Jenn Tran promises surprises, a fantastic group of guys, and an ending she is “very happy” with as her “Bachelorette” journey kicks off.
“It was an absolutely amazing experience, and I honestly just can’t wait to watch it all back,” Tran shared on “Good Morning America“. “It feels like this chapter of my life happened, and I’m like, ‘Did it actually happen?'”
While Tran can’t reveal if she left the show engaged, she hinted that things turned out well in the end.
“The way everything played out and how my story unfolded, every single piece needed to happen for me to get to where I am today,” she said. “I’m just so grateful and so happy about it all. So I am very happy with the outcome.”
Tran mentioned that the show’s twists and turns kept her on the edge of her seat every day and promised unexpected surprises—even for her.
“I live for a little bit of adrenaline,” she joked, hinting that she’s also open to “a little bit” of drama.
As for her ideal partner, Tran said, “it’s all about personality” for her, looking for someone “who is thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, and ready for love.”
Fortunately, she said the 25 men competing for her heart this season were “all so thoughtful and so caring,” adding, “I felt so lucky to be with them.”
Tran made headlines in March when she was announced as the newest Bachelorette, the first Asian American woman in the role—a milestone she deeply values.
“It’s so important to me. Honestly, I think about it every day, and I feel so honored and grateful to even be sitting here and doing this,” she said.
“Growing up, I didn’t see many Asians in the media, which made me doubt that I could achieve something significant. So, to be here today and be the role model I always wanted is really surreal for me,” Tran continued, expressing her excitement to inspire a new generation.
Jenn Tran’s journey on “The Bachelorette” begins Monday, July 8, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
