The Bachelorette franchise made history with the announcement of its first Asian American lead, Jenn Tran. Tran, who previously appeared on Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor, will be the star of the upcoming 21st season of The Bachelorette. This groundbreaking decision was revealed during the live finale of Graziadei's season, with former Bachelorette Charity Lawson sharing the news on air.
Tran expressed her gratitude and honor at being chosen as the first Asian American Bachelorette, highlighting the importance of representation in media. She emphasized the significance of being able to lead her own love story and inspire others who may have felt underrepresented in the past.
The 26-year-old Tran is described as a compassionate individual dedicated to helping others, currently pursuing a career as a physician assistant. Residing in Miami, she is seeking a partner who shares her values of reliability and thoughtfulness. In her free time, Tran enjoys reading, paddleboarding, and traveling.
The Bachelorette is set to return this summer, following Graziadei's engagement to contestant Kelsey Anderson. The couple plans to move to New York together, expressing excitement for the future. The show is produced by Next Entertainment and Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, with a team of executive producers overseeing the production.
