After being torn between the final two women vying for his affection, Bachelor Grant Ellis ultimately found The One in Juliana Pasquarosa.
“I truly believe that you are somebody who is my best friend and I’m so grateful for our journey,” Grant told Juliana in the March 2025 season 29 finale of The Bachelor before getting down on one knee. “When you’re going through the toughest times in your life, I want you to know you don’t have to go through it alone. I’ll be there for you as your man, as your friend and as your partner.”
After the engagement, Grant and Juliana reunited onstage for the live After the Final Rose and revealed they were still going strong — and moving to Boston. While reflecting on his season, Grant exclusively gushed to Us Weekly about his connection with Juliana.
“From night one, we really connected over our love of playing the piano. We always had that physical chemistry, and then we started to really develop an emotional connection,” he told Us. “Every relationship was different, but that was a relationship that really developed over time.”

Grant revealed he was “falling for” Juliana. “I feel like it could be a fit for me,” he told Juliana before leaving.

The couple was all smiles, though, after spending the night together in the Dominican Republic. “We got a lot of questions answered. Said a lot of things, had a lot of fun,” Juliana said.
