Grant made his Bachelor Nation debut on Jenn Tran's Bachelorette season. He realized that he was falling for her, but she said goodbye to him right before her hometown dates. Grant was devastated because he's so ready to be a husband and a father, but he was very happy to accept the lead role of The Bachelor season 29. As viewers continue to get to know Grant, they'll see that he has many of the qualities of a true Sagittarius, which is a fire sign.
Grant Ellis Is Passionate
Grant Is Loving & Romantic
In a preview for Grant's Bachelor season (shared via The Bachelor Instagram page), he's shown to be just as passionate and romantic as ever. In the promo, several of Grant's contestants are shown saying things such as, "His eyes. And his skin," "Where did y'all find this man?," "Everything that I'm looking for is, like, everything that he is," "Is this real? Is he real?," and "Cinderella can take a full backseat 'cause this is next-level type of love."
Grant is unafraid to express his emotions, which will be very important for him as he takes on the role of the Bachelor. In another Bachelor promo, he's seen playing the piano and singing for one of his contestants. He's authentic and knows exactly what he wants in life. Grant is such a fantastic person that he seems like a dream, but he's very real. Grant was the perfect choice to be the Bachelor because of his passionate Sagittarius nature.
Grant Ellis Is An Honest Man

Grant was also very honest with Jenn when he told her the story of his relationship with his father. He opened up about how his father has struggled with addiction for the past 30 years. He explained that his father was everything to him as he was growing up, but he didn't know that he was drinking and lying to him.
However, before Grant left to film The Bachelorette, his father was fired from his job. Things turned around though, when he called Grant and told him that he was checking into rehab. Grant said that it was the proudest that he'd ever been of him. At the time, Grant's dad had been sober for two months, and they were rebuilding their relationship. Grant's honesty was refreshing as he shared some of his deepest feelings with Jenn. This Sagittarius characteristic will be a great asset to Grant on The Bachelor as he searches for the love of his life.
Grant Ellis Has An Adventurous Side
Grant Enjoys Exploring The World
In Australia, Grant showed his adventurous side when he tried new foods, including Vegemite, which he described as "soy sauce peanut butter." He also ate a "desert oyster shot," which is a shot of whiskey that contains a meatball made of a part of a kangaroo that Grant never wanted to taste. Grant also embraced doing a striptease on a group date, proving that he isn't shy and has a daring spirit (shared via the Bachelor Nation YouTube channel).
Grant was up for anything on Jenn's dates, including their one-on-one date in New Zealand when they went horseback riding. Now that he's the Bachelor, Grant will have to be daring, not only because many of the dates involve daredevil activities, such as bungee jumping, which was seen in one of the promos, but also because he'll have to take a leap of faith when it comes to falling in love. As a Sagittarius, Grant is built for adventure, which is essential for the Bachelor.

As he began his Bachelor journey, Grant was hopeful that he could find the woman who could become his wife and the mother of his children. He didn't allow his past heartache with Jenn to define him. This will help him to deal with possible difficult moments during his time as the Bachelor. As a Sagittarius, Grant will find the silver lining in his dark moments, and that will push him through to find true love in the end. Grant's positivity is infectious, and will hopefully spread to his contestants as well.
