The Bachelor Season 29 Winner Reveals Shocking Relationship Dealbreaker With Grant Ellis Amid Signs Producers Made A Mistake Choosing Him As Lead

The Bachelor's Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa are now officially an engaged couple, but there might still be a major obstacle in their path going forward. The Bachelor season 29 ended with Grant rejecting runner-up Litia Garr. This all came on the heels of the latest Bachelor Nation lead feeling very torn between who to choose. That behavior led to some major conversations in the fandom about whether the producers even made the right decision casting Grant as the new lead. There was also speculation that alleged producer interference doomed The Bachelor season 29.

In a new interview with People, Grant and Juliana opened up about how their relationship is going right now, including what obstacles might still derail their engagement. Grant said that their respective dogs need to meet each other, adding, "I just got a puppy and [Juliana] has her dog Charlie." Juliana replied that her dog isn't a "big dog person" or "people person," so she's very interested in finding out how Charlie will get along with Grant and his puppy. After all, "Charlie's opinion matters the most," she concluded.

During the same interview, Grant and Juliana also gave some insight into what their living situation will be like going forward. Grant can't wait to move to Massachusetts, which is where Juliana lives. However, the Bachelor lead still plans to keep his house in Houston, Texas, "but I'm also going to come over there and we're going to make it work." When he arrives to the Boston area, he and Juliana will "take a peek at apartments and see what our vibe is like and where we want to be," according to his new fiancée.

What It Means For Grant & Juliana That “Charlie’s Opinion Matters The Most”

Would Juliana End Her Engagement Over Their Pets?

It's not surprising that Juliana wants to take her dog Charlie's feelings into consideration. There are a lot of people who don't want to date someone who doesn't get along with their pets. It makes complete sense for their pets to play a big role in their relationship going forward. Having said that, this stage typically happens during the early dating phase of a relationship, not after a couple has already gotten engaged. If it doesn't seem like Charlie likes Grant, the big question will be whether Juliana decides to stay engaged to him anyway.

Grant appears to be moving full steam ahead with his plans to move to Massachusetts. It's interesting that he still wants to keep his home in Houston. While this is a completely different situation, there are slight similarities to The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple, who still live in Maryland and Kansas, respectively, while they try to find a home together in New York. Maybe Grant wants to stay connected to his community in Texas, even if his main residence changes to Boston.

Grant & Juliana Might Follow In Joey & Kelsey's Footsteps

Hopefully, Grant and Juliana provide an update after their dogs have met. Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson became influencers and are constantly posting updates about their lives on social media. Fans really got to know this fan-favorite couple on The Bachelor, so it seemed natural for Joey and Kelsey to keep that open line of communication with the public after their season ended. It'll be interesting to see if Grant and Juliana follow a similar path, including showing their dogs meeting and, hopefully, becoming friends as the newly engaged couple learn more about each other and plan their future together.
