MIAMI – Love is in the air as ABC’s “The Bachelorette” returns Monday night for its 21st season!
And this time, a Miami girl is making history as the first Asian-American lead.
Local 10′s Alexis Frazier got to sit down with her to get the scoop on her journey and what fans can expect.
Jenn Tran is ready to fall in love, one rose at a time.
“This journey has honestly been full of a lot of surprises,” she told Local 10.
Tran rolled into fans’ hearts during Joey’s season of “The Bachelor” on a go-kart and raced into our memories.
Her bubbly personality made her an instant fan favorite.
“When I grew up, I didn’t have a lot of Asian representation on TV or in the media,” she said. “And yes, things are changing right now, but there still needs to be a lot more change and I’m just excited and happy to be a part of that change.”
Tran is set to turn up the heat this season, but will the bachelors be able to keep up?
“Some of my non-negotiables would be guys who are insecure, not willing to be open-minded — things like that,” she said.
From unique limo entrances to romance, get ready for a season full of prickly situations.
So move over stethoscopes, Tran’s got roses to hand out and hearts to mend.
“What would you use as one word to describe this season of ‘The Bachelorette?’” Frazier asked.
“Surprising,” Tran said. “There’s a lot of surprises. I surprised myself, the guys surprised me. Every day was like, what’s going to happen next?”
Tran is taking a break from PA school in Miami to complete her journey to love.
She says she’s definitely going to continue once things settle down because it is something she’s worked her entire life for.
You can catch “The Bachelorette” at 8 p.m. Mondays on ABC.
