“The adventurous 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, will be handing out roses when his season premieres next year on ABC.”
GRANT’S GOODBYE
After leaving the large mansion located in Seattle, Washington, Grant was left in tears after not receiving a rose.
“I poured everything out and it wasn’t good enough,” he revealed to producers.
“It just sucks knowing that you feel some way about somebody, and they don’t feel the same about you.”
He continued to explain what he wanted in his future.
“I want a family, you know? I want to be happy. I want a wife. I want to be in love. I want that.
“I want to give everything to somebody, and I want them to give everything to me in return. I don’t know what else to say. I did not think that was going to happen tonight.”
The other contestant sent home was Spencer Conley, who took the rejection just as hard.
HIS NEXT CHAPTER
Grant’s painful exit has given him a new opportunity to find his lifetime partner.
On X, fans shared their excitement to watch Grant look for a wife.
“Grant getting eliminated and then Grant being announced as Bachelor giving me whiplash but I’m here for it!!!!!” one wrote.
“Love this! Grant is a fantastic choice!” exclaimed a second.
A third said, “I wasn’t expecting that! He’s going to be great.”
“I love this for him (and us),” someone else wrote.
“I will be watching!” a fifth Bachelor fan noted.
Grant’s season of The Bachelor is set to air in 2025.
