Wed Jan 29 07:50:00 IST 2025: **Bachelor Grant Ellis Breaks First-Night Kissing Record**
LOS ANGELES, CA – Grant Ellis, the star of the 29th season of ABC’s *The Bachelor*, has set a new record for the most kisses on the first night of the show. During the January 27th premiere, Ellis shared smooches with eight of the 25 women vying for his heart, surpassing the previous record of seven set by Joey Graziadei in season 28.
While a llama named Linda provided some unexpected entertainment, Ellis wasted no time getting to know the contestants, resulting in several extended kissing sessions. Among those receiving kisses were Allyshia (who ironically declared she doesn’t kiss on first dates), Juliana, Litia, Alexe, Vicky, Zoe, Natalie, and Rose. Alexe, the recipient of the coveted first impression rose, enjoyed a second kiss with Ellis by the fire, guaranteeing her a one-on-one date and a place in the mansion. Ellis revealed he also intended to kiss Carolina but her tears derailed the romantic moment.
A preview for upcoming episodes shows Ellis continuing his kissing spree with additional contestants, promising a season full of romantic entanglements. The show airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
