Jenn was hugging a mystery man in front of an elevator while he was holding her purse for her, according to a screenshot of the photo obtained by BachelorNation.com.
Jenn was wearing a red dress, but very little could be seen in the mirror selfie except for the man's khaki pants and black T-short.
Fans noticed, however, that the man is much taller than Jenn.
Jenn's followers flooded her comments of other Instagram photos guessing and trying to find out this man's identity.
"Umm your story?? omg happy for you girl," one person wrote.
Another fan chimed in, "But who is in your story???"
There was speculation that the man could be The Bachelorette alum Jonathon Johnson, who also appeared on Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season earlier this summer, or Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz.
Jenn and Sasha, who will not be competing on Dancing with the Stars' 34th season this fall, reportedly ended their romance in June.
Jenn and Sasha split about nine months after they had met while being partnered on Dancing with the Stars' 33rd season last year, according to multiple media outlets.

"She also doesn't need a man to be tied to her in the media," the source added.
An insider, however, told People that The Bachelor alum and Sasha were able to remain "very good friends."
It's unclear when Jenn and Sasha's relationship officially began considering the pair never publicly confirmed their romance, other than teasing hangout sessions and their strong bond on social media.
But days after Jenn and Sasha's late October 2024 elimination from Dancing with the Stars, Jenn boasted about how she and Sasha were about to begin "private rehearsals" at his home.
Jenn and Sasha continued to have adventures together -- including attending a Taylor Swift concert and festivals -- which prompted rumors to swirl about the status of their relationship. Jenn also crashed on Sasha's couch once her DWTS stint was over.
Even fellow Dancing with the Stars pros often commented about the cute couple and how everyone was waiting for a hard launch on social media.
Late last year, Jenn admitted on the "Sorry We're Cyrus" podcast that she had been hoping to get on the road with the Dancing with the Stars tour.

"Oh, god," Jenn replied. "If you say boyfriend, he's going to freak out."

Months later, Jenn posted an Instagram video in February of Sasha and herself enjoying a date night for Valentine's Day complete with wine and chocolate covered strawberries.
But since the video was a paid promotion, fans weren't sure whether their date night should be taken seriously.
Jenn previously gushed about how she had the experience of a lifetime with Sasha on Dancing with the Stars last fall. Their run on the show ended during the show's Halloween-themed broadcast.
"My experience on Dancing with the Stars was only so unbelievable because of you!" Jenn told Sasha once their journey on DWTS came to an end.
"Every day for the past three months I've had the biggest smile on my face and my heart because you've brought light back into my life when I thought the clouds would be suffocating me."
Jenn added, "Because of you I was able to find a love for dancing and now I can't even imagine my life without you!"
Prior to getting romantically involved with Sasha, Jenn had been engaged to her The Bachelorette 21 winner Devin Strader.
After The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose featured Devin showing no remorse or regret for having dumped Jenn in a brief phone call shortly after their engagement, ABC announced Jenn as a last-minute casting addition for Dancing with the Stars on September 4.
Jenn initially found fame when she competed on Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor, which aired in early 2024.
