Fluffing my hair right now here it comes fluff her hair. I mean, you really fluffed your hair as he walked in, Like you look nice.
You know, I want to fluff mine. Bring in the bachelor right here? Looks great. Yeah, it looks like it's not moving.
Mind doesn't move much. It's pretty much slacked anyway. This is guys, the Bachelor. It's on Monday's. Grant ellis our new bachelor. They are saying he may be bringing the most heats of all the Bacheler's ever.
You're saying, you, guys look amazing. Thank you for having me the great.
Thank you so much for saying that, because coming from you, that's real.
We appreciate it. Grant. So I'll make you some background here.
He's a played basketball in college and he played professionally for a little while.
And you like music? How you make music?
Right? Oh?
My free time? I'm not really something I do serious is an interest of mine, you know. So I really enjoy anything creative, poetry, music. I think that stimulates creation.
I like that's cool. Born in December not a Capricorn but almost okay, almost Sagittarius.
And what does that mean?
So what does that mean?
What is what? What is Sagitarius?
Like time?
So interesting as Sagittarius can kind of morph to their partner, like they can kind of adapt to whatever their partners like. Is that kind of like you? Yes? I actually that actually is very true. I am adventurous, but I like in a relationship, I tend to adapt to my partner's interests a lot, you know, So I'm not I'm not just saying that's like really true. So so what happened?
You were in a seven year relationship, right, yes, sir? And you adapted as well as you could. I adapted as well as I could. But you know, over time or too much, and people grow apart. We actually were together in college and for most of my professional career we were long distance and our lives just took different paths, and that's something that happened. But I will say I learned a lot from that relationship. Mostly did you learn?
What did you like?
What are the things? Because I do you know tany and sicany both I don't know. They have different outlooks on once you break up with somebody and leave a relationship, you know, But I do believe that you can gain and glean so much from that person that they are should be cherished in a way.
Yeah, one hundred percent. Like I I've moved on, but I will always cherish that relationship. It taught me number one too. When you are mad with your partner, you can't Number one, you can't say things you don't mean. And number two, you can't go to sleep anger. You have to fix. I mean you can, but it's snowball. So that's something that really I learned from that. Also, I learned that a lot of times because you know me, I like to work so much. You have to incorporate time to put your partner's interest first. Like something that in my past relationship, not to not to bring it up, but she liked to go to Target and look at rugs and I didn't really have an interest to do that, but it's my favorite thing. To what you guys love Target marshals, I'm in there for ten minutes and I'm ready to leave, but just marking stress. Yeah he hates it too, But over time, you have to, you know, you have to. So there's gonna be some things that your partner likes to do that you don't have to do. But that's where sacrifice comes in. So that's something I learned. And just thinking about the little things, you know that, that's something I learned. So I learned a lot of things and I've grown from that. So now I was an old man with bad knees.
I'm ready to my grant Elis the Bachelor. So what are you doing for work?
Every day? So I trade the markets. I work for the proprietary firm called top Step and they fund me with capital and I trade and I take a split. Are you up early?
Up early?
When I'm in La, I'm up at six am. When I'm in Houston up at eight, And when I'm in New York, I'm up at nine.
So you're you're working all the time. He's the Batchel. All right, we're gonna come back. Grant Ellis is here. I'm falling for him.
I like your glasses right here. You look shock.
He reminds me of me in a way. December fifteenth, nineteen ninety three in Newark, New Jersey. The world was changed when Grant Ellis was born and lives in Houston in Texas. Now he's on the Bachelor.
So here's the question.
Always good looking guy like yourself, charming, smart, professional basketball player, played in college, went to school.
Why I did a.
Bachelor Yeah, honestly, so Bachelorette first, honestly Gen trans season.
Yeah. So coming out of that seven year relationship, I was really hurt because I put a lot into it and I just took a lot of time to myself and I that's when I was moving out to Houston. I was spend a lot of time with my grandparents and my mom, and I was really digging into my faith. And my mom signed me up for the show because a lot of her friends were asking about man. I was just pushing, pushing them off and just working, and she signed me up. And it kind of just happened that way where I was coming out of that relationship, I was really open, and I just got cast to be on GEN season and then I got dumped and then they asked me to be a Bachelor. So things just happened like that, and it was at the perfect time in my healing process where things just were put together that way.
I mean, look, the bill or the promo photo is worth the whole thing. You holding the rows with the drimming smile. It's saying ABC and Hulu on the bottom of it. Mondays it's worth it. It's all worth it. So you want what do you want? Like, what do you want?
Yeah? I genuinely want a long term commit relationship. I think there's nothing better. Like it's easy to go and find a connection, but to have somebody that's your best friend and that you could really have loyalty and commitment and it shows discipline and it's the honestly, in my opinion, is the best way to live life.
I'm just thinking, I don't know what happens or where you are because you did it all or what is going to go? But does that does that look like marriage or just commitment without marriage?
So when when you're ready, marriage is it's a goal of mind, you know, when you're ready marriages goal of mine. And everybody has different opinions, there are different things that come with it. But uh, marriage is commitment and it's you know, it's putting your mind to something and committing to somebody and it's a symbol of that. So yeah, marriage ultimately, do you like to date? No, I'm telling you I was in a I was in a seven year relationship and after that, I don't have much experience for dating. So being thrown into a pool with twenty five amazing women. I was kind of confused that I.
Saw you with the watch.
I was like, you broke your watch at the beginning this thing. You were so nervous. I was like, what is going on?
Yeah?
It was a lot. And did you get in a little more comfortable as the season went on? Yeah, I definitely got comfortable. You know, it's weird when the cameras are there, But I grew into the comfort, and I grew into the role of the bachelor, and you know, trying to figure out who was going to be the person that was best for me. And her name is Yes, Yeah, ABC, Next Day, Hulu, Well Grant, good luck man, it's so nice to see you.
