The Bachelor season 29 champion, Juliana Pasquarosa, has opened up about her breakup with Grant Ellis.
Juliana’s Perspective on the Breakup
Juliana, 28, shared her thoughts on the December 2 episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. She expressed that both she and Grant, 31, tried to keep their issues private to avoid any negative impact on each other. However, she felt it was time to provide some clarity.
Following the show’s finale in March, where Grant proposed, Juliana felt isolated after a conversation with Grant. She mentioned feeling burdened by unresolved emotions while rewatching the show.
Concerns Over Public Perception
Juliana prioritized Grant’s mental well-being, noting that he faced criticism. She was particularly affected by comments from runner-up Litia Garr during the finale. Juliana sought accountability from Grant regarding these matters.
During After the Final Rose, Litia claimed Grant wanted to end the show early because she was his top choice. Grant later contested these claims in an interview with Us Weekly.
Planning the Breakup Announcement
Juliana revealed her frustration when Grant suggested ways to announce their breakup, which she had not yet decided on. This conversation occurred after a heated exchange the previous night.
Current Status with Grant Ellis
Juliana confirmed that she and Grant no longer communicate, although they have spoken since their split. She expressed well wishes for him despite the lack of contact.
Relationship with Litia Garr
Juliana discussed her strained relationship with Litia, who allegedly disclosed Juliana’s engagement to other contestants. This breach of trust affected their friendship.
Juliana also addressed rumors about her personal life, which Litia reportedly discussed on a podcast. Juliana found these comments damaging and embarrassing.
Future in Bachelor Nation
Juliana mentioned dating someone in Boston but ended it due to external pressures. She expressed interest in potentially joining Bachelor in Paradise but was unsure how she would handle Grant’s presence on the show.
