BACHELORETTE Jenn Tran has trouble keeping her composure while one of her eligible suitors shared a confession in the new season's first trailer. ABC released a preview for Season 21 on Friday, ahead of its July 8 premiere. The clip introduces one of the 25 contestants vying for Jenn's heart, Sam N - a family-oriented entrepreneur from Carlsbad, California .
It also captured a sweet moment between Jenn and Sam, 25, during a romantic date night. Jen, 26, knelt on the floor and turned away from Sam, who had an important question to ask The Bachelorette star. "I want to show you how serious I am," he began.
In a confessional interview, Sam revealed that he'd been waiting for this moment his "whole life." Jenn appeared to be fighting back tears before turning around to see Sam holding a handmade sign that read, "Jenn, will you be my first girlfriend?" The TV star enthusiastically said, "Yes," rushing into Sam's arms. It was announced in March that Jenn would be the next Bachelorette after not finding love with Joey Graziadei , 29, on the latest season of The Bachelor .
The college student is the first Asian Bachelorette in the franchise, which sparked a major media frenzy, especially after it was revealed that Daisy Kent, 25, turned down the part . Chatter circulated that producers initially selected Daisy, the runner-up on Joey's season, but were forced to pick someone else when she declined. Backlash later ensued on social media , with fans calling out Jenn for supposedly being.
