The Next Bachelor Revealed: Contestant from Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette Season

The next star of ABC’s hit reality dating series The Bachelor has been revealed.

The network confirmed that Grant Ellis, a contestant from Jenn Tran’s ongoing season of The Bachelorette, will be the next Bachelor for the show’s 29th season, per Variety.

Although Ellis wasn’t given the rose needed to continue in Tran’s season, he’ll now get a chance to lead an entire Bachelor process of his own.

While Tran’s season is nearing its conclusion with hometown dates, Ellis’ starring role in the long-running reality program will commence sometime in 2025.

For now, viewers can look forward to the wrap-up of Tran’s season in the coming weeks.

Check out Ellis’ biography from his time on The Bachelorette, per Variety.

Ellis is 30 years old and resides in Houston, where he works as a day trader. Known as a “self-proclaimed mama’s boy,” his “infectious smile and unwavering positivity” are said to brighten every room he enters. The former pro basketball player is passionate about his career in finance, but when he’s not immersed in his work, he enjoys cheering on the Lakers, bowling, or singing at karaoke nights. As the new Bachelor, Ellis is eager to embark on a journey filled with romance, adventure, and genuine connections. He hopes to find a partner who values loyalty, humor, and an appreciation for life’s simple pleasures.
