Brooke Blurton may have failed to find love on Nick Cummins’ season of The Bachelor in 2018, and again on Bachelor In Paradise the following year, but she hasn’t given up on her dream of starting a family with The One.
WATCH BELOW: First look at Brooke Blurton as the Bachelorette
The 26-year-old is heading back to reality TV as this year’s Bachelorette, and in a world first she has both guys and girls vying for her final rose…
Here, Brooke dishes on her Bachelorette experience, including proposals, babies and more.
Why did you want to be the Bachelorette?
It felt like the right timing for me. And I think this time it was a different position to be in. Being chosen to be the Bachelorette, I have more choice in my partners.
Have you reached out to any past Bachelorettes for advice?
Yeah, I reached out to quite a few. They were quite constructive. Some were successful, some weren’t, but they all said I should just lean into the experience.
What are you looking for in a partner?
I like people who are more compassionate and giving, but I also like people who are athletic and can keep up with me [laughs]. But I just want someone who sees me for who I am.
On the other hand, what is a deal-breaker for you in a relationship?
I think someone who is not open-minded, someone who is closed off to the idea that I’m a bisexual woman.
Would you consider proposing at the end of the series?
Absolutely, to the right person! Yeah, it’s always been on my mind and I don’t care if it’s a guy or girl, I would propose.
Are kids something you want in the future?
Kids are definitely something that I have always wanted. I love being a cool aunty, but I would love to be a mum.
The Bachelorette, Wed. 7.30pm on TEN
