The Bachelor Season 29 will see Grant Ellis in the lead. We have seen him previously on Jenn Tran's season of The Bachelorette. This will make him the second African-American lead in the franchise.
ABC revealed details about the new seasons after they concluded with The Bachelorette in August. We saw Grant trying to win Jenn Trann's heart on the show but failed.
Although, with this brand new season, he will get a chance to write his own story and find a perfect match for himself. He currently works as a day trader. Grant used to be a professional basketball player but has changed his career since.
His current biography at The Bachelor states how he is genuinely interested in finding a wife and building a family together. The rest of it reads,
A self-proclaimed mama's boy, Ellis' infectious smile and unwavering positivity instantly brightens every room he enters. The former pro basketball player is passionate about his career as a day trader, but when he's not immersed in the fast-paced world of finance, you can find him cheering on the Lakers, hitting strikes at the bowling alley, or belting out tunes at karaoke nights.
It continues,
As the Bachelor, Ellis is eager to embark on a journey filled with romance, adventure, and genuine connections. He hopes to find a partner who shares his values of loyalty, humor and a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures.
Grant Ellis on The Bachelor Season 29 Trailer
ABC has released a sneak peek into what the upcoming season will look like with Grant Ellis. We see a lot of drama among the ladies who are competing to win Grant's heart.
In The Bachelor Season 29 trailer, he opens up about his loneliness and how it has constantly affected him throughout his life. He has always been fearful of it. Grant says he never told his parents that he was lonely, and used to put on a smile so that they would never know.
During one of his dates, he showed a large tattoo of a lone wolf on his forearm. Grant opened up about his insecurity and we will get a chance to see his life in detail with the upcoming season.
In the trailer, we see him listing out his goals and what he expects from The Bachelor Season 29. He says,
"I am ready to get married, ready to find my wife, ready to have kids."
As for the women, we see them fighting over Grant's attention. This might mean that there will be a lot of twists and drama on The Bachelor. The ladies even started accusing each other of "backstabbing".
During some of the final moments in the trailer, we see that Grant is indecisive when asked by the host about whom he will choose. He says he doesn't know.
Grant Ellis' Time on Jenn Tran's Season
Grant was eliminated by Jenn in episode 6 where the contestants were required to take Jenn to meet their families. We saw Grant pretty excited about meeting with his folks but was heartbroken when Jenn could not give him the rose.
Talking about his feelings, Grant said,
“I feel empty right now. Jenn’s a great woman. She’s a great woman. I expressed my love for her. I poured everything out and it wasn’t good enough. It just sucks knowing that you feel some way about somebody, and they don’t feel the same about you.”
Grant was upset during the time and expressed his desire to find love. He said,
