“The Bachelor” franchise is known for its drama, romance, and heartwarming moments, and the upcoming season 29 is already generating buzz with the announcement of its new lead, Grant Ellis. The 30-year-old day trader from Houston had viewers rooting for him as he pursued love on “The Bachelorette” with Jenn Tran. Unfortunately, Ellis had an emotional exit from the show, expressing his feelings for Tran and his desire for a family and a wife. Now, Ellis is ready to take on the role of the Bachelor and find the one he’s been searching for.
Described as a self-proclaimed mama’s boy with an infectious smile and unwavering positivity, Ellis is a former pro basketball player who is passionate about his career as a day trader. When he’s not immersed in the fast-paced world of finance, Ellis enjoys cheering on the Lakers, bowling, and belting out tunes at karaoke nights. 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.
The announcement of Grant Ellis as the new Bachelor comes on the heels of the engagement of season 28 lead, Joey Graziadei, to winner Kelsey Anderson. The couple, who got engaged during the season finale, are still going strong and have already decided on their honeymoon location: Italy. Graziadei opened up about a health condition that he suffers from after fans noticed his yellow eyes, but he remains confident in his decision to propose to Kelsey, citing her as a bright light in his life.
With the Bachelor franchise continuing to captivate audiences with its mix of romance and drama, fans are eagerly anticipating Grant Ellis’s journey to find love in the upcoming season. As the show unfolds, viewers will be treated to heartfelt moments, unexpected twists, and, hopefully, a fairy-tale ending for the new Bachelor and his chosen partner. Stay tuned for more updates on Grant Ellis’s quest for love on “The Bachelor” season 29.
