After a journey filled with twists and turns on Season 28 of “The Bachelor,” Jenn Tran is ready to pen a new chapter in her quest for love. Despite not finding her happily ever after with Joey Graziadei, she’s gearing up for a second chance at romance as the star of the upcoming season of “The Bachelorette.”

With grace and gratitude, she shared her excitement, expressing her honor at being chosen to represent Asian representation on television.
“Growing up, I’ve always wanted to see Asian representation on TV and I feel like it was really sparse,” Tran shared. “To be here today sitting in this position being like, I am going to lead my own love story, I am going to be the main character in my story — I just can’t help but think of how many people I’m inspiring and how many lives I am changing.”
