The time has come for yet another The Bachelorette star to find love, this time around, Jenn Tran!
The Bachelor season 28 alum is getting another chance at finding her endgame for season 21 of The Bachelorette, following her stint on Joey Graziadei's season, which ended in March, and saw him get engaged to fiancée Kelsey Anderson.
Though calls from fans were loud to make either fan-favorite Maria Georgas or front-runner Daisy Kent the new season's star — they have both revealed they were offered but turned down the role — Bachelor Nation is eager to know more about Jenn, and see her meet and date over 20 men, when the show airs its new season premiere on ABC this Monday, July 8 at 8pm ET.
But before her journey to find love starts, catch up on what we know about Jenn so far, from where she's from to her age, and what she's said about finding the one.
