Paul, 31, joined Alex Cooper on her "Call Her Daddy" podcast on Wednesday to announce the news, which was accompanied by an ABC release, the network that airs "The Bachelorette." She also confirmed to Cooper that she will be returning to “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” for season three, which premieres in November on Hulu.

On "Call Her Daddy," Cooper noted that Paul is the first woman to be named the Bachelorette who is not already a part of the franchise.

"It’s not real, and it’s not going to be until, I think, the limo is pulling up,” Paul told Cooper about the new gig, adding that the news "has not hit me" yet. "In my head I’m like, 'how is this happening?'"

Season 22 of "The Bachelorette" will air in 2026.
