A new bachelorette has entered the chat, and she’s making history: Jenn Tran is the first Asian American woman to lead The Bachelorette.
Season 21 of the dating competition series premieres on ABC on Monday (July 8).
Tran, a 26-year-old medical student who’s studying to be a physician and currently resides in Miami, previously competed on Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor.
Who will get Trans’s final rose? It’s a little early for finale talk, but Tran opened up about what she looks for in a Good Morning America interview on Monday.
“For me it’s really all about personality,” explained Tran. “I’m such a thoughtful person when it comes to being in a relationship, so I was looking for someone who was thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, open and ready for love.”
“I was honestly so grateful to have the group of guys that I did,” she added. “They were so thoughtful and caring. They were just so open to everything, and I felt so lucky to be with them.”
Former Bachelor Jesse Palmer returns as host the new season.
