After getting a second chance at love by landing the lead as The Bachelor, Grant Ellis was hoping to find his forever partner. Inside whether or not he proposed and got engaged to his final rose recipient.
Warning! Spoilers ahead.
Does Grant Ellis Get Engaged on ‘The Bachelor’?
Yes, Grant popped the question, according to renowned show spoiler Reality Steve (full name: Steve Carbone). He reported that Grant got engaged to his final rose recipient, Juliana Pasquarosa, after beating out Litia Garr in the finale that was filmed in the Dominican Republic.
Steve prefaced the engagement news he broke on January 21, 2025, that, “All I can do is relay what I was told. Based on where I got it from, their knowledge of the situation, and other factors, I have no reason to doubt the spoiler.”
He hadn’t received any details about how the final rose ceremony went down at the time the report was published.
Steve also noted, “Every season there will be rumblings about ‘Oh it’s this person,’ ‘Oh they’ve already broken up.’ And yes, we’ve had plenty of times where the spoiler changed from the time filming ended until the night of the After the Final Rose.”
That happened to Bachelorette Jenn Tran, who got engaged to Devin Strader on the finale of season 21. Two months after his romantic proposal in Hawaii, Devin dumped Jenn over a phone call prior to After the Final Rose. The split was revealed on the live telecast following the season 21 finale in September 2024.
Grant Ellis Had a Difficult Decision Ahead of ‘The Bachelor’ Finale
In the teaser trailer that dropped in November 2024, host Jesse Palmer was shown having an intense conversation with Grant ahead of his final rose ceremony.
“You feel like you know what you want to do?” Jesse asked Grant, who replied, “The truth is … I don’t know.” The host told the day trader, “We got both women. They’re here on standby. And of course, I have to know which one to send first,” as Grant emotionally shook his head and looked downward.
“I don’t know if you could tell from watching that from my reaction, [but] I was surprised. That was something that I haven’t encountered yet as the host in the last four years on any of the franchises,” Jesse told Us Weekly on January 21, 2025. “Normally, I think, our leads have a little bit more clarity — a lot more clarity — heading into the final day. And I really think that’s how conflicted Grant really was.”
The former NFL player called Grant’s contestants “remarkable” women, which made his final decision a challenging one.
“They’re phenomenal every year for whoever our lead is [and] making that decision on the final day is always a very, very difficult decision, but I can appreciate some of why Grant was so conflicted. I’ll just say that,” Jesse explained. “But absolutely without giving away too much, that was authentic and it’s real and it’s not an edit.”
The host hinted that Grant’s dream of finding love came true, saying the reality star was “very, very happy with how things ended.”
Who Is ‘The Bachelor’ Finalist Juliana Pasquarosa?
The client service associate from Newton, Massachusetts, describes herself as a “bubbly, outgoing woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind and go after what her heart wants,” in her ABC profile. Juliana comes from a “big Italian family” and wants to find the kind of lasting love that her parents — who were high school sweethearts — share.
