Jenn Tran is open to “friendship dates” with the Cleveland Cavs hooper Max Strus. A day after admitting her crush, the Bachelorette star has continued to shoot her shots at the NBA hooper. As a drama swirled around her past heartbreak, Jenn remains classy and respectful about her former relationship. Meanwhile, she’s investing her efforts into showing Max Strus, that she might have a ‘thing’ for him.

From honest confessions on ‘The Viall Files’ podcast to double-tapping on a shirtless picture of Max Strus from Lake Michigan, Tran might be going the extra mile. Interestingly, she also admitted to having found Celtic’s Jayson Tatum off the ‘market’, so she wouldn’t mind if Strus slid into her DMs. Moreover, both celebrities follow each other on social media, thus adding fuel to speculations. But as of now, there aren’t any confirmations whether Cupid has shot the arrows or not. Amidst the rumors, confessions, and speculations, fans are having the time of their lives. Why?  They’re being fed with the drama they’ve been waiting for. Such stories of supposed romance could be interesting off-season tales to talk about.

Meanwhile, teammate-turned-fan, Georges Niang commented below the post: “This guy is up early on a Friday thirst trapping hahahaha.” At the same time, Lakers star, Gabe Vincent suggested Max Strus to “Put some clothes on.” However, some fans filled the comment section with comments like “Future Mr.Tran” and “soooooo jenn trann?” So, it looks like NBA compatriots and fans have all come together to ‘admire’ the beach-vibed Max.

The timing of Strus’ shirtless beach pic is interesting; as a scroll through his Instagram feed shows his content is predominantly basketball-related (all fully clothed). So perhaps, was he using the pictures as a tool to get Jenn Tran’s attention? But well, Jenn is currently healing herself.

Max Strus’ new admirer Jenn Tran is currently focusing on herself

Max Strus has significantly contributed to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ success in the 2024 NBA season. With an average of 12.2 PPG, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists the 6’5″ shooting guard has been a valuable addition to the team. But who would’ve thought Strus could be a valuable addition to Jenn Tran’s thoughts? The Bachelorette star’s candid “celebrity crush” confession has sent shockwaves in the NBA community. However, Jenn was slightly biased toward Jayson Tatum, but knowing that he was off the market, she shifted to Max Strus, who has now shared his shirtless photos on social media, with Jenn hitting the like button.

However, given the heartbreak, the 26-year-old Bachelorette experienced with Devin Strader, she’s solely focusing on herself. Jenn Tran is trying to pick up the pieces after the reality show finale aired. There she revealed that she found herself in shambles to know that her engagement had been called off. As it seems, Jenn might be healing from the grief she felt back then. “I, truthfully, don’t know how my heart is yet. I haven’t had a second to myself to really process everything,” Tran said. Therefore, her alleged interest in Max Strus could be a diversion from her sorrows, knowing that all that she’s doing is just for some hearty laughs (maybe).

Thus, nothing is going on between Strus and Jenn, at least that’s what rumors and reports say. However, who knows how Cupid may work at times. Ella Mai similarly found Jayson Tatum, so nothing is impossible. Now that, Jenn Tran has spilled the beans, all eyes would be on the development of the matter. Let’s see what happens next!
