Who’s the Next Bachelorette For 2024? We Just Found Out

Jenn Tran (The Bachelor Season 28)

Original season: The Bachelor Season 28 (Joey Graziadei)

Sent home: Week 7

Jennifer “Jenn” Tran, a 25-year-old PA Student from Hillsdale, New Jersey, is also a favorite to become the next Bachelorette for Season 21. Jenn went home in Week 7 on The Bachelor Season 28 with Joey Graziadei after she was eliminated in the Rose Ceremony before Hometown Dates, along with Kelsey Toussant.

On March 25, 2024, after the Bachelor finale aired, Jenn was announced as the next Bachelorette. “I’m overwhelmed, it’s crazy,” she said. “It feels so surreal to be sitting here.” She went on to say that she feels “so, so grateful” to be the first Asian lead in the Bachelor franchise. “Growing up, I always wanted to see Asian representation on TV,” she explained. “Now, to be here today… being like, ‘I am going to be the main character in my story,’ I can’t help but think of how many people I’m inspiring and how many lives I can impact.”

If Jenn, who is of Vietnamese descent, is the first Asian lead in Bachelor Nation history. “JENN FOR BACHELORETTE i am seated!,” a user tweeted. Another wrote, “Just letting y’all know that Jenn got the Bachelorette exit. #TheBachelor” One more user tweeted, “CAN WE PLS GET OUR FIRST ASIAN BACHELORETTE 🌹 Jenn’s speech in the car screams potential and she deserves it ❤️❤️.” Another user wrote, “Jenn for Bachelorette! Not only is she intelligent, hilarious, sweet, genuine, and stunning, but why has this show been on for over two decades without an Asian lead?!”

One reason that could’ve stopped Jenn from being the next Bachelorette or being on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 is her current enrollment as a physician assistant student, she had to take a break from to film The Bachelor Season 28. “First and foremost, no I did not drop out of school,” she said in an Instagram post in February 2024. “The deciding factor of me putting my career on hold was, honestly, Joey. I was terrified when I found out it was Joey because I realized that it was all becoming real and that I needed to ask permission from my school to go and do the show.”

“She was so supportive of it,” Jenn continued of her advisor’s reaction to her taking a break from PA school to film The Bachelor. “[She was like] ‘We can absolutely do this. We can put two rotations on hold for you and you can just repeat them after advanced didactic year.’”

Maria Georgas (The Bachelor Season 28)

Original season: The Bachelor Season 28 (Joey Graziadei)

Sent home: Fourth place

Maria Georgas, a 29-year-old executive assistant from Kleinburg, Ontario, is the clear fan favorite to become the next Bachelorette for Season 21. Maria went home in fourth place on The Bachelor Season 28 with Joey Graziadei after she was eliminated in the Rose Ceremony following Hometown Dates. Fans believed that The Bachelor teased Maria as the next Bachelorette in a casting promo for The Bachelorette Season 21 in Episode 6 of The Bachelor Season 28, which used the word “slap shot,” a term viewers believed to be a clue that the next Bachelorette is Canadian. Slap shot is a term in ice hockey that refers to “a hard, fast, and often wild shot executed with a powerful downward swing, and with the blade of the stick brushing firmly against the ice prior to striking the puck,” according to Collins Dictionary.

Given that Canada’s official national sport is ice hockey, viewers believed that the promo was a clue that the next Bachelorette is from Canada. There were two contestants The Bachelor Season 28 who are from Canada: Maria and Lexi Young, a 30-year-old Digital Strategist who is originally from Toronto. Lexi was sent home in Week 7.

“Ok so for the two ads I’ve seen for the casting of men for the new bachelorette they’ve made two Canada references ( something about slap shot which is hockey lingo and they asked in French in the second one ) MARIA THE BACHELORETTE!????? #thebachelor,” a user tweeted after the promo. Another user wrote, “From that promo I think Maria is the next Bachelorette. I mean I love hockey and I’m not from Canada. It is strongly associated with Cananda though. Slapshot at love #TheBachelor.” One more user tweeted, “Be on the next season of Bachelorette… slapshot…hockey…Canada…. #TheBachelor#TheBachelor.”

A source also claimed to DeuxMoi in March 2024 that Maria was the next Bachelorette. “Also, Maria is the next Bachelorette unless something goes seriously awry. Was decided a long time ago,” the source said.

Maria received her first One-on-One Date in Week 6, which was filmed in Montreal, Canada. While the slap shot reference in The Bachelorette Season 21 promo that aired in that episode could be a nod to the episode filming in Canada, there was no denying that fans wanted Maria as the next Bachelorette. “MARIA IS GETTING THE BACHELORETTE EDIT MARIA IS GETTING THE BACHELORETTE EDIT 🗣️🗣️🗣️ #TheBachelor #bachelor #bachelorabc #thebachelorabc,” a user tweeted. Another user wrote, “If Maria doesn’t marry Joey, I really hope she’s our next Bachelorette. She deserves it after everything she went through in that house #TheBachelor.” One more user tweeted, “Maria for bachelorette would honestly save the franchise. & the world #thebachelorette.”

Reality Steve also confirmed on his podcast in March 2024 that the next Bachelorette is likely between Maria and Daisy Kent, who made it to the finale of The Bachelor Season 28. “This is probably a situation where it’s between Maria and Daisy,” Steve said. “I think the show is very well aware that they are deciding between Maria and Daisy, I do not think they have made a decision yet.”

He continued, “ABC can do whatever they want because they’ve got us all over a barrel just dissecting everything. They’ve told people in the past they are the lead, and all of a sudden they weren’t. Because they changed their mind at the last minute… It’s a 50/50 shot, it’s not like, oh my gosh, someone’s gonna come out of left field,” Steve said. “No, it’s more than likely, based on everything I’ve heard, going to be between Daisy or Maria.”

Maria also responded to rumors she was the next Bachelorette in an interview with E! News after she was sent home on The Bachelor Season 28. “I’m in awe of it,” Maria said. “I always wanted to be on the show, but not once did I ever think I could get the opportunity to be the Bachelorette.” She continued, “Maybe the second time I’d do it better. And I would get my head in the game. Well, actually, I’d get out of my head.”

Maria also explained what she learned from her time on The Bachelor Season 28, telling E! News that she wished she “took a second to myself to take a couple deep breaths and [tell myself], ‘Don’t do anything that’s going to jeopardize this.’ Hindsight is 20/20.”

If Maria was the next Bachelorette for 2024, she would follow Season 20 Bachelorette Charity Lawson, who also was sent home in fourth place on The Bachelor Season 27 with Zach Shallcross and became the Bachelorette. Season 23 Bachelor Colton Underwood also went home in fourth place on The Bachelorette Season 14 before he became the Bachelor. Maria would also be one of the few “villains” to become the lead of a Bachelor Nation show after her feuds with contestants Sydney Gordon and Lea Cayanan on The Bachelor Season 28.

Daisy Kent (The Bachelor Season 28)

Original season: The Bachelor Season 28 (Joey Graziadei)

Daisy Kent, a 25-year-old Account Executive from Becker, Minnesota, is another popular choice to be the next Bachelorette for Season 21. Daisy received the first Impression Rose on The Bachelor Season 28 with Joey Graziadei and made it to the final three. A source told DeuxMoi in March 2024 that Daisy was in talks to become the next Bachelorette for 2024 after she was seen at dinner with two producers from The Bachelor franchise. “Hi Deux! Back again- and at Baltaire again too lol. Spotted daisy from The Bachelor CLEARLY in chats with 2 producers at dinner. Wining and dining her SO hard. Definitely chatting about next Bachelorette status- just wait for the announcement,” the source claimed.

Fans also believed that Daisy would be the next Bachelorette for 2024 because she was the “safe” option out of all of Joey’s contestants. “If the producers want to go the traditional route; Daisy for bachelorette,” a Reddit user wrote in March 2024. Another user commented, “Daisy is a very blank canvas with a good story and has been the second most popular contestant this season in terms of social media growth.” One more user wrote, “She is a very safe pick that the producers can mold whatever storylines they want to with her.”

If Daisy was the next Bachelorette, she would follow Season 13 Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay, who also received the First Impression Rose on The Bachelor Season 21 with Nick Viall and became the Bachelorette. Daisy would also be the first Bachelorette with hearing loss. Daisy revealed on The Bachelor Season 28 that she received a cochlear implant in 2023 after losing her hearing from Lyme disease and Meniere’s disease, an inner ear condition that causes poor fluid balance in the ear and can destroy that cochlea, a hearing organ. “For me, walking into a big room and there’s a lot of voices and a lot of noises bouncing off the wall no matter where I am, it can be a little bit overwhelming because there’s so much sound coming in from different areas,” Daisy said in a TikTok video at the time of The Bachelor Season 28’s premiere.

Reality Steve confirmed on his podcast in March 2024 that Daisy and Maria Georgas are the two contestants in the running to be the next Bachelorette. Daisy was the second contestant on The Bachelor with hearing loss after Abigail Heringer on The Bachelor Season 25 with Matt James, who was born profoundly deaf and also had a cochlear implant at two years old.

Lexi Young (The Bachelor Season 28)

Original season: The Bachelor Season 28 (Joey Graziadei)

Went home: Ninth place (Self-eliminated)

Lexi Young, a 30-year-old Digital Strategist from Pataskala, Ohio, went home in ninth place on The Bachelor Season 28 with Joey Graziadei after she self-eliminated following a conversation with Joey about his timeline for marriage and a family. Lexi, who was diagnosed with endometriosis, condition in which endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus, quit The Bachelor due to her different vision for her future and wanting children as soon as possible.

Since her self-elimination, fans have called for Lexi to be the next Bachelorette. “lexi for bachelorette,” a user tweeted. Another wrote, “Agreed with Lexi 🙁 I wish she wouldn’t have left so early in the show. I respect her opinion, given the circumstances and her timeline, but had she stayed a bit longer I think she’d have a better shot/more screen time to become a fan fav & become the next bachelorette.” One more user tweeted, “who are y’all going for the bachelorette?? low key hoping for Jen but feel like they’ll go for lexi or daisy (if she doesn’t get picked) #TheBachelor.”

If Lexi would become the next Bachelorette, she would follow Season 17 Bachelorette Katie Thurston who also went home in Week 6 and became the Bachelorette. Katie, who went home in 11th place, is one of the few early eliminees on The Bachelor to become the next Bachelorette.

Kelsey Toussant (The Bachelor Season 28)

Original season: The Bachelor Season 28 (Joey Graziadei)

Went home: Week 7

Kelsey Toussant, a 31-year-old Actress from Inglewood, California, was a late fan favorite on The Bachelor Season 28 with Joey Graziadei but her elimination in Week 7 was felt by fans who wanted her as the next Bachelorette. Kelsey was sent home at the Rose Ceremony before Hometown Dates, along with Jenn Tran. “Kelsey T for bachelorette and Maria in paradise is my ideal situation,” a user tweeted. Another user wrote, “I’d like to see Kelsey T. as The Bachelorette! Maria is entertaining television, so maybe, but I’m a sucker who actually watches for the love story and I’m doubtful it would last.” One more user wrote, “I hope the next bachelorette is Jenn or Kelsey T.. if not Jenn then I hope we see her on bachelor in paradise.”

Who Is the Bachelor 2024, Joey Graziadei?

Who is the Bachelor for 2024, Joey Graziadei? Joey is a 28-year-old professional tennis player from Koloa, Hawaii, and the runner-up on The Bachelorette Season 20 with Charity Lawson, was announced as the Season 28 Bachelor at The Bachelorette Season 20 “After the Final Rose” special in August 2023. “It’s sinking in very slowly but I’m trying my best just to stay present, enjoy it, but this is crazy. I mean, I’ll be the first person to say this is wild. I never expected this at all, didn’t know this is what my life is turning at this moment. So yeah, crazy stuff, but I’m excited,” Joey said.

Joey, who called the experience “surreal,” told host Jesse Palmer that he felt ready to look for love again after Charity sent him home at the Final Rose Ceremony over her winner, Dotun Olubeko. “I’m more ready than I was in that moment,” Joey said. “For me, it was just, you have to take some time to get a little bit more closure. Watching Dotun and Charity’s connection was enough for me.”

Joey, who claimed that the breakup “opened up a part of me that wanted something so bad,” also told Palmer what he was looking for in a future partner. “Someone that’s just themselves that I can truthfully be a partner with. I want someone that challenges me. I want someone that I can challenge. I just want someone to do life with. I just want someone that’s going to be my person,” he said.

During The Bachelorette Season 20 “After the Final Rose” special, Joey also met his first contestant, Leia, who was in the audience for the live taping. “I think we have a lot in common, so I’m excited to kind of explore that,” Leia told Joey during the episode. In an Instagram video after the “After the Final Rose” special, Joey confirmed that was the Bachelor for the right reasons. “I’m definitely the hopeless romantic,” he said. “I want to be married. I want to have a love that lasts a lifetime. So I’m really ready to go on this journey.”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in August 2023, Charity commended Joey for a conversation they had about interracial relationships during her Bachelorette season. “It’s huge to have had the opportunity to have that conversation, and then for it to be aired on national television — we don’t see it a lot, especially in this franchise. It was something that I was a little nervous about because I just did not know how it was going to go,” she said. “But my whole plan of being a Black woman in this lead role is having these important conversations. Also, there were conversations that I had with several other men that did not make air, and that’s OK. But it was one of my priorities to have conversations about something that’s extremely important to me and that would essentially become a very important part of their lives, too, if they ended up with me.”

In a blog post in July 2023, Reality Steve named Joey as The Bachelorette Season 20 contestant most likely to become the next Bachelor for Season 28. “I know Joey fans won’t be happy, but it is what it is,” Reality Steve wrote about Joey not receiving Charity’s Final Rose. “I’m sure he’s got a great shot for Bachelor, so I guess just hope for that. He seems to have the biggest following of Charity’s men and will be the sentimental favorite once Charity breaks up with him at final rose ceremony. So you’d think he’s got a good shot at it, but who knows.”

Read Joey’s Bachelorette 2023 biography and fun facts ahead:

“’Love’ may mean nothing in tennis, but to Joey, it’s everything! After graduation, this tennis pro quickly realized the corporate world wasn’t for him and moved to Hawaii to live his passion of teaching his favorite sport. Spending his days on the court and evenings on the beach watching the sunset with friends, Joey’s life is truly paradise. The only thing missing is someone with whom to share it. Outgoing, friendly and loyal, Joey is looking for a partner who can share in his love for adventure. Will he find a doubles partner in Charity? Here’s to hoping it’s “game, set, match” for Joey!

Fun Facts:

• Joey is a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan.
