The End Was Just the Beginning: What Really Happened to Grant & Juliana After The Bachelor

Grant & Juliana: The Breakup Happened, But the Story Isn’t Over Yet...

When Grant Ellis slipped a ring onto Juliana Pasquarosa’s finger in the finale of The Bachelor Season 29, millions of hearts melted. The charming nurse with the sparkling eyes and the handsome architect with a poetic soul seemed to have found a fairy tale ending — but sadly, fairy tales often fade when the music stops.

Just three months after that sunset proposal in Mexico, the couple announced they were "amicably calling off the engagement." It was a polite, somewhat… bureaucratic statement: “We continue to respect one another, but have realized our paths are no longer aligned.” Well, sure. Everyone says that. But what kept fans buzzing was everything they didn’t say.

Juliana vanished from social media for a brief spell, only to reemerge in full “rebirth mode” in Bali: yoga at dawn, wheatgrass shots, and cryptic captions like “healing is not linear.” Meanwhile, the usually reserved Grant stunned fans when he was spotted having dinner with — wait for it — a former contestant from a previous season. One fan quipped, “He clearly prefers women who walk out of The Bachelor rather than into real life.”

They may no longer be together, but in the minds of viewers, they remain inseparable — a textbook example that love born under the spotlight can shine brilliantly, but isn’t always bright enough to light the long road ahead.

So the questions linger: Is Juliana truly learning to love herself — or just pressing pause on loving someone else? And Grant — has he really moved on, or is he simply performing the role of “doing just fine” while quietly nursing a bruised heart?

One chapter has closed, yes — but clearly, the audience isn’t ready to change the channel just yet.
