Grant Ellis and Litia Garr
The Bachelor’s star, Grant Ellis, appears to be sending a subtle message to ex Litia Garr—through a surprisingly expressive hat. On a Saturday, June 28 TikTok video, the 31-year-old was seen perched on the edge of a bed, donning a trucker hat emblazoned with the single word, ‘Happy.’ Before the clip ends, Grant flashes a warm smile at the camera, amplifying the intrigue.
Grant’s post, captioned simply, ‘Everybody’s journey is different, and breakups are hard but loving yourself is the key to healing,’ appeared just days after Litia, also 31, fueled speculation with her own line of statement hats—a move keenly observed in the comment sections by their avid fanbase.
‘Everyone is just talking to each other through hats,’ one commenter noted, evoking a response from Grant marked by three crying-laughing emojis.
The internet was abuzz on Monday, June 23, when Litia unveiled her own series of trucker hats, featuring her signature catchphrase ‘C’mon Now’ in flowing white script. Among the noteworthy designs were caps adorned with ‘GASLIGHT SURVIVOR’ stitched underneath, a touch accompanied by a star and horse embroidery, making waves upon their Tuesday, June 24 release in striking blue and green hues.
As discussions about the appropriateness of the ‘gaslit’ term brewed amongst followers, Litia stood her ground firmly. ‘It’s not accurate to use the term gaslit in this situation,’ one follower opined, to which Litia retorted confidently, ‘It happened to me so I’ll decide what it’s called. Thanks tho 💘. Call your own experiences whatever you want.’
Earlier in the year, Bachelor Nation followed the unfolding drama as Grant called things off with Litia during the dramatic finale of The Bachelor’s 29th season, pivoting instead toward a romance with Juliana Pasquarosa. As Grant sought Litia’s understanding post-breakup—saying he hoped she wouldn’t ‘view [him] any differently’—Litia’s poignant response echoed her iconic phrase, ‘Well I do, for sure. C’mon now.’
Following the publicized breakup, Litia revealed on the live show that Grant had once assured her he could ‘stop the show’ because she was his chosen one—a statement Grant later contested in an Us Weekly interview, indicating that ‘a lot’ of Litia’s claims didn’t align with his truth.
Barely three months post-finale, Grant announced on social media the end of his engagement with Juliana, aged 28. During a candid Instagram Live session, when probed about the possibility of rekindling past flames, Grant expressed his firm stance: ‘I don’t rekindle. I move forward,’ he confessed. ‘I would not get back with anybody from my past. Life is best when you move forward, not backward.’
Thus, unfolding a narrative of love, loss, and determined self-discovery—all intricately woven through the threads of mere hats, yet echoing with profound personal truths.
