  • Becca K. is the new Bachelorette.
  • She had her heart broken after she was chosen this season on "The Bachelor" but Arie Luyendyk Jr. broke up with her shortly after.
  • She said she is looking forward to finding love.

After enduring a shocking season finale in which she was picked, and then unceremoniously dumped, by Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr. on air, ABC announced Tuesday that Becca Kufrin would be next season's Bachelorette. 

The news came during the live broadcast when Kufrin came face to face with Luyendyk and Lauren Burnham for the first time since Luyendyk broke up with Kufrin to be with Burnham. 

Becca said she was looking forward to the opportunity to find love and start repairing her heart. 

"I want to find love, I want to meet so many amazing guys," she said.

The announcement didn't exactly come as a surprise to many spoiler-happy members of Bachelor Nation, as Reality Steve — the definitive source for all Bachelor franchise info — had been calling this announcement for the past few weeks. 

But that didn't stop fans from tweeting their excitement about the news that Kufrin would get another shot at love.
