Grant transparently opened up about his relationship struggles with his father while he was with Jenn. Since then, his father went to rehab and has been celebrating his sobriety month after month, and his bond with Grant has gotten stronger ever since he made the move to not only get better for himself, but for his family.
His father made an appearance on the premiere last night and the two shared a very emotional conversation. His father told him that he “deserves love” and that he’ll be a “better dad” than him when its time. The love was definitely felt between the two, and Bachelor nation loves to see that the duo’s once strained relationship, has evolved.

Does Grant Ellis Have Siblings?
Grant has an older sister named Taylor Ellis, who is a model. She made her own Bachelor debut last night as she made a surprise appearance while Grant was getting to know the 25 contestants. The other women were nervous when Taylor entered the house, and elegantly walked her way to Grant, who was sitting outside with one of the women. When the women finally learned that Taylor was his sister, they laughed and felt relieved that she wasn’t new competition. Taylor went on to adorably present Grant’s baby and teen pictures and the contestants were captivated.
His sister is a successful model who is represented by Ford Models and her shoots have been featured in Marie Claire and InStyle Mexico. She put her studies for nursing to the side to focus on her modeling career.
