After this, Jenn compares her experience to Kelly and Mark’s meeting. However, Kelly wasn’t having it. She immediately squashes that idea, “Those are not the same. We were both professional.” Furthermore, Kelly questions, “Are you acting on your show?” Then, she states, “I didn’t marry [Mark’s character] Mateo Santos. I married Mark Consuelos.”

Jenn Tran Doesn’t Need Help
While Jenn Tran doesn’t necessarily need help in the dating scene, she expresses to Kelly Ripa how much of an honor it is for her to represent her heritage. After appearing on The Bachelor to attempt to win over Joey Graziadei‘s heart, Jenn is embracing her chance to find love again. Undeniably, she is so pleased to represent her roots. She says, “I wanted to portray my story in the best way possible.” Then, she vulnerable expresses, “I wanted to please everybody but that’s not realistic.” Admittedly, she knows that wasn’t an option. She adds, “You can’t possibly please everybody.” Instead, she began to focus her efforts on herself. She continues, “I just was authentic to myself and told my story in the way that makes sense to me.”
While Jenn Tran‘s mom was initially hesitant to appear on TV, she eventually agreed to the feat. Jenn opened up to Kelly Ripa, “She was excited for me and for me to be the first Asian Bachelorette.” Also, she explained that her mom made many sacrifices for her family as an immigrant, and she was proud of Jenn. She says, “She knows how much that means too. We have just been wanting representation our whole lives.”
