What Happened To Zoe McGrady After The Bachelor Season 29?

Zoe McGrady made it to Grant Ellis' final three on The Bachelor season 29, but where has she been ever since? Zoe, a 27-year-old model and tech engineer, made her television debut as one of the 25 women dating Grant this season. She had a unique Bachelor Nation journey, as she was the only one among the final four women who never received a solo date. For whatever reason, she and Grant never seemed to connect during the season, so it was a surprise when she got one of his hometown dates.

It would have been impossible for Grant not to notice the stunning Zoe the moment they met on night one of The Bachelor season 29. They even had minor moments during group dates, like when they played basketball together. Unlike some of the more aggressive women, Zoe was more laid back and quiet. She waited for Grant to come to her, which is a bold choice on a reality television show where attention is currency. Zoe's style worked for her. She got one of Grant's final three roses. Read on to find out where she's been ever since.

Grant Barely Seemed To Notice Her

Though he barely seemed to notice her during most of the season, Grant kept The Bachelor season 29's Zoe until the final three.

It was easy to forget Zoe was even there most of the time, so it was pretty surprising when she received a hometown date and when she made it to the final three. He eliminated her before the final two.

Dina got sent home after her hometown date in a shocking elimination. She appeared to be one of Grant's favorites, but he was turned off by her parents not wanting to meet him. After his failed attempt to meet them in Chicago, he had to settle for meeting her friends. He sent Dina home and gave Zoe one of his final three roses.
