Beverly Ortega’s Unexpected Departure from ‘The Bachelor’ Season 29
February 11, 2025: A Promising Journey Cut Short
Beverly Ortega, a 30-year-old insurance salesperson from Howard Beach, New York, entered Season 29 of “The Bachelor” with high hopes of forming a meaningful connection with Bachelor Grant Ellis. Her journey, however, took an unforeseen turn during the third week of the competition.
Medical Emergency Behind the Exit
Scheduled for a one-on-one date with Ellis, Ortega began experiencing severe stomach pain and vomiting. Initially dismissing it as minor discomfort, her condition worsened, leading to an emergency hospital visit. Doctors diagnosed her with acute appendicitis, necessitating immediate surgery. Given the circumstances, Ortega had to undergo the procedure in California, where the show is filmed, with her mother flying out to support her post-surgery.
Emotional Aftermath and Recovery
The abrupt departure left Ortega without the opportunity to bid farewell to Ellis or her fellow contestants, a situation she found emotionally challenging. Reflecting on her experience, she shared, “It took me a month and a half to recover emotionally.” Despite the unforeseen circumstances, Ortega remains optimistic about her future within the Bachelor franchise. She expressed interest in participating in “Bachelor in Paradise,” hoping for another chance at finding love.
Grant Ellis’s Continued Search for Love
Following Ortega’s departure, Grant Ellis continued his journey to find love. The season has been marked by various emotional highs and lows, with Ellis forming connections with several contestants. As the episodes progress, viewers remain eager to see how his relationships evolve and who will ultimately receive the final rose.
