Grant Ellis faced significant challenges during his time as the lead on The Bachelor Season 29. His struggles intensified following his engagement to Juliana Pasquarosa. While establishing connections with the contestants proved difficult for Grant, a turning point arrived during a group excursion to Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, a romantic date in a magnificent castle left Juliana feeling like royalty, establishing her as a clear favorite in Grant’s heart.
However, Grant found himself entangled in emotional turmoil as he developed feelings for another contestant, Litia Garr. Litia epitomized the qualities Grant sought in a future partner, yet his bond with Juliana felt deeper. They shared similar past experiences, including struggles with loneliness and addiction in their families. Ultimately, after much contemplation, Grant chose Juliana, leaving viewers with the impression that they were a happy couple post-engagement. Yet, soon after The Bachelor season concluded, noticeable changes in Juliana’s demeanor began to surface.

Following her triumph in winning Grant’s affections, Juliana’s demeanor shifted dramatically. During the season finale, Litia confronted Grant regarding his perceived insincerity, leading her to believe an engagement was imminent. Subsequently, during a joint appearance with Grant on Entertainment Tonight, Juliana made headlines for belittling Litia’s feelings, stating, “Her perception is her reality.”
Public sentiment leaned heavily in favor of Litia, which prompted defensiveness from Juliana. She interacted with social media posts that criticized Litia and even posted a TikTok asserting, “You don’t have to care for me.”In a bold move, Juliana also launched a clothing line named Nice Girls Label. Although she claimed her late Nonna inspired the brand, the timing suggests she may be capitalizing on the media uproar surrounding her conduct.

Her Former Castmates Are Icing Her Out
Juliana’s interpersonal relations have also soured with fellow contestant Carolina Sofia Quixano, particularly after their initial clashes on The Bachelor. Carolina recently released a diss track aimed at both Grant and Juliana, labeling Grant a “sheep in lone wolf’s clothing.”During an interview on The Viall Files, Juliana expressed her reaction to the track, stating, “I had to shut it off after like five seconds because I was cringing to my core.” Meanwhile, the majority of the Season 29 cast appears to rally around Litia, leaving Juliana feeling isolated.
Will Grant & Juliana Tie The Knot?
Neither Seems Ready To Fully Commit
As for their wedding plans, Grant and Juliana are proceeding cautiously, which is not surprising given their indecision during the show. Grant appreciates that Juliana avoided pressuring him, unlike Litia. Although they are considering a destination wedding in Italy to celebrate with their families, they seem keen on taking their time to strengthen their relationship before making any further commitments.
Grant’s last-minute doubts during the proposal raise questions about their engagement’s longevity. Without a robust foundation for their relationship, there is a genuine risk that the couple may grow apart over time. Given Juliana’s recent conduct since the show wrapped, it’s conceivable that Grant might begin reassessing their partnership.
The Bachelor series can be streamed on Hulu, offering fans the opportunity to revisit the ups and downs of this season and consider the challenges that lie ahead for Grant and Juliana.
