“Bachelorette” Jennifer Saro: For her, that’s a no-go for a man

On July 12, Jennifer Saro (27) starts as the tenth RTL “Bachelorette”. Filming in Thailand was a special challenge for her because she has a young son (1). As a young mother, she also pays attention to very specific things with a new partner, as she reveals in an interview with the news agency spot on news.

Why did you decide to become “Bachelorette”?

Jennifer Saro: I’m participating because I want to fall in love and because it hasn’t worked out so far. And it’s nice to get to know someone in this way again. Unbiased, without influence or without having to write much beforehand. You can just get to know the person for who they are and nothing will distract you. And I think that’s the right way to fall in love.

You’ve been single for five years. Why didn’t love work out?

Saro: The first few years I was very focused on myself. I came from a long relationship and wanted to get to know myself first. I moved to Cologne on my own, worked after my studies and built up Instagram and YouTube on the side. Then there wasn’t much time for dating. It was also clear to me that I only want to have a relationship that I can imagine for a longer period of time. And it’s not that easy to find someone like that. That’s why I took my time and didn’t just take the next best thing.

What are your dating experiences as a mother?

Saro: I used a dating app because I didn’t have time to go out. Then I always said straight away that I had a child. So far only one man has said that this is a problem for him.

And how was it in the villa? You are the first “Bachelorette” with a child. How did the men react to that?

Saro: I would say you can’t know that until you’ve seen it. I don’t want to reveal too much in advance.

Would it be an advantage for you if a new partner were already a father?

Saro: I wouldn’t have a problem with that, because then he would know what it’s like to have a child and that the partner doesn’t come first. But it’s also not a requirement for me.

What qualities are particularly important to you in a man?

Saro: It’s important to me that I can laugh with him and that he’s honest. Even the smallest lie is a problem for me, my trust is gone immediately. Then it is also important to me that he is loving and can talk about his feelings. Because that’s what I want to teach my son, of course.

Can you imagine more children and marriage?

Saro: Yes, I can well imagine that. But I want everything to be perfect and we plan a child together if it suits us.

You are very busy as an influencer and mother. Is there even room for a man?

Sara: Definitely! I wish that you enrich each other and have an even better time together than alone and support each other. But I’m not looking for a substitute father or someone who takes on responsibility. It’s just supposed to be a little “add on” to my life. Under no circumstances should he move straight to me. Especially with a small child you don’t bring everyone into the house.

How were you able to reconcile filming in Thailand with your son?

Saro: One of my best friends was there. She is a trained educator and has extra training for small children and infants. She is one of the dearest people I know. That’s why I always have a good feeling about it. I could also see cookie every day. There are also days when there is no shooting, and I spent the whole time with him.

Did you – especially as a mother – set limits in advance as to how far you will go in terms of intimacy on the show?

Saro: Even if I wasn’t watching TV, I wouldn’t sleep with anyone right away. I also couldn’t reconcile sleeping with one person one night and kissing someone else the next.

Were you able to remember the names of all the candidates?

Saro: I really couldn’t do it on the first evening, I messed everything up. But the next day I sat down straight away, wrote everything down and memorized it. That was important to me. To me, that’s a sign that you respect someone.

Did you have contact with your predecessors to get tips?

Saro: I actually don’t know any personally. Now in hindsight I once wrote with Sharon Battiste. And the last bachelor David Jackson reached out and offered his help if I had any questions.

There has been a lot of speculation about who your winner is. How do you find that?

Saro: That doesn’t annoy me at all. There are always rumours, it’s perfectly normal. You will then see whether they are correct.
