“There are plenty of people upset with me right now,” he said in the beginning of the video as he wants to give “a little more context to the situation” as well as “take accountability and apologize for some of the things that I wasn’t able to say.”

In “looking to clear up a few rumors of the false narrative that’s being said,” Devin says while showing a screenshot of text messages he and Jenn sent each other after leaving the show and in the lead-up to After the Final Rose.

“All I’m trying to do here is show that this was a two-way relationship,” Devin said. “And I think we can both be held accountable. I’m in no way sitting here trying to say I was perfect throughout that relationship but I am looking to clear up a few rumors and the false narrative that is being said about me.”

“Post show, we both had missteps, we both had flaws,” he explained in the video. “We both had mistakes along the way, but the love that Jenn and I had, and the love especially that I had for Jenn, is not something that I’m attempting to lie about.”

What was the reason for the break up?

“I feel like no matter what I was doing and no matter how hard I was trying, it wasn’t good enough, no matter how much effort I would put in. It continued to take an emotional toll on me,” he said. “At that point, I really did have to make just a decision based on my own happiness, because again, at the end of the day, what’s best for me is what’s best for me.”

While watching the episodes, Devin says he learned that he was not Jenn’s first choice, saying he had to “watch myself place second” to Marcus Shoberg, who ended the season as the runner-up.

“I don’t fault her for the feelings that she had towards Marcus,” he added, “but I wasn’t informed of that even during our relationship.”

Devin talked about the claims Jenn made during the After the Final Rose special, when she revealed that he refused to go to couples counseling,

“I want to go ahead and clear the air that I never refused to go to couples counseling,” Devin said by showing texts between the couple proving he was on board. “I actually scheduled multiple appointments with her, and we went to a couple sessions together. On top of that, Jen and I were also doing individual counseling with our respective therapists from the show at the time.”

He reveals that he “stopped going to couples counseling” when Jenn fired their mutual therapist without consulting him.

When asked for an explanation, Jenn said that she “didn’t like her” and she “wasn’t experienced enough.”

“She didn’t tell me that she got rid of the therapist and that’s what really struck me in the wrong way, because again, it felt like no matter what I was saying, what I was doing, my opinions on the matter, they were being completely tossed to the side,” he said.

He repeatedly pointed a text on August 27, in which he claims Jenn tells him they “were on good terms and friends.” 3 prior to After The Final Rose Live, Jenn sent Devin another text saying, “Even though things weren’t perfect between our relationship, she’ll always cherish and love between us, and no matter what happens, she’ll always be rooting for me. She specifically says, ‘No matter how things play out on TV.’”

“I had no idea what any of the conversation had been prior leading up to that point,” he recalled. “Everything that we’ve spoken about post breakup has led me to believe that we were on good terms.”

Looking back, Devin admits he does love Jenn, he also believes he made the right call for himself—although even he admits he probably should not have followed Maria Georgas on Instagram after the split.

“The things that were said about our relationship were expressed and incredibly inaccurate, and I just wanted to do my best, and felt it was best to speak on the circumstances of the situation,” Devin said before addressing Jenn, “And to Jenn, I really, really am sorry for the way things played out. My intentions were to never hurt you, and I’m sorry for that hurt that I’ve caused.”

 “I hope you can find in your hearts to forgive me,” he concluded the message.
