“The Bachelorette”: Meet the 25 contestants hoping to woo Jenn Tran
The selection includes one mullet, two medical students, and the brother of a familiar Bachelor Nation face.
A sommelier, a "pet portrait entrepreneur," and even the twin brother of a familiar Bachelor Nation face — these are just some of the men who will vie to sweep Jenn Tran off her feet in the season premiere of The Bachelorette (July 8 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC). Who will charm the 26-year-old physician assistant student into handing them a rose, and who will go home on night one? Read on for our thoughts on the men of The Bachelorette, season 21.
Aaron, 29
Hometown: Tulsa, OK
Occupation: Aerospace Engineer
Fun fact: He's Noah Erb's older (by 7 minutes) twin brother! According to his bio, "Aaron and Noah are extremely close and even more competitive." Should we be worried that Aaron will try to beat Noah and Abigail to the altar this fall?
Austin, 28
Hometown: San Diego, CA
Occupation: Sales executive
Fun fact: Austin "needs to find a woman who will appreciate and accept his mullet." Has he tried Florida?
Brendan, 30
Hometown: Vancouver, British Columbia
Occupation: Real estate broker
Fun fact: "His last girlfriend left him for his best friend." Somewhere, producers are tapping their fingers together Mr. Burns style and murmuring, "Excellent..."
Brett, 28
Hometown: Manheim, PA
Occupation: Health and safety officer
Fun fact: "Brett loves to be the life of the party and won’t turn down anyone who challenges him to a dance-off." All right, Jenn Tran, prepare to get served!
Brian, 33
Hometown: Boynton Beach, FL
Occupation: Aesthetics consultant
Fun fact: "Brian loves Botox and doesn’t care who knows it!" Looks like someone's got his eye on a sponcon gig post show...
Dakota, 27
Hometown: Paradise Valley, AZ
Occupation: Sommelier
Fun fact: "Dakota spontaneously drove to Mexico at 3 a.m. with just the clothes on his back." Was there, like, an emergency wine meeting he had to get to or something?
Devin, 28
Hometown: Houston, TX
Occupation: Freight company owner
Fun fact: "Devin loves eating shrimp tacos despite being allergic to shrimp." Um, Devin, is this a cry for help? Blink twice if you want us to call a therapist.
Dylan, 24
Hometown: Elk Grove, CA
Occupation: Medical student
Fun fact: "Dylan has never stepped foot in a Trader Joe’s." Weird flex, bro.
Grant, 30
Hometown: Houston, TX
Occupation: Day trader
Fun fact: "Grant is a mama’s boy who loves poetry and reading." Already, Grant is the most interesting man here.
Hakeem, 29
Hometown: Schaumberg, IL
Occupation: Medical device salesman
Fun fact: "Hakeem can fully clap with just one hand." This man had better exit the limo giving Jenn a one-handed round of applause...
Jahan, 28
Hometown: New York, NY
Occupation: Startup founder
Fun fact: Jahan, who landed on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list in 2023, is "out of commission if he gets hangry." You just know producers are going to hide the hors d'oeuvres from him on night one.
Jeremy, 29
Hometown: New York, NY
Occupation: Real estate investor
Fun fact: "Jeremy is happiest when he gets a full eight hours of sleep." Oh boy, you're going to be hating life on night one, buddy.
John, 25
Hometown: Delray Beach, FL
Occupation: Medical student
Fun fact: "One time John stayed awake for 36-plus hours playing Ping-Pong." Well, we know he wasn't playing with Jeremy, Mr. "I need 8 hours of sleep."
Jonathon, 27
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Occupation: Creative director
Fun fact: "Jonathon calls himself a 'medium king.'" We're going to assume he's talking about his height...?
Kevin, 35
Hometown: Denver, CO
Occupation: Financial analyst
Fun fact: "Kevin cannot under any circumstance tolerate bugs." Well, you're never gonna make it in Paradise, buddy.
Marcus, 31
Hometown: Raleigh, NC
Occupation: Army Ranger veteran
Fun fact: "Marcus’ favorite flower is the edelweiss because it’s a symbol of dedication." Great, now we've got that song in our head again. Thanks a lot, Marcus.
Marvin, 28
Hometown: Santa Monica, CA
Occupation: Luxury event planner
Fun fact: Marcus "considers himself a romantic and is looking for a wife who has 'sugar, spice and everything nice.'" Not loving that his ideal woman matches the description of a sexist nursery rhyme that was written 200 years ago, but okay.
Matt, 27
Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Occupation: Insurance executive
Fun fact: Matt "is really into meditation and hopes to find a woman who is all Zen, no drama." Here's the good news, Matt: Jenn doesn't seem like a particularly dramatic woman. The bad news? A reality show is the last place you'll find a meditative atmosphere.
Moze, 25
Hometown: Albany, NY
Occupation: Algebra teacher
Fun fact: "Moze can’t date you if you have a pet tarantula." There's a story here, and I really, really hope we get to hear it.
Ricky, 28
Hometown: Miami, FL
Occupation: Pharmaceutical representative
Fun fact: "Ricky’s favorite author is Jodi Picoult and he loves reading her books." Wait, Jenn has two literate men to choose from? This might be a Bachelorette record!
Sam M., 27
Hometown: Myrtle Beach, SC
Occupation: Contractor
Fun fact: "He loves riding motorcycles, golfing, and watching Sons of Anarchy." Even that terrible season when they went to Ireland?
Sam N., 25
Hometown: Carlsbad, CA
Occupation: Entrepreneur
Fun fact: "Sam N. loves watching rom-coms and spending time with his BFF, aka his dog, Wagmi." Those are hobbies we can get behind.
Spencer, 30
Hometown: Dallas, TX
Occupation: Pet portrait entrepreneur
Fun fact: "Spencer loves watching and rewatching The Office.” Wait until he finds out there's a guy here who has the same name as Dwight's creepy cousin!
Thomas N., 31
Hometown: Tucker, GA
Occupation: Retirement advisor
Fun fact: "Thomas N. is a former professional swimmer." Then he should have no problem with all the hot tubs.
Tomas A., 27
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario
Occupation: Physiotherapist
Fun fact: "Tomas A. has gone ice skating thousands of times." We love a man with strong ankles!
