The 25 women vying for the heart of Grant Ellis on Season 29 of “The Bachelor” have been revealed.
Ranging in age from 25 to 32, the cast includes two nurses, a pair of models, a couple of interior designers, a boxing trainer and a luxury travel host. The journey to find out who has the best connection with Ellis, a 31-year-old day trader from New Jersey, starts on Jan. 27.
Fans may remember Ellis from Jenn Tran’s season of “The Bachelorette,” where he was eliminated before hometowns. According to a press release, “Before his emotional exit, fans saw Ellis’ genuine desire to build a future centered on family. 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, he can be found cheering on the Lakers, hitting strikes at the bowling alley, or belting out tunes at karaoke nights. As the Bachelor, Ellis is eager to embark on a journey filled with romance, adventure and genuine connections. He hopes to find a partner who shares his values of loyalty, humor and a deep appreciation for life’s simple pleasures.”
“The Bachelor” is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon. Claire Freeland, Bennett Graebner, Tim Warner and Peter Gust serve as executive producers.
Season 29 of “The Bachelor” premieres on ABC on Jan. 27 at 8 p.m. ET, and will stream the next day on Hulu. See all of the women’s photos and bios below.
