Get to Know the New Bachelor From Jenn Tran’s Season
5. Family is key for Grant, and he describes himself as a “mama’s boy” in his Bachelorette bio. While on the show, Grant also opened up about his relationship with his dad, including his father’s battle with addiction.
“My father has been an addict for, like, 30 years,” he told Jenn during their one-on-one date in New Zealand on the Aug. 5 episode. “Addiction is a hard thing. Because growing up my pops was everything. Like, he was my superhero. He used to take me to the park. And he always used to be inebriated or intoxicated under the substance. And the worst thing is I didn’t know. When you’re a child, you believe everything. And the one person I trusted most was always lying.”
Shortly before Grant came on the show, he continued, his father lost his job.
“Sometimes addicts, they blame,” Grant said. “So he was blaming everybody: ‘Oh, my boss this. My boss that.’ I was like, ‘Listen, dad. I don’t f–king care.’ This is like the proudest I’ve ever been of my dad. He called me the next day and he said, ‘I’m checking into rehab.’ Checked into rehab. And ever since that, we had a talk and he was like, ‘Listen, son: This is the first time that you know the real me when I’m not intoxicated.’ So, I’m really leaning into that. So now’s he a little under two months sober. I hope he holds strong. It’s his first time living too.”
6. Think you could be the one for Grant? When it comes to what he’s looking for in a soulmate, his Bachelor bio states “he hopes to find a partner who shares his values of loyalty, humor and a deep appreciation for life’s simple pleasures.”
