Grant Ellis and Juliana Post-The Bachelor: Are They Built to Last?
Season 29 of The Bachelor had no shortage of drama, romance, and heartbreak, culminating in a finale that left fans divided. Grant Ellis, a 30-year-old day trader from Newark, NJ, ultimately proposed to Juliana Pasquarosa, a 28-year-old client service associate from Massachusetts, over finalist Litia Garr. While the couple seems happy post-show, the big question remains: Will their relationship last beyond the cameras?
The Journey to the Final Rose
Grant’s season was full of twists, but one of the most talked-about storylines was his undeniable chemistry with both Juliana and Litia. Throughout the season, he expressed strong feelings for both women, making it difficult to predict his final choice. While Juliana’s steady presence and effortless connection with Grant made her a fan favorite, Litia’s emotional vulnerability and deep conversations with him made it clear she wasn’t just a runner-up—she was real competition.
In the emotional finale, set against the backdrop of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Grant made his final decision, proposing to Juliana in a heartfelt moment that left her in tears. However, the breakup with Litia wasn’t without controversy. She admitted to feeling blindsided, later revealing that Grant had repeatedly reassured her that she was his top choice in the weeks leading up to the proposal.
Life After The Bachelor
During the After the Final Rose special, Grant and Juliana appeared happy and in sync, revealing their plans to move in together in Boston. The couple also announced they would be taking a romantic trip to Italy, a post-show gift to celebrate their engagement. When asked about wedding plans, they hesitated to commit to a date, emphasizing their desire to take things slow and build a strong foundation outside the reality TV bubble.
Despite their public happiness, the Litia controversy still looms. While Grant has denied any misleading behavior, Litia’s claims have sparked debates online. Some fans question whether Grant was truly certain about his decision or if he made a last-minute choice under pressure. Juliana, however, remains confident in their relationship, stating that she trusts Grant and isn’t interested in revisiting the past.
Will They Beat the Bachelor Odds?
The Bachelor franchise has a well-documented history of couples struggling to maintain their relationships once the cameras stop rolling. While a few have made it work, many engagements fizzle out under the pressures of media attention, long-distance struggles, and real-world realities that don’t always align with TV romance.
For now, Grant and Juliana seem committed to proving the skeptics wrong. With plans to build a life together and a mutual understanding of the challenges ahead, they’re giving their love story a real chance. But will their connection stand the test of time, or will they become another Bachelor couple that calls it quits after the honeymoon phase? Only time will tell.
