But Grant must make some difficult choices when narrowing down his cast of ladies to only one winner.
"I don't want to give anything away and I don't want to speak on behalf of Grant, but I think he's very, very happy with how things ended," Jesse told Us Weekly.
"I know he's really excited for everybody to watch this whole thing unfold."
Jesse added of The Bachelor star, "Grant's a very easy guy to root for."
Jesse, who starred on The Bachelor's fifth season in 2004 and replaced former host Chris Harrison in 2021 for Season 26, has high hopes that Grant will continue the trend of happy post-The Bachelor relationships.
Grant will be following in the footsteps of Season 28 star Joey Graziadei, who is happily engaged to his winner Kelsey Anderson, and Season 27 star Zach Shallcross, who is still engaged to his winner Kaity Biggar.
"I'm a fan of his, and I know he's a guy that's been so successful in everything he's done in his life outside of love [so far]," Jesse shared of Grant.
"And so with Zach and Joey, we're kind of running this streak a little bit and I think we have a chance to keep this thing going, fingers crossed."
Jesse previously teased in an interview with Parade that Grant's The Bachelor season is going to be "very, very emotional" for viewers.
"There are going to be some surprises along the road for sure," Jesse teased.

"This isn't one of those seasons where there's going to be a few surprises early and then it's sort of smooth sailing all the way."
The host added, "I think people will be on the edge of their seats each and every single week."

Jesse recalled how the cast was pretty anxious and tense when they filmed The Bachelor's Season 29 premiere.
"A lot of nervous energy is what I remember on Grant's first night," Jesse said.
"Normally, that's a theme. I just think Grant was really tapping back into his experience on [Jenn Tran]'s season and remembering how he felt when he got out of the limo."
But Jesse shared how Grant's bachelorettes "did an unbelievable job" with their Night 1 entrances and introductions.
"They were creative, clever, witty, funny. They all looked absolutely beautiful. Very memorable," Jesse gushed.

"There are some very strong opinions in the house," Jesse noted with a laugh.
"They're not afraid to voice those set opinions pretty early on. I think people can get ready for that."
Jesse insisted Grant's The Bachelor season "starts with a bang" and plays out as a very authentic journey to find love.
"Grant's a really sweet guy... He's very deserving of this opportunity," Jesse said.
Grant's cast of bachelorettes range in age from 25-32, and they include a pediatric speech therapist, a boxing trainer, an interior designer, an attorney, a venture capitalist, and a wedding planner.
When Grant, a New Jersey native, is not working, he enjoys cheering on the Lakers, going bowling, and belting out tunes at karaoke nights.
"As the Bachelor, Grant is eager to embark on a journey filled with romance, adventure and genuine connections," ABC said in a statement.
On The Bachelorette's 21st season which wrapped in Summer 2024, Jenn was shown eliminating Grant during the show's August 12 episode, and Grant seemed pretty crushed to be denied a rose right before hometown dates.

Although Jenn didn't even select Grant as one of her Final 4 bachelors, Grant was admittedly "falling" in love with The Bachelorette star -- so much so, he said he was totally ready to get engaged.
It's therefore probably safe to assume Grant was ready and willing to get engaged on his season of The Bachelor.
