LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sam Nejad, an Iranian entrepreneur, is gearing up to participate in 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, to find his potential life partner. Hailing from Carlsbad, California, Sam comes from a large Persian family where family approval holds significant importance in his life choices, including relationships. Despite his career success, Sam admits to having limited dating experience, making this journey on 'The Bachelorette' both exciting and nerve-wracking for him.

According to Sam, he has never been in a relationship before and the 25-year-old has never proposed a girl in his life. In his time on the ABC show, Sam will strive to win over Jenn Tran's heart, not only to make her his first girlfriend but also his wife. And Sam has already made some progress in this regard as the trailer made it evident that the Iranian entrepreneur was successful in securing an one-on-one date with the star of the show. 

Sam Nejad enjoys adventurous activities 

Known for his adventurous spirit, Sam enjoys engaging in thrilling activities such as zip lining, which aligns with his preference for exciting and adrenaline-pumping dates. In his leisure time, he finds peace in watching romantic comedies, perhaps seeking inspiration or simply enjoying the light-hearted entertainment they offer. Sam also shares a close bond with his dog, Wagmi, highlighting his affectionate and caring nature.

One of Sam's unique quirks is his fondness for April Fools' Day, which also talks about his fun-loving personality. Additionally, he takes grooming seriously, as evidenced by his preference for getting his eyebrows threaded.
