Zoe McGrady Breaks Her Silence on Fantasy Suite Rumors as Bachelor Finale Fallout Continues

Zoe McGrady is speaking out to set the record straight on speculation that she was intimate with Bachelor lead Grant Ellis during the show’s fantasy suites episode.

In response to runner-up Litia Garr's claim that Grant, 31, was intimate with someone on the show, Zoe, 27, commented on a TikTok video, writing, “Definitely wasn’t with me 🔊🔊.” One fan applauded her for clearing her name, saying, “Yes girl, clear your name because people love to assume he only kept you for that reason, which is so disrespectful to you.” Zoe responded, “Extremely disrespectful.”

Zoe was eliminated after the fantasy suite dates, and Grant ultimately proposed to Juliana Pasquarosa in the Bachelor Season 29 finale. He ended things with Litia, 31, during the same episode, despite previously telling her he felt like she was “The One” and even considered ending the show early. On the live finale, Grant apologized to Litia, but later told Us Weekly that much of what she said didn’t align with him.

Litia addressed the situation during her April 11 appearance on the “Relationsh*t With Kamie Crawford” podcast. When asked if she knew whether Grant was intimate with anyone in the fantasy suites, she replied, “Yeah I know… he told people.”

Litia admitted she didn’t know this information at the time of the breakup, but noted that conversations among the women about potential fantasy suite choices were common. She revealed that both she and fellow contestant Dina Lupancu, who also comes from a religious background, were uncomfortable with the idea of intimacy in that context.

“Everyone has their own approach,” Litia said. “For me, I just didn’t feel comfortable. If it’s me, there will be a time for that later. And if it’s not, imagine being intimate with someone that’s getting engaged to your friend in a week.”

Litia, who is Mormon, previously told Grant she wasn’t open to being intimate before engagement and reflected on whether that might have impacted his decision. “Maybe,” she said. “It definitely could be.”
