The Bachelor franchise has maintained its vice-like grip on our Monday and Tuesday nights in 2024, by which I mean Jenn Tran's season of The Bachelorette is officially here. While Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor was absolutely wild or “unprecedented,” to quote host Jesse Palmer (the plot twists!!!), there was a Rolodex of pretty cool contestants. One of those girlies was Jenn, and if you weren’t already in the Jenn Hive last season, you definitely will be after you learn allll the fun facts below.

61 Wild Rules You Didn’t Know ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ Contestants Have to Follow
Meet Jenn Tran's Potential 'Bachelorette' Contestants
Jenn Is The First Asian American Bachelorette
During the “After the Final Rose” special, Jenn Tran was officially declared the lead of season 21 of The Bachelorette—making her the first Asian American Bachelorette in the history of the franchise.
“Yesterday, I was in the emergency room in my scrubs,” Jenn said once season 20’s Bachelorette, Charity Lawson, announced her.
She's a Sagittarius!
Jenn's birthday is November 24, making her a fiery Sag! Astrology girlies, tap in and let me know what this means, re: her compatibility with her contestants. 👀
She’s Passionate About Helping Others
Jenn is originally from Hillsdale, New Jersey but she’s “currently studying to become a physician assistant” in Miami. She’s dedicated her life to helping others and is also bilingual with a Vietnamese background. Her range!
Her Top Prio, Though? Finding Love
Per ABC, while Jenn “is passionate about working in health care, she is also ready to prioritize finding love. Jenn has had multiple serious relationships but is still looking for a man who’s as reliable and thoughtful as she is.”
“I’m looking for someone who has a really big personality,” Jenn explained during the “After the Final Rose” special. “I’m all about having fun; I’m all about having that cheeky banter.”
Here’s to hoping she finds it on season 21 of The Bachelorette!
Jenn Believes in Aliens and Loves Shawn Mendes
Have to say, out of all the bios ABC has blessed us with during Joey’s season, Jenn’s is the most iconic. Not only did ABC feel the need to tell us that “Jenn loves reading books like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo,” but they also informed us that “she knows that aliens are real,” “she doesn’t leave home without ChapStic,” and Shawn Mendes’ music “regularly” makes her cry. And honestly...same! Alexa, play “Mercy.”
