Meet Grant Ellis: Get to Know the New Bachelor From Jenn Tran’s Season

5.
Family
is
key
for
Grant,
and
he
describes
himself
as
a
“mama’s
boy”
in
his
Bachelorette
bio.
While
on
the
show,
Grant
also
opened
up
about
his
relationship
with
his
dad,
including
his
father’s
battle
with
addiction.

“My
father
has
been
an
addict
for,
like,
30
years,”
he
told
Jenn
during
their
one-on-one
date
in
New
Zealand
on
the
Aug.
5
episode.
“Addiction
is
a
hard
thing.
Because
growing
up
my
pops
was
everything.
Like,
he
was
my
superhero.
He
used
to
take
me
to
the
park.
And
he
always
used
to
be
inebriated
or
intoxicated
under
the
substance.
And
the
worst
thing
is
I
didn’t
know.
When
you’re
a
child,
you
believe
everything.
And
the
one
person
I
trusted
most
was
always
lying.”

Shortly
before
Grant
came
on
the
show,
he
continued,
his
father
lost
his
job.

“Sometimes
addicts,
they
blame,”
Grant
said.
“So
he
was
blaming
everybody:
‘Oh,
my
boss
this.
My
boss
that.’
I
was
like,
‘Listen,
dad.
I
don’t
f–king
care.’
This
is
like
the
proudest
I’ve
ever
been
of
my
dad.
He
called
me
the
next
day
and
he
said,
‘I’m
checking
into
rehab.’
Checked
into
rehab.
And
ever
since
that,
we
had
a
talk
and
he
was
like,
‘Listen,
son:
This
is
the
first
time
that
you
know
the
real
me
when
I’m
not
intoxicated.’
So,
I’m
really
leaning
into
that.
So
now’s
he
a
little
under
two
months
sober.
I
hope
he
holds
strong.
It’s
his
first
time
living
too.”

you
could
be
the
one
for
Grant?
When
it
comes
to
what
he’s
looking
for
in
a
soulmate,
his

Bachelor

bio
states
“he
hopes
to
find
a
partner
who
shares
his
values
of
loyalty,
humor
and
a
deep
appreciation
for
life’s
simple
pleasures.”
