Grant Wants To Be A Husband & A Dad
Grant Can’t Wait To Settle Down & Start A Family
DuringThe Bacheloretteseason 21,Grant shared that his"mission"in life is to become a husband and a dad. He told Jenn that he couldn’t wait to come home from work and have his children run to him shouting,“Daddy’s home!“This is such an important dream for the Bachelor to have because the goal of the show is to get engaged.
In the past, there have been too many men who took on the role of the Bachelor when they weren’t ready. Grant was so sweet during the conversation, and he even said that he’d take Jenn’s last name if they got married. Jenn was so impressed with Grant after that conversation that she gave him the group date rose.
Because so many Bachelor leads aren’t truly ready for an engagement, out of 28Bachelorseasons,only one Bachelor married the woman he chose in the end(Sean Lowe and Catherine Guidici), two couples are still engaged (Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar, andJoey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson), and one is still dating (Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell). It’s easy to imagine that Grant will be a success story because he’s so ready for the next step in his life, which is to become a husband and a dad.
Grant Made It To Jenn Tran’s Top 7 Men
Grant Wasn’t About To Propose To Jenn
Grant made it to Jenn’s Top 7 men, which was pretty far, but not far enough that it’s hard to believe that he’d be ready to move on from their relationship in a few months and take on the role of the Bachelor. When runners-up of the show are chosen as leads so soon after they almost proposed to another woman, it’s sometimes hard to believe that they’re truly ready for another engagement. It makes it seem as though they just want to be engaged, and they’ll propose no matter what.
Right before Jenn eliminated Grant, he told her that he could see himself being with her for the rest of his life, and that he already chose her.Grant told Jenn that he was falling in love with her. Grant even told the other guys that he was falling for Jenn, which showed how open he was. He didn’t say it to show off or to make the other men feel inferior. Grant was simply so happy about falling for Jenn that he wanted to shout it from the rooftops.
However, becauseGrant didn’t get to the point of a proposal, he’ll be ready to get engaged to someone else during his ownBachelorseason.Several recent Bachelors haven’t been runners-up, including Zach, Clayton Echard, Peter Weber, and Colton Underwood. It’s always more believable when the Bachelor hasn’t chosen a ring for another woman just months before he proposes to the next one. Grant had the ideal experience of opening his heart to Jenn, without giving it completely away.
