The 14th season of The Bachelorette premiered on May 28, 2018. The season featured 28-year-old Becca Kufrin, a publicist.

She first appeared on the 21nd season of The Bachelor, where she got engaged to Arie Luyendyk Jr..

She ultimately chose Garrett Yrigoyen and accepted his proposal.

Filming and development

Arie broke off his engagement to Becca shortly after filming had wrapped. He went on to get engaged to the runner-up.

Becca was announced as the new bachelorette on the After the Final Rose show.

On May 22, 2018, Chris Harrison teased that Becca is happily engaged.

Casting and contestants

Becca got to meet five of the men, at the After the Final Rose show.

Controversies

The show came under fire when it was revealed that Garrett Yrigoyen, who was the recipient of the "First Impression" rose, had liked offensive posts on Instagram that mocked the trans community, immigrants, and liberal women, along with one post that referred to a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting as a crisis actor. He later apologized on Instagram for the hurt and offense that liking the posts may have caused and stated that he will be more mindful of what he likes in the future as those likes "were not a true reflection of [him] or [his morals]".

On June 13, 2018, the show came under more fire for allowing contestant Lincoln Adim to be on the show after he had been charged with groping and assaulting a female on a harbor cruise ship on May 30, 2016. He was convicted of this crime after he had finished filming and one week before the season premiered. He will have to register as a sex-offender. Warner Bros., who produces the show, claims that he lied about facing sexual misconduct charges and that they use a third-party company to do background checks, claiming:

"The report we received did not reference any incident or charge relating to the recent conviction ― or any other charges relating to sexual misconduct. We are currently investigating why the report did not contain this information, which we will share when we have it."

Contestants

The season began with 28 contestants.

Future appearances

David Ravitz, Joe Amabile, John Graham, Jordan Rodgers and Nick Spetsas will compete in the 5th season of Bachelor in Paradise. Chris Randone, Colton Underwood, Connor Obrochta and Wills Reid will join the following their respective eliminations.
