The reality TV show “The Bachelorette” has seen an emotional departure of Ellis, a former professional basketball player from Houston, Texas. Despite expressing his love for the bachelorette, Ellis was not chosen to continue to Hometowns, where contestants meet each other’s families. Ellis will now have the opportunity to find love as the lead in the upcoming season 29 of “The Bachelor”, scheduled to air in 2025.

ABC, in a press release, described Ellis as a “self-proclaimed mama’s boy” with an infectious smile and unwavering positivity. Although disappointed by his experience on “The Bachelorette”, Ellis is eager to find happiness, love, and a family in the next season of “The Bachelor”. The network shared that as the new Bachelor, Ellis is looking forward to a journey filled with romance, adventure, and genuine connections.

This opportunity will allow Ellis to give everything to someone and receive the same in return.
