The Bachelor season 29 features 25 contestants competing for leading man Grant Ellis' heart, and Carolina Sofia Quixano, who also goes by the name Carolina Sofia, is one of those women. Grant, a now-31-year-old day trader who's originally from Newark, New Jersey, but now lives in Houston, Texas, got his Bachelor Nation start in Jenn Tran's Bachelorette season. He fell for her, but she said goodbye to him right before her hometown dates, leaving him devastated because his mission in life is to become a husband and a father, and he thought that she might be his true love.
Now, however, Grant is ecstatic to continue his journey to find his future wife during The Bachelor season 29. The producers revealed him as the lead early so that women would have the chance to apply to the show to date him specifically. During Jenn's "Men Tell All" episode, host Jesse Palmer told Grant that, since he was announced as the lead, over 10,000 more women had applied to be on the show. As Grant continues the search for the love of his life, here's what to know about Carolina, one of the women who's hoping to get engaged to him.
