The Bachelor season 29 began with 25 contestants competing for leading man Grant Ellis' heart, and Chloie Costello 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 start on Jenn Tran's Bachelorette season. They had a romantic one-on-one date, and he seemed to be a frontrunner to win her heart. Grant fell for Jenn, but she said goodbye to him right before her hometown dates. In a surprise move, Grant was revealed as the next Bachelor as soon as his Bachelorette elimination aired.
The Bachelor season 29 producers wanted to announce Grant as the lead early in order to give contestants the chance to apply to the show specifically to date him. During Jenn's "Men Tell All" episode, host Jesse Palmer told Grant that, since he was announced, over 10,000 more women had applied to the show. Grant has said that being a husband and a father is his mission in life, and he now has the chance to find his future wife in his own Bachelor season. Chloie is one of the women competing for his love during The Bachelor season 29.
