Sam McKinney On Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette Season aka S21
On the first night of the show, Sam McKinney, a contestant for season 21 of The Bachelorette, enthralled leading lady Jenn Tran. He received a first impression rose and the first and only kiss of the evening. But will they become engaged?
Beginning on Joey Graziadei’s Bachelor season, Jenn, a 26-year-old physician assistant student originally from Hillsdale, New Jersey, is now residing in Miami, Florida. Before bidding her farewell just before his hometown dates, she reached his list of the Top 6 women. Now that season 21 of The Bachelorette has begun, Jenn is prepared to carry on with her search for love. As the first-ever Asian American lead in the Bachelor series, she is creating history.
Sam M, a contractor from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, “brightens every room with his dazzling smile,” according to his official ABC bio.
“His tattoos and muscles might look tough on the outside, but Sam M. swears he’s a total softie. He’s always been a relationship guy and says his ‘ultimate dream’ is to be a loving husband and father,” the bio continues. “Sam M. has been in love before and is extremely loyal when it comes to his partner. Cheating is his No. 1 deal-breaker and is looking for a partner as loyal as he is. When Sam M. isn’t working in contracting, he loves riding motorcycles, golfing, and watching Sons of Anarchy. For Sam M., this journey is all about finding his forever, so here’s hoping he can find that meaningful connection with Jenn.”
Sam and Jenn clicked right away on their first date. After Sam walked into the mansion, Jenn called him “a hottie” with “a lot of Southern charm.” She enthusiastically referred to Sam as “a sexy cowboy” and said that she had always wanted to date a cowboy.
As a result, she gave him her desired first impression, making the other guys jealous. She waited until the very end of the evening to give him her very first and only premiere night kiss, and it was intense.
On The Bachelorette season 21, Jenn and Sam appear to have the closest bond thus far, but in the end, Jenn decides not to pop the question. Jenn is engaged to Devin Strader, according to Reality Steve. Her runner-up was Marcus Shoberg.
It would be intriguing to watch why Jenn and Sam, who have an undeniable emotional and physical connection, don’t get engaged by the end of The Bachelorette season 21. Thus far, Jenn has done an amazing job as the Bachelorette, taking care to get to know the men better before rushing into partnerships. It was a welcome change to witness her on premiere night kiss just one man and not become overly engrossed in the occasion.
