When Does 'The Bachelorette' 2022 Start? How to Watch Season 19

If you're going to watch any season of "The Bachelorette," consider this one. The dating show, a spin-off of "The Bachelor," has been on the air since 2003. Since then, there have been engagements, breakups and a whole lot of drama.

But Season 19, premiering in July, is making history. This will be the first season to feature two Bachelorettes.

Leads Gabriela "Gabby" Windey, 31, and Rachel Recchia, 26, were first introduced in Clayton Echard's season of "The Bachelor," which aired in 2022.
