Love on the Rocks: The Shocking Split of Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa
The world of The Bachelor is buzzing once again with the recent breakup of Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa. Announced on June 13, 2025, their split has taken fans by surprise, but let’s be real—there were plenty of warning signs indicating their relationship was on shaky ground long before the official announcement.
Signs of Trouble Were All Over
For any ardent follower of Bachelor Nation, it was impossible to overlook Grant’s social media silence. Looking at his Instagram, one might wonder if he had temporarily forgotten about his fiancée. Weeks passed without a single post about Juliana—a rare occurrence for newly engaged lovebirds. Their ambitious plans, including a picturesque wedding in Italy and a move to Boston, began to feel more like wishful thinking than a solid plan.
Two Proposals? You’ve Got to Be Kidding!
Adding more fuel to the fire, Juliana dropped a bombshell on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast. She revealed that she wouldn’t feel secure in their engagement without a second proposal—a major red flag if there ever was one. Her insistence hinted at unresolved doubts regarding their commitment.
As the season unfolded, the couple’s emotional connection seemed strained. Grant’s heartfelt feelings for runner-up Litia Garr only accentuated the tension, leading fans to speculate just how torn he truly was. Meanwhile, Juliana’s more reserved demeanor didn’t do much to bridge the emotional divide. Let’s face it: if you’re comparing your connection to other Bachelor couples, things aren’t looking good.
Grant’s Indecision: A Recipe for Heartbreak
During season 29 of The Bachelor, Grant began with a confident flair, effortlessly handing out roses like candy. But as the episodes progressed, his decisiveness waned, and he often sent home his favorites while keeping women he barely noticed. If anything was evident, it was that he was not sure what he was looking for.
Grant’s back-and-forth antics left viewers scratching their heads. If he was seeking a wife, his erratic behavior suggested otherwise.
Social Media Silence Speaks Volumes
Fast forward to the engagement announcement, and it appeared that the couple would tackle life together head-on. Grant planned to relocate to Boston to be closer to Juliana’s supportive family, which seemed like an encouraging sign. Yet, the duo was rarely seen together post-engagement, and Grant had a troubling absence of posts featuring Juliana in the months following their big moment.
In stark contrast to other flourishing Bachelor relationships—like Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson, who are constantly sharing their love online—Juliana and Grant’s public absence felt all sorts of wrong.
The Icing on the Cake
The cherry on top of this rocky relationship was Juliana’s revelation about wanting another proposal. Let’s not kid ourselves; this was far from a usual ask and indicated deeper issues at play. Their whirlwind romance quickly turned more like a slow burn, fizzling out just a few months post-finale.
The Bigger Picture: Is the Bachelor Franchise in Trouble?
With Grant and Juliana’s split, coupled with the recent string of failed Bachelor relationships, questions arise about the longevity of the franchise. High-profile breakups like Jerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s three-month marriage raise eyebrows about the show’s formula.
Yet, hope glimmers in the form of Joey and Kelsey—could they be the couple to redeem the franchise? Their seemingly solid relationship stands in stark contrast to Grant and Juliana’s, proving that maybe, just maybe, love can indeed blossom through the fog of reality TV.
As audiences are left to ponder the future of this beloved franchise, one thing is true: The Bachelor remains a whirlwind of romance, drama, and, inevitably, heartbreak. Stay tuned, folks—because as any reality TV aficionado will tell you, this is just the beginning.
