The historic season 29 premiere of The Bachelor is set to air on ABC Jan. 27, 2025 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time (7 p.m. Central).

This season’s Bachelor, Grant Ellis, is a day trader who captured the hearts of Bachelor Nation with his genuine desire to build a future centered around family on Jenn’s season of The Bachelorette in 2024. He was sent home during week six, but will now have a new opportunity to find love again on reality TV.

According to ABC, 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.
