Bachelorette 2013 spoilers: Want to know who Des picks?

America fell in love with Desiree Hartsock during Sean Lowe’s Bachelor season, and viewers were heartbroken to see Sean break up with Desiree after her awkward hometown date. Lucky for us, Des is the next Emily Maynard! The Bachelorette Season 9 premieres on Monday, May 20, 2013, and we already have pictures and scoop about Des’s guys (spoiler alert: two of them have kids!).

Will Des find her own Jef Holm? We don’t yet know who she picks, but we have our eye on model-turned-banker Chris Siegfried, former pro baseball player Zack Kalter, and ad exec Brooks Forester. Des is super optimistic about being able to find her dream man, and so is host Chris Harrison. “You can drop Desiree in Texas, Arkansas, LA, New York, and people will relate to her — and that’s rare,” Chris gushed to reporters about Des shortly after The Bachelor Season 17 finale.

As for Desiree’s brother, he’s not thrilled his little sis is venturing back into reality television. Nate Hartsock famously called Sean Lowe a “playboy,” and he calls Desiree’s Bachelorette stint “bittersweet.” While Nate’s thrilled viewers will see just how great a person his sister is, he’s worried the show will take a toll on her emotionally. “I’m concerned for her well-being,” Nate told us exclusively. “She’s a real emotional girl and this process seems tough.”

Desiree’s former Bachelor housemate Catherine Giudici says Des is up for the Bachelorette challenge, adding that she hopes Des finds someone “sweet and understanding.”
