Jenn Tran makes history as The Bachelorette’s first Asian American lead.
Jenn Tran is set to enter the house as the lead of ABC’s popular dating reality show The Bachelorette’s upcoming season 21, marking a benchmark as the series’ first Asian American to headline the show.
Having previously appeared on The Bachelor season 28 vying for Joey Graziadei’s heart, the 26-year-old Vietnamese physician assistant student from San Diego is now ready to find love herself.
A two-hour premiere kicking off the journey is scheduled for July 2024. Tran has the power to choose from a diverse roster of suitors, including an Army Ranger veteran, aerospace engineer, and others competing for her affection.
Per her Bachelor bio, the paddleboard-loving bibliophile seeks “a man as reliable and thoughtful as she is.”
The 2024 era of The Bachelorette is primed to kickstart under Tran’s charismatic leadership, sparking anticipation amongst viewers with its milestone as the reality show continues augmenting representation decades after its launch.
Industry experts believe the charming contestant’s legacy will ignite more inclusion in the dating franchise going forward.
