Meet Jenn Tran’s 25 Contestants

By mzaxazm


The historic Season 21 of “The Bachelorette” with Jenn Tran as the franchise’s first Asian American lead premiered July 8. 

Jenn, who was a contestant on Joey Graziadei’s Season 28 of “The Bachelor,” says she’s ready to find her soulmate.

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.
