‘The Bachelor’: Grant Ellis Named Season 29’s Leading Man After Exit From Jenn Tran’s Season

As a seasoned moviegoer with a soft spot for reality TV, I must say that Grant Ellis seems like a captivating choice for the lead of “The Bachelor” Season 29. His life experiences, from being a pro basketball player to a day trader, promise an intriguing narrative that viewers will undoubtedly find appealing.


After leaving “The Bachelorette” Season 21, which was headed by Jenn Tran, Grant Ellis has been selected as the lead for “The Bachelor” Season 29 instead.

Ellis, aged thirty, resides in Houston and operates as a day trader. According to the official bio from ABC’s upcoming franchise, he describes himself as a “devoted son” who possesses an irresistible grin and an undying optimism that illuminates every space he enters. A former professional basketball player, Ellis takes great pride in his career as a day trader; however, when he’s not engrossed in the bustling world of finance, you may find him cheering for the Lakers, bowling, or performing at karaoke events. As the Bachelor, Ellis is excited to embark on a journey brimming with romance, excitement, and authentic connections. He yearns to encounter someone who aligns with his ideals of loyalty, humor, and an affinity for the delightful aspects of everyday life.

In the fifth week of Season 21’s “The Bachelorette,” Ellis emerged as a notable contender, forming a bond with Tran during group activities and social events over the first four episodes. Their individual date aired on August 5th. During their dinner, Ellis opened up about how his father’s addiction struggles affected him, while Tran talked about her own issues with her absentee father. The following evening, Ellis confided in the other contestants that he was developing feelings for Tran. However, unexpectedly, Tran decided to eliminate Ellis during Week 6, instead of inviting him to meet her family at the hometowns stage.

In the spring of this year, Tran appeared on Season 28 of “The Bachelor,” the popular reality dating show on ABC, which was hosted by Joey Graziadei and resulted in his engagement to Kelsey Anderson. The upcoming seasons include Season 29 of “The Bachelor” and Season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise,” both airing in 2025. This autumn, ABC will introduce a spinoff titled “The Golden Bachelorette,” based on the original series “The Golden Bachelor,” with 61-year-old Joan Vassos as its leader.

“The Bachelor” television series is created collaboratively by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, along with Warner Horizon. The executive producers for this show are Claire Freeland, Bennett Graebner, Tim Warner, and Peter Gust.”
