    Jenn Tran makes history as the first Asian-American Bachelorette. She has Miami ties

    Published on

    Jenn Tran is already embracing her role as the latest “Bachelorette.”

    Tran — the long-running dating show’s first Asian-American lead — already sent seven men packing on the first episode Monday night. Eighteen suitors remain on Season 21, vying to win the final rose.

    Bachelor Nation fans may recall Tran from Joey Graziadei’s season of “The Bachelor.” The 26-year-old, whose parents are Vietnamese immigrants, was nearing the final stretch, but was sent packing right before the hometown dates.

    Before signing on for the ABC reality show, Tran was a physician’s assistant student at Barry University in Miami Shores. The University of Wisconsin alum clinched the role on “The Bachelor” while living in the 305. She told her followers in February that her academic advisor OK’d her taking a break from her studies to participate.

    The New Jersey native’s Instagram account often showed her getting ready for work and going out on the town in the Magic City. Right now, she’s reportedly based in Boston, while America watches how Season 21 plays out.

    When host Jesse Palmer announced she was the next singleton to be doling out the roses back in March, she posted it was a “dream” to experience the “crazy adventure” to find (possible) love.

    “Also, FIRST ASIAN BACHELORETTE?! You have no idea how much this moment means to me,” she told her Insta followers. “Growing up I never got to see anyone who looked like me lead their own love story on TV. To be able to inspire a generation of people to be proud of their culture is something I’m so grateful for.”

    Any teasers for viewers? Tran hinted to Deadline that we should expect the unexpected.

    “There’s a lot of twists and turns in the story, so I’m excited to see all of that play out,” she told the outlet. “Honestly, I’m most excited to see my self-growth, because I really feel like I’m a totally different person now than I was at the beginning of it.”
