The ‘Bachelorette’ star Sam M.’s family has been shading the show on social media, claiming he got a ‘bad edit.’ Here’s what to know.
Jenn’s relationship with Sam on “The Bachelorette” started off strong when he got the first impression rose. But Sam’s conflicts with other men in the house have given Jenn pause. Sam’s family members took to social media to say the show gave him a “bad edit.”
Jenn Tran’s season of “The Bachelorette” is underway, and the competition among the men is getting more intense each week.
Sam McKinney, one of the 25 guys competing on season 21, quickly hit it off with Jenn on night one and earned the first impression rose.
While Sam and Jenn have strong physical chemistry, their relationship was tested during a one-on-one date in Auckland, New Zealand, when he spoke on her behalf and said they would jump off the Skytower together despite Jenn’s fear of heights.
Sam emphasized that he wanted her to be “comfortable being uncomfortable” and conquer her fears, but Jenn felt that he was dismissive and unsupportive. The date turned around, though, and concluded with a dinner during which Jenn said she felt confident in their emotional connection and hopeful for their future together.
Can their relationship go the distance? Here’s everything to know about Sam M. and his connection with Jenn on “The Bachelorette.”
Sam M. is a general contractor from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Sam, 27, is one of five children. He attended Socastee High School, where he was on the football, baseball, and wrestling teams. After graduating, he attended Wofford College.
According to his bio on ABC’s website, outside his current work as a contractor, Sam enjoys “riding motorcycles, golfing, and watching ‘Sons of Anarchy.'” Based on his Instagram profile, he seems to be a dog lover, too.
Prior to “The Bachelorette,” Sam was single for almost a year.
During the season premiere, he explained that his fiancé, who he had known since middle school, cheated on him and there was “no repairing that relationship.”
“That was definitely the biggest heartbreak I’ve ever experienced,” he said.
Despite this, Sam is still determined to fulfill his dream of being a husband and father.
