Bachelor Grant Was Confident He Found His Wife by the Final 4: Juliana, Litia, Dina and Zoe (Exclusive)

Despite how it may seem, Grant Ellis was confident during his stint as The Bachelor.

So confident, in fact, that when Us Weekly asked our latest cover star if he could give a percentage regarding how certain he was that he had found his wife ahead going into the hometown dates, he said: “I, honestly, was 100 percent sure because that’s what I came there for. I knew I was going to make things work.”

While the trailer makes it seem like Grant, 31, is down to the wire before he picks between his eventual final 2, he told Us that it “definitely wasn’t one hour” but “external factors” caused him to take a pause. The day trader and former basketball player also didn’t hesitate when explaining that he is actually a very decisive person.

“I’ve always been a really decisive person in terms of my career and everything in that field. … In high school, I was a star athlete and had to decide what college I went to, what major,” he said. Outside of that, Grant points to “times of difficulty” with his parents’ divorce and navigating “decisions I had to make that the outcome was a lot greater than the current situation I was living in.”

Grant’s parents will come back into play on the show, but first, Grant will meet the families of his final 4 on the March 3 episode.

“It’s really important when you’re married or with somebody to get along with their family — to fit in and to be a unit,” he said. “That was the goal: seeing the dynamic.”

The Bachelor airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.

Where Grant Will Meet Her Family: Newton, Massachusetts

Grant sparked with the client service associate, 28, from Night 1. “We connected over our love of playing piano,” he says. “We always had that physical chemistry, and then we started to develop an emotional connection.” (Fans saw both when he surprised her with a hand massage after she broke all her nails on the basketball court!) While Juliana's one-on-one came late in the process, Grant says he would “make eye contact and check in” with her on group dates.

“We had an emotional connection and were attracted to each other,” Grant says of the Salt Lake City venture capitalist, 31, who schooled him on not assuming her looks meant she rarely got “told no.” While he is Christian and Litla is Mormon, he says the religious difference wouldn’t matter “as long as the root belief in something was there.” He adds: “If you don’t have faith, then you don’t have anything to lean on [when things get tough].”

“I was used to doing things a certain way, and Dina was really independent and strong,” Grant told Us of the attorney, 32, and this “newfound” relationship experience. “I was intrigued by that dynamic because I had never had that before.” During their Madrid dinner, Dina revealed she’d been perceived as everything from a drill sergeant to an ice queen. For Grant's part, he describes her as “type A” and “very organized” but says he also saw her fun side.

Grant says the 27-year-old tech engineer/model’s “boldness” stuck out to him. (Not so much the other women, who bristled at Zoe's excessive can-I-steal-you habit early on.) “I felt like she was there to put herself out there,” he says, adding that the pair found common ground when she opened up about being adopted and growing up Black in a predominantly white neighborhood. “I could really relate to some of the things she’s been through."
