The Bachelor S29

Hosted by Emmy nominee Jesse Palmer, hit reality series The Bachelor offers some of America's most eligible single women the chance to find true love. Each season, one charming Bachelor embarks on a romantic journey full of breathtaking dates, heartfelt moments and important conversations as they get to know a number of smart, confident and beautiful women. Each week, the leading man will hand out roses to those he feels the most connected to, gradually narrowing the field in the search for his soulmate, until only one rose remains.

After an emotional exit from Jenn’s season of The Bachelorette, Grant Ellis' journey to find love will continue as he takes on the role of leading man for the 29th season of The Bachelor.

A self-proclaimed mama's boy, Ellis' infectious smile and unwavering positivity instantly brightens every room he enters. 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. He hopes to find a partner who shares his values of loyalty, humour, and a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures.
