At the age of 38, Clare Crawley is about to become ABC’s oldest Bachelorette in the history of the franchise when she takes her place in May as the leading lady of Season 16.
It makes sense that ABC is skewing older this season given the emotional turmoil on current Bachelor Peter Weber’s season that many fans have attributed to the young age of his contestants. Historically, “The Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” generally cast women in their twenties and early thirties. Last season’s star, Hannah Brown of Season 15, was a whopping 14 years younger than Crawley, having been 24 at the time her season was filmed last spring. The oldest “Bachelorette” before Crawley was Rachel Lindsay, who was 32 during her time starring on Season 13.
