Why Bachelor Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa Are Not Rushing to the Altar
After the emotional finale of The Bachelor Season 29, Bachelor Grant Ellis engagement became a highlight. Even with their clear connection, Grant and Juliana believe in savoring this special phase of their relationship.
“We’re enjoying every day together, learning more about each other, and growing our love,” says Grant, 31, a former professional basketball player.
Grant proposed to Juliana after introducing her and finalist Litia Garr to his family. Though he shared feelings for both, his bond with Juliana proved stronger.
“I want to stand by you in every phase of life, through challenges and happiness,” Grant told Juliana before getting down on one knee.
While marriage remains their ultimate goal, Juliana, 28, shared there’s no rush to plan the wedding just yet.
“We want to enjoy life together for a while, spend time with each other’s families, and let our relationship grow naturally,” Juliana explained. “When the time is right, we’ll plan a beautiful wedding — I’m dreaming of Italy.”

Bachelor Grant Ellis Plans to Move to Boston for Their Future
Bachelor Grant Ellis engagement also means a new chapter is beginning, with Grant preparing to relocate to Boston to be closer to Juliana.
“I really love the connection she has with her town and family,” Grant said. “Although I’ll keep my home in Houston, I’m excited to start building a life together in Boston.”
For now, the couple looks forward to simple joys—cooking together, dining out, and creating memories. “I can’t wait to take him to my favorite restaurant, Olivia’s Bistro, for mushroom tagliatelle and red wine,” Juliana shared.

Family Bonds and Future Plans After The Bachelor Season 29 Finale
Before making their relationship public, the couple prioritized connecting their families. “Our parents have already bonded over calls and FaceTime,” Juliana said.
Grant felt confident about their families meshing well. “Our dads both worked in the car business, and they hit it off immediately,” he shared.
One final hurdle remains: introducing their dogs. Grant recently got a puppy, while Juliana’s dog, Charlie, tends to be reserved.
“We’ll see how they get along—Charlie’s approval means everything,” Juliana laughed.
Despite the playful challenge, the couple is confident in their connection.
“You always make me feel appreciated and loved,” Juliana gushed. “You’re my partner, my hype man, and my best friend.”
Grant echoed the sentiment: “Juliana’s heart and compassion stood out to me. I know she’s going to be an incredible wife, and I’m excited about the future we’re building together.”
