Grant's Engagement Might Have Happened There
After Grant's hometown dates, the final three women traveled with him to the Dominican Republic for their overnight Fantasy Suite dates. After the Fantasy Suite dates, he eliminated another woman, and he was left with his final two. The Dominican Republic was also the location of Grant's final rose ceremony, during which he might've gotten engaged. Many of the locations are seen in the Bachelor season 29 preview (shared via the Bachelor Nation YouTube channel).
The Bachelor franchise has filmed in the Dominican Republic before. The Bachelorette season 10 starring Andi Dorfman also filmed there. During her finale, which aired on May 10, 2014, she got engaged to Josh Murray, leaving Nick Viall as her runner-up. Andi and Josh announced their breakup on January 8, 2015.

For Jenn and Grant's one-on-one date, they traveled to Muriwai, a town on the West Coast of New Zealand's North Island. They went horseback riding, and had a picnic on the beach in the rain. It was after this date that Grant truly realized that he was starting to fall for Jenn. Hopefully, he'll have a second chance at that feeling in one of the romantic locations during his own Bachelor season.
The Bachelor season 29's Grant is a very romantic man, so it's fitting that his season is taking place in such romantic places. As he travels through Europe with the women, then visits the hometowns of his final four women, and then has his overnight Fantasy Suite dates in the Dominican Republic, Grant will have the opportunity to make deep connections. Hopefully, Grant will find the love of his life in one of these romantic destinations and get engaged.
