Jenn Tran: ABC's newest Bachelorette discusses balancing the spotlight in her historic season

This week, Jason is joined by ABC’s newest leading lady, The Bachelorette of Season 21, Jenn Tran!
After charming the nation with her bubbly personality on Joey’s season of the Bachelor, Jenn has made Bachelor franchise history being the first Asian American bachelorette. Prior to joining reality TV, Jenn was in the middle of pursuing a career as a physician assistant, which she had to temporarily put on hold to pursue her opportunity as the bachelorette.
Jenn gives insight to pushing through the noise around her as she navigates being the bachelorette, why she almost turned down The Bachelorette, how she is taking every opportunity thanks to her mom’s sacrifices, how her PA TikTok’s landed her on Joey’s season, how she was able to get the time off for PA school, how she handled the hard conversations around leaving the ER rotation to be the Bachelorette, and the importance of talking about professions while dating. Jenn also reveals that what flags went up while getting know the men, how she feels about the gimmicks on the first night, going with her gut, the importance of being transparent when it comes to debt and finances, what she looks for in her partner’s career, and a rapidfire game of red, beige, and green flags. Which celebrity loves Jenn’s mom? Which former Bachelorette did she reach out to before starting her season? What was the first season of The Bachelor she watched?
Jenn reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

I don’t get tired watching Jen getting interviewed she is articulate smart beautiful and very interesting to talk to and indeed intelligent.. Great guest. Thanks for having her.

[@Alli_bossmama]

Lean into what makes you different, “you don’t wanna be like everyone else” ✨ Love that!

[@sbar3546]

Jenn, I am glad you speak several sentences without the filler word "like". Respect !

[@jaburamateletsi7949]

She is so natural ❤

[@zumo12476]

This interview made me like her even more! Smart, pragmatic and great head on her shoulders.

[@francinesanchez5402]

Welp, I haven’t watched bachelor/ette in years. But…..this interview drew me in! She’s wonderful! Wish her the best things…. I’ve been seeing the header for bachelorette pop up on one of the streaming channels and have been ignoring it. I’m not sure if I’ll keep watching, but I’ll def watch one. Good luck to her and great interview!

[@kaystamm669]

Loved this interview and how Jenn was so honest. I’m happy to hear she’s going back to school instead of becoming a social media influencer. Here for the right reasons!!! ❤

[@YJSBMMAMRA]

Yes! Our Sagittarius bachelorette queen! But in all honesty I feel like she would relate more to Rachel Lindsay being the first bachelorette of their race.

[@soekielagrange3725]

Whow. What a fantastic interview. Proud of you Jen. Will follow your season.

[@Julia-fm9se]

Love Jenn!! So glad she’s the bachelorette ❤

[@butterflyteom]

QUEEN JENNNN! Great interview, but was shocked at how many times Jason asked her about PA school stuff. Seems like she had to answer 5 variations of the same q. Poor girl 😂

[@Jason_Tartick]

Sorry I was so curious!! And this is a career and business focused

[@chele4real453]

Jenn is impressive…great interview 👏🏽

[@alyssad7019]

i really like her. i wish her so much luck. ❤️

[@Jason_Tartick]

🙌

[@claravo7610]

She is amazing!

[@shellyprice8477]

Fabulous interview with Jen! Well done, Jason❣️🎉🎉

[@lialia-tl5os]

Love her

[@Jason_Tartick]

🙌

[@HenrySeaGolfs]

she is smart

[@Jason_Tartick]

Brilliant!

[@terriluoto6139]

Jen is so poised, sharp whittled, direct in a matter of fact way. And every bit of her is 💯 sincere. Also she has a total JLo vibe, very sexy.

[@maniforoutan8270]

Jason is way more happier now ❤

[@helenlooney3430]

He seems to be. Happy for him!

[@TYD98]

@@helenlooney3430 Why what happen ?

[@MegaRico310]

Great interview Jason and Jenn is an awesome person! 🙏

[@jackielavelle7974]

Excellent interview.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@kristenmedina88]

I haven’t watched bachelorette since tayshia and started watching because of this girl! Love her

[@stephw4363]

She’s great!

[@caryntonh1037]

She’s great

[@Jason_Tartick]

💯

[@user-er6ec1vr3x]

all this time i've been listening and playing this

[@doodahgurlie]

This was a great interview. Really enjoyed it and I like how you converse with Jenn. The fact that Blake reached out to her...hmmm....Hahaha

[@DanielaPrimus]

I love how Jason explained and talked about his previous experience where 4 people signed the contract before actually knowing who was going to be the bachelor!!!. And Jenn has received so much hate because of her basically saying the exact same thing. So thanks for being transparent both of you :)

[@jsarria73]

❤❤ She's gorgeous Jenn originally 💘💘

[@thaos3228]

She is beautiful and smart.

[@patsypalmer2184]

i did really like Sam ! Just because he had little trouble explaining himself doesn’t mean he didn’t love her ! But he was a very nice looking guy to !

[@lyndaliow3445]

Beautiful woman and smart

[@rosemaryjackson3679]

It was refreshing to read all the positive comments below. Personally, this was least favorite Season thus far. It comes down to personal preference. I do wish her well.

[@colestarzman2830]

jason speaks to many words to ask a simple question.

[@ashleyashley4701]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🥰❤️🤗🌹😘

[@RationalNon-conformist]

She’s going to make way more money in this world that as PA..

[@christamichelle44]

Listening to the podcast, if someone loves medicine for the correct reasons of helping people, let her thrive in medicine! Finding someone who wants to help people is rare these days, asking her 5 separate times if she would leave medicine was overkill

[@paintedwolf44]

Jenn and Blake Moynes would be cute

[@cheriereuther7037]

💲👌

[@paintedwolf44]

PAs make 120K??? 😮

[@Blacksheep142]

PAs make $140k to $150k in Texas. She might not finish PA school because of the fame. Healthcare is not glamorous like being an influencer.

[@paintedwolf44]

I don't think she winds up with anyone

[@ninas2016]

What about values, morals, intellect, culture? These things matter more than career aspirations, student debt, income. Girl you gonna end up with a finance bro who cheats on you every chance he gets. But at least he’s ✨driven✨😒

[@oksanaml9279]

I have a feeling she's single.

[@jewely9757]

Please stop with the “people of color” bit. It’s getting tiresome. If anything, the Asian angle helped.

[@doodahgurlie]

It may be tiresome for someone who grew up white and don't experience it throughout their lives. It's real. It exists.

[@violetjane7152]

Ha , I love Kaitlyn, you’re such the fake ex boyfriend to use her to gain followers!
