Michelle Young Is ‘ Happy’ to See Jenn Tran Be the Next ‘Bachelorette’


Michelle Young, who was the Bachelorette on season 18, reacted to Jenn Tran being selected for the newest franchise lead

While Young, who was the lead of season 18, acknowledged that Bachelor Nation is “supportive at times,” the love for the Bachelorette doesn’t always translate online. While Young acknowledged that many Bachelor Nation fans had others in mind from Joey Graziadei ’s season for the role, she noted it is “incredibly important” that the audience can be “truly open to seeing other types of love stories.” “I feel so, so grateful and so honored, to be the first Asian bachelorette in this franchise,” Tran said after the casting decision was announced during the season 28 Bachelor finale on Monday, March 25.
