Who Is ‘The Bachelor’ Star Grant Ellis’ Sister? Meet Taylor Ellis
Grant Ellis isn’t the only member of his family to be involved in the entertainment industry. The Bachelor Season 29 star has a sister named Taylor Ellis who had already made quite a name for herself outside of Grant’s reality television fame.
Since Grant didn’t make it to hometown dates on The Bachelorette, fans didn’t get to meet his family on the show. However, now that he’s the leading man, viewers will get to know a lot more about him.
Scroll down for everything we know about Grant’s only sibling.
Grant Ellis’ sister Taylor is a model
Taylor is a model who has appeared in Marie Claire and InStyle Mexico. She is represented by Ford Models, according to her portfolio on their website. As a model, Taylor goes by “Loreal Ellis,” using her middle name for her moniker.
Although Taylor was interested in modeling when she was younger, it wasn’t until she was in college that she began pursuing it.

“All my life I’ve been told I should be a model up until college where it got so overwhelming that I knew I had to give it a try,” she told The Fashion Showdown. “So literally put school on hold to pursue modeling, and the rest is history.”
It admittedly wasn’t always a “smooth road” for the 5’10” runway queen. “Main challenges for me where hip measurements and being an woman of color, in general, makes it more … and measurement requirements for high fashion are quite unorthodox and it can become unhealthy for [the] majority of people to try to obtain/maintain these measurements,” she continued. “It’s rather ridiculous, if you ask me. But there are plenty of jobs also that don’t require those far-fetched measurements and more money involved [so] I’ve diverted my energy into that route of modeling now.”
For her modeling career, Taylor has attended various Fashion Week shows and other high-profile events over the years.
Taylor Ellis is pursuing acting
After her modeling career took off, Taylor began a new venture. “I’ve been getting more into acting. Getting really serious about it,” she admitted. She has one acting credit on her IMDb page — a role in the 2024 short film Missionary. She played “Hottie” in the movie, which starred Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Jhené Aiko.
What did Taylor Ellis do before modeling?
Before she decided to go the modeling route, Taylor was in school for nursing.
Taylor Ellis knows Kanye West
In addition to starring in Missionary with the recognizable names above, Taylor also posted photos from attending Kanye West‘s birthday party in June 2023. “The other night at Ye’s birthday party. ‘Twas a different vibe. If you missed it, I feel bad for you,” she captioned the post.
