The Bachelorette (American TV series) season 15

The fifteenth season of The Bachelorette premiered on May 13, 2019. The season featured Hannah Brown, a 24-year-old interior designer from Northport, Alabama. Brown was crowned Miss Alabama USA 2018 and represented Alabama at Miss USA 2018.

Brown finished in seventh place on season 23 of The Bachelor featuring Colton Underwood. She was the first Bachelorette lead not to have placed in the top four of a season of The Bachelor, and is the youngest bachelorette in the show's history.

The season concluded on July 30, 2019, with Brown accepting a proposal from 25-year-old singer/songwriter Jed Wyatt.

Controversy
On June 18, 2019, People released a story that contestant Jed Wyatt was in a relationship with Nashville musician Haley Stevens before and during filming of the season. Stevens stated that Wyatt promised her he was going on the show purely to further his music career, that he did not intend to begin a relationship with Brown, and any appearance of him pursuing Hannah Brown was simply "acting". She photographed an alleged note from Wyatt saying "someday we will be thankful for all of this". Brown ended her relationship with Wyatt following this news.
