Devin Strader, age 28, is one of the contestants of The Bachelorette Season 21. The Houston resident, Strader, is a businessman and runs a freight company.
Unlike Aaron Erb, one of the other contestants of season 21, Strader has no familiar connection with the show. Some fans have shared that Strader is part of a running club. This isn’t shocking, as he has shared a video of him participating in a relay race.
The Bachelorette Season 21 is the Jenn Tran season, making her the show’s first Asian American lead. The 26-year-old physician was announced as the lead in March following her elimination from Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor.
The freight company owner, Strader, survived week 1, but Jenn has already sent seven men packing back home. The eliminated contestants from week 1 are Ricky, Dakota, Matt, Brett, Brendan, Moze, and Kevin.
How Old Is The Bachelorette Contestant Devin Strader?
Born on January 31, 1996, Devin Strader is 28. Strader hails from Houston, Texas, and is a dog lover, having previously shared a few photographs of his little friend Charlie on his Instagram.
Devin welcomed Charlie into his household on July 20, 2017. The Texas native had shared a photo of Charlie’s first day at the Strader residence with the caption, “Me and all my dawgs actin’ like some dawgs. Welcome home, Charlie!”
A month later, he shared a photo of him taking Charlie to his first vet visit, showing how much of a caring dad he is. Coming from Houston, it isn’t shocking to see that Devin loves supporting the MLB team Houston Astros.
He even dressed as the former Houston Astros player Dallas Keuchel after the team won their first World Series title in 2017. Devin attended one of the Astros World Series games in 2019 in person, but that year, the Houston Astros lost to the Washington Nationals.
Devin graduated from Louisiana State University in 2019 with a business degree. He worked as a Vice President of acquisitions at Shark Logistics LLC for three years before starting his company in 2023.
In March 2023, Strader opened F1 Freight Consultants. The company’s website describes itself as a full-scale, dedicated Truckload and LTL service provider, offering top-tier transportation services and solutions to various industries.
From his Instagram handle, it is clear that Strader loves the outdoors and keeping himself fit. In March 2023, Strader participated in the Texas Independence Relays and successfully ran the 200-mile relay race with his friends.
A few Redditors on the subreddit dedicated to the Bachelorette show found that Devin was previously an aspiring rapper. One of the Reddit users found Devin’s artist profile, 96Dev, on musixmatch. The profile currently shows eleven tracks, which were all shared in 2020.
The Reddit user shared links to some of Devin’s songs on Soundcloud, iHeart, and YouTube, but all those songs have now been removed from the site. A few fans have written it is likely because he used a racial slur in one of the songs.
Devin Strader’s Family Details: Does He Have Siblings?
In his ABC Bio, Devin mentioned his mom, saying she is his hero. So we know he is Mama’s boy. But the businessman has never tagged one of his parents in the family photos he has shared on his Instagram handle.
On September 30, 2017, Strader shared a photo of him, his mom, and his brother attending the wedding ceremony of their cousin Kristen. It looks like his parents are divorced, and his mother, Jennifer, re-married in 2020 and now goes by the name Jennifer Strader Novak.
Jennifer graduated from Irvine Valley College in 1996 with a General Studies degree. She later received her communication degree from California State University in 2006. Mrs. Novak worked as Project Controls Manager at Fluor Corporation from January 1999 until December 2000.
Jennifer remained a legal secretary at Woodruff, Spradlin & Smart for five years before becoming Accounting Executive at O’Reilly Public Relations in 2006. In 2007, she re-joined Fluor Corporation as a Marketing Specialist and became a Senior Communication Specialist in 2015, a position she continues to serve.
Jennifer has kept her Instagram handle private but has shared a few family photographs on her Facebook handle. Devin’s only sibling, Pierce Strader, is already a father to one despite being younger than Devin.
Born on June 5, 1999, Pierce is 25 and works as a Senior Police Telecommunicator at the Houston Police Department. Pierce has shared a few photographs with his son on his Facebook handle. One of the photos is of his child rocking the Astros jersey.
