Jenn Tran is ready to move on after her season of The Bachelorette took a shocking turn.

The morning after Tran reunited with her former fiancé, Devin Strader, on After the Final Rose for an emotional conversation on their split, the 26-year-old said she's ready to "move on with my life."

"It definitely was a moment I’ve been wanting to happen for the past month," she said of reuniting with Devin, 28, on Good Morning America on Sept. 4. "I just needed to get that off of my chest and start a clean slate."

"Devin and I had gotten engaged back in May and we had just broken up about a month ago. And since then, it’s just been off and on and whatnot. So it’s finally nice to get the closure that I finally needed last night," she said, reiterating what she shared on After the Final Rose with host Jesse Palmer on Sept. 3.

Jenn said that "nothing had changed" on her side regarding her feelings toward Devin after they got engaged in Hawai'i.

"I was so happy, so ready to start our life together," she explained. "But I had realized that his energy had shifted and his priorities had shifted and he wasn’t the same person he was on the show as off of the show."

She picked up on the shift in her fiancée "pretty immediate[ly]," she said.

"I started noticing the efforts were different and the inconsistencies and the things he was promising me and then not fulfilling," she added. "But I said, ‘Maybe it’s just the show, it’s been a lot coming off of the show.’ So I gave grace with that. And I think over time, I just realized, his heart just wasn’t in it anymore."

Jenn and her men head to Auckland, New Zealand, as her journey to find love continues.

Regardless of how the relationship ended, Jenn reaffirmed that she "absolutely" has no regrets about getting down on one knee herself to propose to Devin, which he then followed up with his own proposal.

"I proposed to a man who promised me a fulfilling life, a loving partnership and a marriage that I had always wanted. So I’m very confident in knowing that’s still what I want," she said. "Unfortunately, he just wasn’t the man he had talked himself up to be. But I would be so lucky to find another man who would be able to fulfill those promises."
