The child and family therapist's journey for love is about to begin!
Charity Lawson's suitors have been revealed! On Thursday, ABC announced the 25 men who will vie for the 27-year-old child and family therapist's heart on season 20 of The Bachelorette.
The group, which ranges in age from 24 to 33, includes six Californians and four New Yorkers, with other men hailing from everywhere from Michigan to Hawaii. Their jobs are equally varied, as men with careers from firefighting to pro wrestling to underwater welding are represented.
It appears to be a good group of guys, something Charity hinted at when ET exclusively spoke to her after her first night as the franchise lead.
"It was a good one," Charity told ET of night one, when her suitors made their limo entrances. "I'm a little giddy. Definitely smitten. I have a good batch of boys... I was laughing the whole night."
As for what she's hoping the men will bring to the table, Charity said she wants "someone who can let their walls down, be their true selves and hold nothing back," and noted that she will quickly end things if "dishonesty" enters the picture.
"I just want to continue to grow as a person," she told ET of her hopes for the season. "I know this role is going to challenge me... so hopefully [I'm able] to continue to grow as a person and just trust my heart."
