During Episode 3, Litia provided Grant with intimate details about her family history. She recounted, “My mom is from Idaho. She’s white and my dad is from Fiji. They fell in love and they got married and they had me.” She shared the poignant story of her father’s untimely death in a car accident when she was only three months old, followed by her mother’s remarriage.
“Even though he’s gone, I still feel his love,” Litia expressed in her introductory video during the season premiere, highlighting the enduring impact of her father’s presence in her life.
In the same introductory video, Litia conveyed her aspirations for a large family and her desire to build one in the future. ABC’s official bio for Litia characterized her as a “vibrant, empathetic, and confident woman with a lot of love to give” who is “ready for a man to put her first.” The bio further elaborated that she seeks a partner who embodies qualities such as “honesty, vulnerability, and family-oriented” values.
The Breakup: Why Grant and Litia Parted Ways
Grant Ellis chose to end his romantic involvement with Litia, articulating that he did not perceive himself as “her person.” He conveyed his intent to further explore his connection with Juliana, a pursuit that culminated in his proposal to Pasquarosa. Grant explained to Litia that his “emotional connection is stronger somewhere else,” referring to Juliana. Previously, in a conversation with his father, Grant had expressed concerns regarding Litia’s desire for marriage and children within two years, which he felt was misaligned with his current life priorities. He voiced a preference for extended travel and shared experiences as a couple before committing to family life.
Litia Garr: Potential Next ‘Bachelorette’?
Typically, contestants eliminated from The Bachelor are often considered as prime candidates to lead the subsequent season of The Bachelorette. However, at this juncture, there are no indications suggesting Litia is being considered for the next Bachelorette. In fact, reports suggest that The Bachelorette might not broadcast a season in 2025. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the dating series is reportedly skipping Season 22 following Grant’s season.
Jesse Palmer, host of the Bachelor franchise, has assured fans that the show’s future is secure. “The good news is I know it’s not going away,” he stated in a February 2025 episode of the Playing the Field podcast. “I know it’s definitely coming back. Without being able to get into too much of the creative decisions on it, I know that when it does [return], I just think it’s going to be absolutely tremendous.”
‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Set to Return
Following a hiatus last year for The Golden Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise is scheduled to make its comeback in 2025 for its 10th season. The official premiere date is yet to be announced publicly.
During the After the Final Rose segment of The Bachelor finale, Jesse Palmer extended an invitation to Zoe McGrady, a final four contestant from Grant’s season, to join Bachelor in Paradise, which she enthusiastically accepted, adding to the anticipation for the upcoming season.
The upcoming installment of Bachelor in Paradise will also mark a historic moment by featuring the first participants from The Golden Bachelorette, Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston. In addition, Jonathan Johnson and Hakeem Moulton from Jenn Tran’s season 21 of The Bachelorette are slated to join the cast, promising a season filled with familiar faces and new romantic journeys.
