Grant Ellis, who formerly competed in Jenn Tran's season of The Bachelorette, is Season 29's Bachelor. Grant was first announced as the Season 29 star in August 2024. "A self-proclaimed mama's boy, Ellis' infectious smile and unwavering positivity instantly brightens every room he enters," per ABC's official description of their new star. "The former pro basketball player is passionate about his career as a day trader, but when he's not immersed in the fast-paced world of finance, you can find him cheering on the Lakers, hitting strikes at the bowling alley, or belting out tunes at karaoke nights."

There will be 25 women vying for Grant's heart during Season 29 of The Bachelor. Among them: Alexe, a 27-year-old pediatric speech therapist; Chloie, a 27-year-old model; Ella, a 25-year-old luxury travel host; and Litia, a 31-year-old venture capitalist.

In the Season 28 finale, Joey Graziadei decided to break up with Daisy Kent and proposed to Kelsey Anderson. (Read finale recap.) How'd he come to the decision? In an interview after handing out his final rose, Joey told TVLine there were "so many little moments" that factored into his choice. Their trip to the Spanish city of Ronda "was a huge one for us, having our first one-on-one," he added. "I think that was the first time that I knew something was building, that was possibly going to be a forever."
