With the stage set for Season 29 of “The Bachelor,” viewers are eager to see if sparks will fly between Grant and the diverse group of women vying for his heart.
This year’s contestants range from small-town romantics to high-powered professionals, each bringing their unique personalities, passions, and quirks to the table. Hosted by Jesse Palmer, the season promises a mix of heartfelt moments, drama, and possibly a fairy-tale romance.
First on the list is Alexe, a 27-year-old pediatric speech therapist from Canada, whose small-town farm roots and love for animals make her a warm-hearted contender. Alexe’s bubbly personality and quick wit could be a perfect match for Grant’s easygoing charm.
Sharing her adventurous spirit is Christina, a marketing director from North Dakota known for her love of skydiving and drifting Corvettes.
Fans of ambition and drive will be impressed by women like Zoe, a tech engineer and model from New York who has a degree from Duke University and a love for adventurous outdoor activities.
Equally accomplished is Neicey, a 32-year-old pediatrician from South Carolina who balances working at four hospitals with her passion for football games and farmers’ markets.
Meanwhile, Litia, a 31-year-old venture capitalist from Utah, could bond with Grant over their mutual love of sports, even if, according to her bio, she firmly avoids hiking.
On the creative side, Allyshia, an interior designer from Tampa, Florida, brings a mix of elegance and playfulness. She is a former Miss California with a deep love for horses, who is seeking a fairy-tale romance to rival those she’s dreamed of.
Similarly, Kelsey, another interior designer, hails from Brooklyn and dreams of a genuine connection with someone who values emotional intelligence as much as she does.
For those looking to root for athletic women, J’Nae, a former overseas basketball pro from Colorado, is ready to leave the court behind and find lasting love. Another sporty standout is Vicky, a nightclub server from Las Vegas and former NFL cheerleader, who is looking for a love story as bold as her personality.
The contestants aren’t just adventurous and accomplished — they’re also full of personality. Carolina, a PR producer from Puerto Rico, describes her vibe as “cool grandma” and dreams of being roasted by Nikki Glaser.
Savannah, a wedding planner from Virginia, is ready to plan her own happily ever after, despite a deep fear of owls. And Dina, a Chicago attorney, dances to her own beat — literally — with a signature style she calls “Dina Dancing.”
Among the romantics, Natalie, a Ph.D. student from Kentucky, is searching for sparks to match the love her parents share after 30 years of marriage. Rose, a registered nurse from Chicago, isn’t shy about her high standards for a partner, but she’s hoping she’ll be the only rose Grant needs.
Meanwhile, Bailey, a social media manager from Atlanta, dreams of a man who’s as funny and thoughtful as she is, bonus points if he’s a pro at taking Instagram-worthy pics.
Whether it’s Ella, the luxury travel host with a passion for romance novels, or Parisa, a pediatric behavior analyst who unwinds with charcuterie nights, each woman offers something uniquely captivating.
Sarafiena, an associate media director from New York, hopes to win Grant over with her thoughtfulness and spontaneous love for travel, while Chloie, a model also from New York, dreams of a big family and hosting rom-com-worthy dinner parties.
Beverly, a 30-year-old insurance salesperson from Howard Beach, New York, is a hopeless romantic inspired by her parents’ 30-plus-year marriage. With a love for classic movies like “Titanic” and “The Princess Diaries,” Beverly is hoping to find a fairy-tale ending of her own.
Sharing that romantic streak is Juliana, a client service associate from Massachusetts whose bubbly, family-oriented personality stems from her big Italian family.
For fans of Southern charm, Kyleigh, a retail manager from Wilmington, North Carolina, is ready to embrace her dream of marriage and motherhood. As a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, Kyleigh is looking for someone consistent and loyal, and she’s bringing her beloved mini Goldendoodle Bella along for the ride.
Meanwhile, Radhika, an attorney from New York, is eager to find a partner who shares her love of adventure and Indian traditions. Known for starting impromptu dance parties, Radhika hopes Grant will bring both romance and rhythm into her life.
Also vying for Grant’s heart is Rebekah, an ICU nurse from Dallas, Texas, who’s looking for a gentle-hearted partner to share her goal-driven mindset and love of adventure.
And then there’s Savannah, a wedding planner from Charlottesville, Virginia, who has spent years making other people’s big days special but is now ready to plan her own walk down the aisle.
Another contestant is Alli Jo, a 30-year-old boxing trainer from Manalapan, New Jersey, whose passion for fitness is matched only by her drive to find true love.
Outgoing and energetic, Alli Jo is a cheerleader for everyone in her life, and she’s ready to find a partner who will be her biggest fan in return. When she’s not training clients or planning her next beach trip, Alli Jo dreams of traveling the world and shopping in Dubai.
Stepping into the spotlight as the leading man of Season 29 is, of course, Grant, a charismatic day trader and former pro basketball player.
Previously speaking about his passion for basketball, Grant disclosed, “I’ve been playing basketball since I was about eight years old, I love it. I was actually the first Division One signee at my high school. I ended up graduating from Albertus Magnus College and then, I went overseas and played as a professional athlete, but then I got injured, so my career ended.”
Grant’s towering presence is matched by his infectious smile and easygoing charm. While he’s now immersed in the fast-paced world of finance, he never misses an opportunity to enjoy life’s lighter moments. Whether he’s cheering on his beloved Lakers, hitting the bowling lanes, or showing off his karaoke skills, Grant’s zest for life is undeniable.
As a self-proclaimed mama’s boy, Grant places a high value on family and envisions building a future rooted in loyalty, humor, and shared appreciation for life’s simple pleasures.
As he takes on the role of the Bachelor, Grant is hopeful that this season will lead him to a meaningful connection and, ultimately, the love of his life.
Before stepping into the coveted role of the Bachelor, Grant first won over fans on Season 21 of “The Bachelorette,” where he competed for the heart of Jen Tran.
According to his bio on ABC at that time, in addition to his other interests, Grant also has a love for poetry. Though his journey with Jen didn’t end with a final rose, Grant’s heartfelt approach left an impression on the Bachelor Nation.
Now that he is making a return as the leading man, will Grant’s journey end in a proposal, or will the twists and turns of the show challenge his search for a perfect match? While that remains to be seen, one thing is for sure — his season promises to be filled with romance, adventure, and plenty of surprises.
