The Bachelor: Meet the 25 Women Vying for Grant Ellis' Heart

With a new Bachelor comes a new group of women ready to compete for his final rose.

This time around, they aim to charm Grant Ellis, who gained fame as the Bachelorette’s upcoming main lead after his stint on Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette.

As the start of the 29th season of The Bachelor approaches on January 27, the 25 hopeful women who aspire to be with Grant and receive an engagement ring are eagerly preparing for their shot at a lifetime of happiness.

In the latest video posted by ABC, a diverse array of women, aged between 25 and 32, gracefully smile and dance as they are introduced to the audience. These women come from different professional backgrounds, including boxing trainer, lawyer, pediatrician, and venture capitalist, hinting at an exciting and dynamic lineup for viewers to watch this season.

For Grant, the 30-year-old resident of Houston, Texas, who engages in day trading, there’s just as much anticipation on his part about encountering his potential bride as there is on her side, whoever she might be, about meeting him.

He expressed his gratitude for this chance, and for a shot at love…on Instagram Stories following his announcement as The Bachelor. His message was simple: ‘Let’s ensure this moment is significant.’

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my anticipation about the upcoming season, as Grant seems determined to navigate through his past relationship challenges. It’s no secret that Jenn’s decision to send him home, alongside Spencer Conley and Sam McKinney, left him feeling taken aback.

Grant shared with the cameras during the August 2024 episode, “I’m feeling quite hollow at the moment. I can’t really explain it, but Jenn is an exceptional woman – truly remarkable. I openly expressed my love for her, giving her all my feelings, and yet it wasn’t enough. It’s just disheartening to realize that you have strong feelings for someone who doesn’t reciprocate.

Yet, despite the situation, he persisted in not abandoning love – a characteristic that will undoubtedly benefit him greatly when it’s his turn.

During the show’s episode, the reality star expressed, “I yearn for a family, for joy. I seek a partner, someone I can love deeply. I long for that special connection, if you understand.” Adding, “I desire to pour my heart into someone and receive the same in return.

Who will this future person turn out to be? Let’s get straight into it, here are the ladies you’ll find in season 29 of The Bachelor.
