Fans of Bachelor Nation will remember Juliana Pasquarosa from Season 29 of “The Bachelor,” where she fell in love and got engaged to Grant Ellis. A few months ago, both took to Instagram to share the news of their breakup, marking the end of their engagement.
In a recent episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, Juliana opened up about the circumstances surrounding their breakup, revealing that Grant had considered various ways to publicly announce their split shortly after the show’s finale. While discussing the lead-up to their decision, Juliana disclosed that she ultimately was the one to initiate the breakup, weeks before they made it public on social media.
During her interview on the “Almost Famous Podcast,” Juliana reflected on the difficulties they faced after the finale aired. She stated, “We were not on the same page once the finale kind of aired… That was just one piece of the puzzle.” As public scrutiny intensified, especially following Grant’s decision to end his prior relationship with Litia Garr, Juliana felt an immense pressure. “I have to give him grace, because it is so hard when it feels like the world is coming at you,” she explained. She expressed a desire for support from Grant during that challenging time but felt that his focus was on perceptions rather than their relationship.
Further detailing their split, she noted that it occurred during a previously planned family trip to Aruba, where Grant left early, acknowledging the strains that had been building between them. “I broke up with him,” Juliana confirmed, explaining that they had naturally been drifting apart, despite him maintaining communication with her family during that time.
On a brighter note, Juliana shared that she has started seeing someone new as she continues to heal from the breakup. “It’s new, but it’s fun and it’s flirty and I like that,” she said. Reflecting on her journey, she mentioned initially taking things slow, and how an unexpected urge to open up to a persistent admirer led her to reconsider her stance. “So, we’re going to hang out,” she added, hinting at a hopeful turn in her romantic life.
With her candid reflections and a budding new connection, Juliana Pasquarosa is stepping forward with optimism after a challenging chapter, showing that healing can lead to new opportunities in love.
