‘Bachelorette’ cast 2024: Meet the 25 men vying for Jenn Tran's heart
The historic Season 21 of “The Bachelorette” with Jenn Tran as the franchise’s first Asian American lead is fast approaching.
Jenn, who was a contestant on Joey Graziadei’s Season 28 of “The Bachelor,” says she's ready to find her soulmate. While her journey will begin on Monday, July 8, at 8 p.m. ET, fans of the series have been awaiting news about her season since she was announced as the lead in March.
The Miami native, who is studying to be a physician assistant, became a fan-favorite as she opened up to Joey about her Vietnamese family. She connected with viewers who don’t often see themselves represented on television. A few fans previously spoke to TODAY.com about their hopes for the season and what it means to them to see Jenn’s love story unfold on television.
With her premiere about a month away, Bachelor Nation is learning more about Season 21, including the 25 men vying for Jenn’s heart.
On June 3, the franchise released the photos and bios of the contestants that Jenn will meet on night one at the show’s brand new mansion in Santa Susana, California. As Us Weekly reported in March, Tran is also making history as the first lead to kick off her season at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch.
