When was Jenn Tran’s season of ‘The Bachelorette’ filmed?
Jenn Tran was announced as the next bachelorette during the season finale of The Bachelor in March. Tran had a couple of months to prepare for her upcoming season while the casting team found the perfect men to vie for her attention. ABC announced the complete list of her suitors just weeks ago.
Season 21 of The Bachelorette was filmed in May and June 2024. Over six weeks, Tran dated more than two dozen men before allegedly picking the man of her dreams. While Tran’s season has not yet premiered, spoilers already suggest it could be a bit of a whirlwind for fans of the famed franchise.
Reality Steve theorizes that Tran will leave the series as an engaged woman after photos of the TV personality heading to her final rose ceremony were leaked. Tran looked positively bridal in a white lace dress in the spy shots. Who exactly she will hand over the final rose to, however, remains a mystery.
