Prior to the season premiere, Grant told Business Insider he had “a really special connection with Litia,” and said it grew throughout the season.
Their connection has indeed been one of the strongest and most consistent of the season, and Litia, 31, is now one of the remaining four contestants vying for Grant’s heart.
Here’s everything to know about her.

Litia’s mom, who’s from Idaho, and her late dad, who was from Fiji, met in college in Hawaii. Three months after her birth in Hawaii, Litia’s dad died in a car accident.
“Even though he’s gone, I still feel his love and his presence in my life,” Litia says during the season premiere.
Litia remains close with her mom, whom she calls the “greatest example of strength and resilience,” and her extended family.
Religion is also a significant part of Litia’s life. She was raised Mormon and says on the show that religion is a “guiding light” for her.
During her one-on-one date with Grant during week five, Litia speaks about her religious upbringing and says she wants her future children to know they’re loved by God. Grant and Litia bond over their desire to have big families, and although the Bachelor isn’t familiar with Mormon beliefs, he agrees that he’d like God to be a presence in his kids’ lives.
She’s a Swiftie
Litia attended one of Taylor Swift’s concerts in Vancouver as part of the Eras Tour in December and documented the experience on social media.
“swiftie core 🫶🏽,” she captioned an Instagram post that included photos and videos of her trading friendship bracelets and belting out Swift’s songs with her mom and other attendees.

Grant and Litia’s connection starts off strong, and it’s strengthened by an emotional one-on-one conversation during week three.
“After tonight, Litia could be my wife,” Grant says.
Then, after their one-on-one date in Edinburgh during week five, Litia says that she can see a life with him.
Their feelings grow even stronger that evening during dinner when Grant cries while opening up about feeling lonely as a child and trying to put on a brave face. In response, Litia is comforting and assures Grant that he’s “enough.”
“Knowing I have a safe space with Litia, knowing that I have somebody that I’m comfortable with, that I can let her in and she can know my biggest insecurities and that she’s accepting of it is big for me,” Grant says. “I know she sees that, and I know she sees me for me.”
“I feel like you’re somebody who I could see myself building a life with and I am falling for you,” Grant tells Litia.
Even though Litia doesn’t tell Grant that the feelings are mutual, she shares the same sentiment.
“I feel grateful that he opened up to me and it just made me want to love him,” Litia says in the voiceover.
Fans will have to keep tuning into “The Bachelor” to see if Grant and Litia’s relationship goes the distance.
New episodes of season 29 of “The Bachelor” air Mondays on ABC.
