The Timeline of Heartbreak: When and How the Engagement Ended
The relationship between Grant and Juliana was one of the shortest-lived in recent Bachelor history. The rapid decline from engagement to separation occurred in the months immediately following the show’s conclusion.
1. A Short-Lived Public Romance
Grant proposed to Juliana in the Season 29 finale, which aired in March 2025. The couple then spent a few months navigating their relationship away from the cameras, attempting to transition from the "Bachelor bubble" to real life. The pressure to maintain a picture-perfect image while living in separate cities—Grant in Houston, Juliana in Newton—proved to be a major hurdle.
2. The Official Breakup Announcement (June 13, 2025)
Less than three months after their televised engagement, both Grant and Juliana took to their respective Instagram Stories to announce the end of their relationship. Grant wrote that they had decided to end their relationship after "a lot of deep conversations" and that they were "simply not the right fit long term."
Juliana echoed the sentiment of a mutual decision, stating they both gave it their best effort. The amicable tone of their initial statements did little to prepare fans for the conflicting details that would emerge later.
5 Shocking Details That Led to the Grant and Juliana Split
While the initial announcement was respectful and vague, later interviews and social media posts from both parties revealed deeper issues and even conflicting narratives about who decided to end the engagement.
1. The Conflicting "Who Broke Up With Who" Narrative
The most dramatic revelation came when Grant and Juliana gave separate accounts of the split. Grant, during an Instagram Q&A, claimed, "I didn't break up with anybody." This suggested the decision was either entirely Juliana's or a completely mutual, painless one. However, Juliana later gave an interview where she implied the decision was already made by Grant, suggesting he had "planned" the breakup right after the finale. This contradiction painted a picture of underlying tension and disagreement over the relationship's end.
2. The Incompatibility of Their Real-World Lives
Despite their on-screen chemistry, the transition to the real world exposed significant incompatibilities. Grant is a Day Trader and former professional athlete based in Houston, Texas, while Juliana is a Client Service Associate with deep roots in Newton, Massachusetts. The pressure to choose a city and merge their two very different lives proved to be too much.
3. The Speed of the Bachelor Bubble
The accelerated timeline of *The Bachelor*—where a proposal happens after only a few weeks—often leads to real-world failure. For Grant and Juliana, the short time spent together before the engagement meant they didn't have a solid foundation to withstand the post-show scrutiny and logistical challenges. They simply ran out of time to truly get to know each other outside of the fantasy setting.
4. Grant’s Focus on Career and Location
Grant's career as a Day Trader requires stability and focus, which conflicted with the demands of a public, long-distance relationship. While Grant had expressed a desire to move closer to Juliana and her family in the Northeast, his established life in Houston made the transition difficult.
5. Juliana’s Post-Breakup Honesty
In the months following the split, Juliana shared a life update, indicating she was moving forward and focusing on her own happiness. Her decision to speak openly about the breakup, even six months later, provided a sense of closure for fans, even while maintaining a positive view of Grant as a "genuine person" and supporting him in his next chapter.
Where Are Grant and Juliana Now? Current Life Updates
Since their June 2025 breakup announcement, both Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa have moved on with their separate lives, focusing on their careers and personal growth.
Grant Ellis continues to reside in Houston, Texas, where he pursues his work as a Day Trader. He has remained active on social media, occasionally answering fan questions about his time on the show and the split, though he maintains that he is not currently in contact with Juliana.
Juliana Pasquarosa has returned to her life in Massachusetts, focusing on her career as a Client Service Associate. She has shared updates on her social media, expressing gratitude for her support system and embracing her new chapter as a single woman. She has appeared on podcasts, offering her perspective on the end of her engagement and the realities of being the winner of *The Bachelor*.
While their journey did not end with a wedding, the story of Grant and Juliana serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges couples face when trying to make a TV romance last in the complicated real world.
