunning 31-year-old Barry University grad student and first Asian-American Bachelorette, who's reportedly ended her whirlwind romance with professional dancer Aleksandr "Sasha" Farber, 41.

The power couple's four-month fling has come to an abrupt halt, sources close to the pair confirm. But don't worry, folks! This split was nothing short of amicable, with both parties remaining friends and parting ways without any drama or tears (at least, not publicly).

At 41, the professional dancer (R) is 14 years older than the Barry University grad student (L), and the couple amicably ended their pairing with no drama while remaining friends

As fans of The Bachelorette and Dancing with the Stars might recall, Jenn and Sasha were all smiles in their final footage together at Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA, over the weekend of April 25-27. But despite appearing lovey-dovey on camera, neither party posted any PDA on social media, leaving fans wondering if it was just a "showmance" all along.

The real reason for their breakup? Distance, baby! Jenn is currently enrolled in a physician assistant program in Miami, while Sasha remains close to his $2.6M Studio City home. Talk about being torn between two loves!

But don't get us wrong – this split was hardly unexpected. TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that the couple's relationship had been on shaky ground for some time, with Jenn ominously missing from Sasha's "perfect" birthday festivities in LA on May 9.

And what about Sasha's ex-wife, Emma Slater? Well, it seems the two are getting along swimmingly. In fact, they were spotted together at a rehearsal session at Aesthetic Dance Studios in Sherman Oaks on Tuesday – just days after their divorce was finalized in May 2024 following four years of marriage and 13 years of knowing each other.

Meanwhile, Jenn has been busy fostering a female kitten named Penelope from Pawsitive Beings Rescue Inc. since May 24. Who can blame her for having her priorities straight?

As we reported earlier, Jenn's romance with Sasha began when she was a last-minute casting choice for the 33rd season of Dancing with the Stars. Despite being eliminated on October 29, Jenn left with a newfound sense of family and a special connection to Sasha.

Speaking of which, some fans believed it was all just a 'showmance' considering the only time they ever publicly showed affection was a chaste kiss on the cheek on December 16

"I'm walking away with a new family that I didn't know that I had, and such an incredible man who I got to meet by twist of fate," she gushed during her episode.

Sasha echoed her sentiments, calling their meeting "a beautiful surprise."

Little did we know at the time, however, that Jenn's heart was still reeling from a previous breakup. In August 2022, she was dumped via telephone by her fiancé, freight company owner Devin Strader, just five months after accepting his proposal on The Bachelorette.

Distance was also clearly an issue for Tran, who's enrolled in a physician assistant program in Miami, and Farber, who remains close to his $2.6M Studio City home (pictured May 30)

"I am still healing," she wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post. "It's been difficult processing the past few months and it will continue to be difficult for me to fully understand my own heart at this moment."

In other news, Jenn has been keeping busy with her influencer duties, partnering with brands like Mini USA, 196 Vodka Seltzer, CeraVe, Shark Beauty, Fabletics Scrubs, Neutrogena, Clorox, MegaFood, and Edible Arrangements. Who knows what the future holds for this ambitious entrepreneur?
