Comments like “Is this the hard launch??” and “Are you two a couple?” fueled the dating rumors. Some fans showed their support, with one saying, “Omg. I SHIP THIS SO MUCH!!!!!! You deserve this Jen!”
Others were more skeptical, noting, “Just cause they’re together a lot doesn’t mean they’re together together.”
The curiosity about Johnson stems from Tran’s eventful season on “The Bachelorette.” After proposing to finalist Devin Strader, Tran’s engagement quickly unraveled when Strader ended things over the phone.
In the aftermath, Tran found comfort in her friendship with Johnson. Tran spoke about their bond in an NBC News interview, “Jonathan’s been such a light in all of this… a really good friend, a really good human.”
Despite rumors suggesting a romantic connection, Tran made it clear she wasn’t ready for a new relationship. “I’m just taking time for myself,” she explained. “I don’t have the space in my head or my heart for a relationship right now.”
The day before the video was shared, Tran and Farber were spotted on a casual shopping trip in Studio City, California. The pair looked relaxed and happy as they walked side by side, with Farber’s dog, Grinch, in tow.
At one point, Tran put her arm around Farber’s shoulders, further intensifying the speculation about their relationship. Fans had noticed the duo’s close connection throughout their stint on “Dancing with the Stars.”
With the recent video and their cozy outing, the whispers about a possible romance have only grown louder. Tran’s fans seem to think she has moved on after her messy breakup with Strader.
During the finale of “The Bachelorette,” Tran had to watch the moment she proposed to Strader in Hawaii, only for him to end the engagement soon after. On the show, Tran tearfully shared how Strader had pulled away before calling it off.
Strader, appearing regretful, admitted he had delayed sharing his doubts. The breakup drama escalated when Strader posted a now-deleted video on Instagram, in which he shared private messages from Tran.
He claimed he had tried to discuss the split in person, but Tran refused to meet. Following backlash, Strader issued an apology in his Instagram story. For now, neither Tran nor Farber has confirmed or denied rumors of them dating.
Fans continue to weigh in online, with some hoping the two are a couple and others questioning if their relationship is purely platonic. One follower captured the mood of many, saying, “Waiting patiently for relationship confirmation.”
