30 charming men will join Michelle Young on her romantic journey when season 18 starts Oct. 19, 2021 on ABC.

Michelle Young is finally taking her shot at love when season 18 of "The Bachelorette" kicks off Oct. 19, on ABC. The 28-year-old grade-school teacher from Minnesota initially captured audiences' hearts after joining Matt James' season of "The Bachelor" earlier this year.

Bachelor Nation even got a glimpse of how sweet Young is with her students when they crashed her hometowns date with James via Zoom. Not only is Young focused on preparing the next generation of leaders, but she's ready to start a family of her own.

Young is a former Division I basketball player and is looking for her "teammate for life," according to ABC. Thirty charming bachelors will join Young in Indian Wells, California, on her journey for love.
