Zoe introduced herself to Grant on The Bachelor’s Season 29 premiere that aired on January 27 on ABC.
When Zoe stepped out of a limo on Night 1, she gifted Grant a T-shirt with their faces on it, and they proceeded to shoot more of those T-shirts out to women in the mansion.
“I think we’re the best looking couple here, so let the games begin,” Zoe told the cameras.
It appears Zoe may emerge as a villain on Grant’s The Bachelor season. For instance, one bachelorette is shown accusing Zoe of talking to Grant four times in one day.
“I shot my shot!” Zoe quipped to the angry bachelorette.
Will Zoe end up being the last woman standing, or will drama get in her way of winning Grant’s heart?
Until viewers can watch more of Zoe and Grant’s story unfold on The Bachelor, let’s learn some information about this beautiful bachelorette right now.
Below is a list of six facts Reality TV World has compiled about The Bachelor 29 bachelorette Zoe McGrady.

Zoe is a model and content creator on the side
Zoe has a career in mechanical engineering, but she’s also very active on social media and has over 10,000 followers. She posts videos about beauty, skincare, and lifestyle.
Not only is Zoe a content creator and influencer, but she also models.
Modeling was a childhood dream Zoe has fulfilled. She signed with a top agency in New York City, Wilhelmina, and has already worked with brands like Under Armour, Sephora, Fanatics and Kiehl’s.
Zoe serves as a proud Youth Mentor in New York City
Zoe dabbles in motivational speaking and is passionate about mentoring.
She promotes STEM, being an ACE (adverse childhood experiences) advocate, and inspires children to reach their potential through self-work and healthy habits.
The bachelorette works with various organizations and shares her experiences about working in male-dominated fields — from wrestling in high school to holding down a job in engineering.
Zoe was adopted and grew up in Virginia
Zoe, a mixed woman with one sister, was adopted by two white people. The girls grew up in a predominantly all-white town in the South.
“It was kind of weird. We were always the people [others] were staring at,” Zoe said on an episode of the “Miss Represented” podcast.
“Being one of few people of color down there just made things a bit difficult at times. For me, especially, being Black and being interested in science and math and stuff, I was always the black sheep of my hometown.”
Zoe lamented about how she never really had a “circle of people” and friends to support her.
