Who is Grant Ellis?

Ellis, “a self-proclaimed mama’s boy” (according to his official biography) is the second Black man to lead The Bachelor. He previously competed on The Bachelorette for the love and affection of Jen Tran, but was ultimately unsuccessful — a fact that means he now has a chance at finding love on his own show.

Ellis is also a former pro basketball pro, playing in the Dominican Republic for the Indios de San Francisco basketball team and later for Club Huellas del Siglo before hanging up his hoop shoes for the world of day trading.

When does The Bachelor Season 29 begin?

The new season will premiere on ABC on Monday, January 29, at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes will premiere weekly. The series can also be streamed on Hulu the next day.
