Who Is Grant Ellis On ‘The Bachelorette’?

After Jenn Tran said her first round of goodbyes during The Bachelorette ‘s Season 21 premiere , she and her 18 remaining men headed to Australia for the next stage of their love story.

Among those remaining eligible men is Grant Ellis, who came to shoot his shot (literally) on Night 1.

During his Night 1 intro video, the 30-year-old day trader from Houston, Texas revealed he’s been playing basketball since he was eight years old and was the first Division I signee at his high school. “I ended up graduating from Albertus Magnus College and then I went oversees as a professional athlete,” Ellis told viewers. “But then I got injured, so my career ended.”

After his memorable limo exit, Grant stole Jenn later in the night to shoot some hoops and get to know each other a bit better. Since he’s made it to Episode 2, it’s time for Bachelor Nation to get Grant a bit better. Don’t you think?

“Grant is a mama’s boy who loves poetry and reading, and says he’s here to find the love of his life,” the bio continues. “The former pro basketball player is passionate about his new career as a day trader and hopes to be able to provide for his future family. When Grant isn’t hustling at his job, he loves watching the Lakers, going bowling, and singing his heart out at karaoke. After his last long-term relationship didn’t work out, Grant is excited for the chance to fall in love again and can’t wait for his Bachelorette journey to begin.”

When Grant got out of his limo on Night 1 he started beatboxing and singing to Jenn: “It’s nice to meet you. My name is Grant. We’ll make all these guys so jealous, cause at the end of this show we’ll change your name to Mrs. Ellis.” Not only can he sing, but he likes to have fun too. We’ve got the fun facts to prove it:
