Bachelor’s Juliana Pasquarosa Reveals Why She and Grant Ellis Broke U

by

Juliana Pasquarosa is reflecting on when the last petal fell in her romance with Grant Ellis. 

Six months after announcing their split following the season 29 finale of The Bachelor, the contestant shared details about what led to the end of their three-month engagement.

I’ve noticed Grant and I have been pretty private about things, and honestly, it’s because we both really care about each other. I just don’t want him to get any unfair criticism because of our connection. I think it’s time people understood where we stand, and we’re ready to share a little more clarity.

During the “After the Final Rose” special, Litia Garr shared that the Bachelor had told her he considered ending the show because he felt so connected to her. Juliana noticed their relationship starting to fall apart after Litia revealed this information.

Juliana remembered that right after the rose ceremony, the first thing he said was that he’d already thought about how they could announce their breakup. She was surprised because she hadn’t even decided if she wanted to break up with him yet.

Juliana was more bothered by Grant’s reaction after Litia revealed the secret than she was by Litia telling it.

She felt the issue stemmed from how he dealt with it and his unwillingness to take responsibility.

Juliana recently spoke about her split from Grant, following Grant’s comments about how hard it was to end their engagement.

Writing this was difficult, but I wanted to be honest about our split,” the 31-year-old explained in her announcement. “We both tried very hard and truly cared for each other, but after talking things through, we realized we weren’t meant to be together in the long run.

Grant emphasized that the duo maintained “love” for each other, despite their decision to split. 

And Juliana echoed the sentiment. 

In a joint statement, the couple explained they shared a special connection and supported each other through a significant period of growth. While they’re no longer together as they once envisioned, they expressed mutual respect, care, and optimism for the future.

Before The Golden Bachelor even premiered, Mel Owen faced criticism for comments he made on the MGoBlue Podcasts With Jon Jansen. He stated he wouldn’t consider women over 60 and preferred they avoid things like hip replacements or wigs.

In an August 2025 Instagram Story, Spencer playfully declared he’d “already won.”

Jess echoed the sentiment, posting on social media, “Just really happy about this guy and everything!”

They were thrilled to choose each other over the $250,000 prize, and their happiness continued when they got engaged and received an unexpected check for $190,000.

Although they picked love instead of the $250,000 prize on the Bachelor in Paradise finale, they still received $125,000 as a parting gift.

“This is incredible,” Alexe exclaimed. “I’m leaving with money, but more importantly, with love.”

The show will follow Alexe and Andrew as they start a new chapter together in Chicago, with Alexe planning a move to be with Andrew in the city.

The show later revealed that the two—Kat, who was on Zach Shallcross’ season, and Dale, who was on Clare Crawley’s—traveled the U.S. together and started making plans for their future, including potentially moving closer to each other.

Dale wrote under Kat’s August 2025 Instagram post that things were difficult at times, but they got through it together, and he wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

She explained that he helps her calm down when she’s stressed, and they consistently support each other and have each other’s backs.

Jenn explained to Jesse Palmer that he had strongly declared his love for her, but the very next day acted as if those feelings never existed. She said all the promises and affection he’d expressed were suddenly gone.

Before they finally admitted they were together on the Bachelor in Paradise finale – which, honestly, I KNEW was happening – Victoria actually broke up with Johnny! I mean, she and Johnny were engaged, and then POOF, it was over before she could even run into Greg’s arms. It was all so dramatic, and I was glued to the screen the entire time!
