Meet Grant Ellis
Fans are looking forward to welcoming back Jenn Tran‘s The Bachelorette contestant Grant as the star of the latest series of The Bachelor.
When he is not busy being a reality star, he is a day trader from Houston, Texas.
In 2024, Grant made it to the final six men competing for Jenn’s heart.
Unfortunately for him, he was sent packing after not receiving a rose one week before the hometown dates.
At the time he said: “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.”
Becoming The Bachelor
But Grant’s sadness soon turned to joy when it was announced he would be the lead in the new series of The Bachelor.
Sharing his joy at being selected, he shared a sweet post on Instagram which was penned to his “future wife”.
He wrote: “As you can see, All smiles on this side …
“To my future wife, whoever you are … I can’t wait to meet you , my first gift to you is something I wrote.
“Life is crazy and unpredictable, but so is love .
“Life can be scary and at times hard, but so is love.
“Life can be a fight and to live is a choice, but so is love.
“I guess what I’m trying to say is …you can’t have one without the other.
“So live to the fullest and love to the fullest.”
Grant follows in the footsteps of the 2024 Bachelor, Joey Graziadei.
