The Bachelor: Grant Ellis and Fiancée Juliana Split Up After 3 Months

Another Bachelor coupling has ended in heartbreak: Grant Ellis, the most recent star of ABC‘s dating series, has announced he and his fiancée Juliana Pasquarosa have split up.

The news comes less than three months after the finale of Grant’s season, which aired in March and saw Grant choose Juliana over runner-up Litia — after much deliberation — and propose to her, with Juliana happily accepting. (For more, check out our full finale recap here.)

“Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship,” Grant revealed on Instagram. “We both gave this our best and poured a lot of love into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations, we’ve come to the understanding that we’re simply not the right fit long term.”

“What we had was meaningful,” he insisted. “The connection we built on the show was real, and so was the effort we made to continue once the cameras stopped rolling. There’s no negativity here. No resentment. Just two people who care about each other and want the best for one another moving forward. I’ll always be grateful for what we shared and for the growth that came with it.”

Juliana confirmed the split on her Instagram: “After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we’ve come to the decision that this chapter of our lives is meant to continue on separate paths… We’re still cheering each other on, just from different places now.”

In better Bachelor Nation news, though, Season 27 star Zach Shallcross and the recipient of his final rose, Kaity Biggar, got married last month in a private (i.e., not televised) ceremony in Texas, becoming just the second Bachelor final couple to actually tie the knot. (Yes, you read that right.) We’ve added that marriage and Grant and Juliana’s breakup to our ongoing list of all Bachelor relationships; click here or below to get the latest news on all of them.
