Fans of The Bachelorette love to speculate about who will be the next lead. Spoilers have leaked about who the next Bachelorette will be, but there’s been no official announcement. So it’s only natural that fans let their imaginations run wild and came up with an idea for a lead that no one ever expected. When news broke that Jennifer Lopez is now single, Bachelor Nation fans felt that she would be the perfect Bachelorette.
The search for the next Bachelorette this year has not been an easy one. ABC flip-flopped on its decision multiple times before settling on a non-traditional plan. The network will film two seasons of The Bachelorette this year with two different Bachelorettes. At the same time, the world recently learned that Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have called off their two-year engagement. Bachelor Nation fans put two and two together and came up with an idea for the most dramatic season ever.

A fan account on Instagram posted a mock promotional poster for a season of The Bachelorette with Lopez as the lead. The newly-single J-Lo would easily be the highest profile lead the franchise has ever had, and it’s hard not to fantasize about the kind of ratings boost she would bring. Fans were fully on board in the comments section and thought it was a fantastic idea, even if it wasn’t very probable.
Even some Bachelor Nation alum thought it was a great idea. Bachelor in Paradise regular Chris Bukowski said “yes please.” Fans were excited for the idea, saying “this would be amaze-balls!” Some joked about the ways the franchise would change with Lopez as the lead. “I want the rose ceremonies to be replaced with screenings of Gigli,” another fan said. Other followers joked that this was what the “Bachelor for seniors” ads have been for.
Though fans may want to see Jenny from the block as The Bachelorette, it’s highly doubtful that the mega A-lister would stoop to the level of reality TV. For now, the franchise seems content to cast leads from its pool of past contestants. Though with the casting of outsider Matt James, maybe the network is more open to thinking outside the box than fans assume. It may not be likely, but a season with Jennifer Lopez would be one for the books.
