The Bachelor season 29 star Grant Ellis was born on December 15, 1993, which makes him a Sagittarius, and he truly fits his zodiac sign. Grant is a now-31-year-old day trader who's originally from Newark, New Jersey. He started out as a professional basketball player, until an injury ended his career. After that, Grant got into the finance field.
Grant made his Bachelor Nation debut on Jenn Tran's Bachelorette season. He realized that he was falling for her, but she said goodbye to him right before her hometown dates. Grant was devastated because he's so ready to be a husband and a father, but he was very happy to accept the lead role of The Bachelor season 29. As viewers continue to get to know Grant, they'll see that he has many of the qualities of a true Sagittarius, which is a fire sign.
Grant Ellis Is Passionate
Grant Is Loving & Romantic
Sagittarius men are known for being very passionate, and, during Jenn's Bachelorette season, Grant often displayed this quality. He came out of the limousine singing a song for her, which was very romantic. He spent all of his time on the season focused on her, and didn't get swept up in the drama that dominated the time of many of the other men. Grant was so passionate about Jenn that he even sweetly told her that he'd take her last name if they got married in the future.
In a preview for Grant's Bachelor season (shared via The Bachelor Instagram page), he's shown to be just as passionate and romantic as ever. In the promo, several of Grant's contestants are shown saying things such as, "His eyes. And his skin,""Where did y'all find this man?,""Everything that I'm looking for is, like, everything that he is,""Is this real? Is he real?," and "Cinderella can take a full backseat 'cause this is next-level type of love."
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Grant is unafraid to express his emotions, which will be very important for him as he takes on the role of the Bachelor. In another Bachelorpromo, he's seen playing the piano and singing for one of his contestants. He's authentic and knows exactly what he wants in life. Grant is such a fantastic person that he seems like a dream, but he's very real. Grant was the perfect choice to be the Bachelor because of his passionate Sagittarius nature.
Grant Ellis Is An Honest Man
Grant Wears His Heart On His Sleeve
Grant is a very honest man, which is another Sagittarius trait. During Jenn's "Men Tell All" episode (shared via the Bachelor Nation YouTube channel), Grant told host Jesse Palmer that he wears his emotions on his sleeve. He said that if he's happy or angry, people will know it. He added that if he's in love with someone, she'll know it because he'll tell her. Unlike some of the other men on Jenn's season, Grant didn't hold back his feelings. This type of honesty and directness is exactly what's needed from the Bachelor lead.
Grant was also very honest with Jenn when he told her the story of his relationship with his father. He opened up about how his father has struggled with addiction for the past 30 years. He explained that his father was everything to him as he was growing up, but he didn't know that he was drinking and lying to him.
However, before Grant left to film The Bachelorette, his father was fired from his job. Things turned around though, when he called Grant and told him that he was checking into rehab. Grant said that it was the proudest that he'd ever been of him. At the time, Grant's dad had been sober for two months, and they were rebuilding their relationship. Grant's honesty was refreshing as he shared some of his deepest feelings with Jenn. This Sagittarius characteristic will be a great asset to Grant on The Bachelor as he searches for the love of his life.
Grant Ellis Has An Adventurous Side
Grant Enjoys Exploring The World
Sagittarius men are adventurous, and they love trying new experiences and traveling, and Grant is no exception. According to his ABC bio, he plans to travel to every country in his lifetime. Grant was able to cross Australia and New Zealand off of his list during Jenn's Bachelorette season when the show traveled there.
In Australia, Grant showed his adventurous side when he tried new foods, including Vegemite, which he describedas "soy sauce peanut butter." He also ate a "desert oyster shot," which is a shot of whiskey that contains a meatball made of a part of a kangaroo that Grant never wanted to taste. Grant also embraced doing a striptease on a group date, proving that he isn't shy and has a daring spirit (shared via the Bachelor Nation YouTube channel).
Bachelor Nation has a lot to look forward to in 2025, including some much-anticipated weddings and new seasons of the beloved franchise shows.
Grant was up for anything on Jenn's dates, including their one-on-one date in New Zealand when they went horseback riding. Now that he's the Bachelor, Grant will have to be daring, not only because many of the dates involve daredevil activities, such as bungee jumping, which was seen in one of the promos, but also because he'll have to take a leap of faith when it comes to falling in love. As a Sagittarius, Grant is built for adventure, which is essential for the Bachelor.
Grant Is An Optimistic Person
Grant Sees The Glass As Half-Full
Even though Jenn broke Grant's heart, he's now back and ready for a second chance to find love on The Bachelor season 29. This optimism that true love will happen for him is a Sagittarius trait that will help him to stay positive throughout his journey on the show. Although it's likely that Grant will have some challenging moments during his experience, his Sagittarian optimism will carry him through it.
As he began his Bachelor journey, Grant was hopeful that he could find the woman who could become his wife and the mother of his children. He didn't allow his past heartache with Jenn to define him. This will help him to deal with possible difficult moments during his time as the Bachelor. As a Sagittarius, Grant will find the silver lining in his dark moments, and that will push him through to find true love in the end. Grant's positivity is infectious, and will hopefully spread to his contestants as well.
Grant has many qualities of a true Sagittarius. He's passionate, honest, adventurous, and optimistic, which are four characteristics that make him perfect for the lead of The Bachelor season 29. Grant is an amazing person who wears his heart on his sleeve, and whoever wins his heart is going to be a very lucky woman. Hopefully, Grant's Sagittarius nature will help him find the love of his life and live happily ever after.
The Bachelor season 29 starring Grant Ellis premieres on Monday, January 27, 2025, at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
The series centers on a single bachelor selecting a romantic partner from a group of contestants, with episodes featuring various challenges and eliminations.
