Grant Ellis<\/strong><\/a> is looking for love with 25 contestants<\/a> on season 29 of The Bachelor.<\/em> However, it took getting dumped by Jenn Tran<\/strong><\/a> on The Bachelorette<\/em> for the reality star to score the coveted lead role on the ABC hit.<\/p>\n Grant made it to fifth place on season 21 of The Bachelorette<\/em>, getting sent home by Jenn just before her hometown dates, as she just wasn\u2019t that into him.<\/p>\n He went on a group date along with Spencer Conley<\/strong>, Jonathan Johnson<\/strong>, Sam McKinney<\/strong>, and Devin Strader<\/strong> in the August 12, 2024, episode, as they each hoped to win over the aspiring physician\u2019s assistant. Jenn didn\u2019t give out a group date rose, telling the men, \u201cI want to be 100 percent with where I\u2019m feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n At the afterparty ahead of the rose ceremony, Grant told Jenn he was falling in love with her. However, she used the occasion to tell Devin she was in love with him. Grant and Sam weren\u2019t given roses at the end of the evening, with Jenn telling the guys, \u201cI want you to know how sorry I am.\u201d<\/p>\n The Newark, New Jersey, native lamented how his feelings for Jenn were stronger than what she felt about him after getting eliminated.<\/p>\n \u201cI poured everything out, and it wasn\u2019t good enough,\u201d Grant confessed to producers. \u201cIt just sucks knowing that you feel some way about somebody, and they don\u2019t feel the same about you.\u201d<\/p>\n Even though Jenn didn\u2019t fall hard for Grant during his time on The Bachelorette<\/em>, fans did. Producers took notice and he was announced as the season 29 Bachelor lead after the episode aired.<\/p>\n Grant\u2019s ABC profile<\/a> was updated to read, \u201cThe adventurous day trader, who captured the hearts of Bachelor Nation with his genuine desire to build a future centered around family, will be handing out roses when his season premieres next year on ABC.\u201d<\/p>\n Grant starts handing out roses on January 27, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET\/PT on ABC.<\/p>\n The \u201cself-proclaimed mama\u2019s boy\u201d is \u201ceager 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\u2019s simple pleasures,\u201d his ABC profile notes.<\/p>\n Jenn picked Devin over Marcus Shoberg<\/strong> as her final rose recipient, only to get dumped<\/a> two months after his romantic proposal. She revealed their split during the After the Final Rose<\/em> live show on September 3, 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cWe left Hawaii engaged,\u201d Jenn told host Jesse Palmer<\/strong> during the special. \u201cI thought I found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. As soon as we left Hawaii, things were different.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI promised my life to somebody who I thought was going to put every effort into the relationship. I didn\u2019t feel that. I felt like I was secondary to everything in his life,\u201d she said through tears during the special. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t introducing me to his family anymore. Every little thing made me feel secondary to his life and I didn\u2019t understand why.\u201d<\/p>\n Jenn continued, \u201cWe had a happy couple [weekend] planned sometime last month early and the night before I\u2019d gotten a phone call. And he called me and basically broke off the engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n When Devin joined her on stage, he took \u201caccountability\u201d for his \u201cshortcomings\u201d when it came to their romance. Jenn claimed he was \u201cnever fully in the relationship\u201d and didn\u2019t see a future with her.<\/p>\n The following day, the Hillsdale, New Jersey, native was announced as a last-minute addition to season 33 of Dancing With the Stars<\/em>. Jenn was paired with pro dancer Sasha Farber<\/strong>. While they were voted off on the October 29, 2024, Halloween episode, the pair had grown so close that a romance blossomed<\/a>.<\/p>\n The duo began sharing flirty TikTok posts and went as each other\u2019s dates to the Los Angeles premiere of Wicked<\/em> on November 9, 2024. Just over a month later, their relationship was confirmed. \u201cJenn and Sasha are dating,\u201d a source revealed to Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> on December 18, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhy Did Jenn Tran and Grant Ellis Break Up on \u2018The Bachelorette\u2019?<\/h2>\n
