We all felt a little bad for Grant Ellis when he was eliminated from Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette on August 12th, 2024.
But not long after his elimination, the news of him being the new Bachelor for season 27th of The Bachelor came to light, which sparked our curiosity about how his journey as a leading man will unfold in the reality dating show.
It is hard to keep up with all the reality dating shows, but the members of Bachelor Nation have always been able to garner more internet fame in comparison to the contestants of dating shows like Perfect Match and Too Hot to Handle.
Grant might have garnered public attention during his participation in Jenn Trans’ The Bachelorette, but the announcement of him being the leading man in The Bachelor made him the second Black Bachelor after Matt James.
Grant Ellis Mom
As Grant Ellis is making history as the second black lead in the show, his personal and professional lives have both garnered public interest.
Grant has always been vocal about his relationship with his mom, Renee Ellis. Renee, being the greatest supporter of her son Grant, received a call from her son after he was selected to be the next bachelor.
As per the video posted on Bachelor’s social media handles, Grant was seen sharing the news with his mom over the phone.
His mom Renee showed her excitement exclaiming, “No way! Are you kidding me? Tell me you’re kidding.”
Well, Renee was the one who nominated Grant to be a contestant on the Bachelorette.
Grant is hoping that both his mother and grandmother will be able to tune in when the season airs. Similarly, we might also be able to see them in the hometown episodes.
