Bachelorette In Blue It's A Crime She's Single

Caring cop Negin reveals how her career has arrested her love life

- Sebastian van der Zwan.

When police officer Negin Shademan revealed to her cop colleagues that she would be a contestant on The Bachelor NZ, there were lots of jokes and teasing from the co-workers she calls “my family in blue”.

“All the boys at work, who are like my brothers, were cracking up as you’d do with a sibling,” smiles the Iranian-Chinese beauty, 26. “They were taking screenshots of my little promo photo and giving me grief, like, ‘You actually look like a Bachelorette – you don’t look like this in real life!’”

And they’re right, Negin admits. “At work, I’m no makeup and my hair’s tied up in a slick ponytail, ready for action – no cares given. But the boys and girls at the station have done nothing but show me endless support. They’re happy for me and it makes me so grateful to be part of this amazing family while doing something so completely out of my comfort zone. Shout-out to them!”
