'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.

9-1-1 Promotes Two Series Regulars for Season 9 — Here's Everything We Know About the ABC Drama's Return
9-1-1 doesn't officially return for Season 9 until October, but things are already heating up for the 118. Season 8 marked a major turning point for the ABC procedural, with the death of Captain Bobby Nash (played by Peter Krause) thrusting the firehouse into uncharted, uncertain territory. With the pain of his loss still fresh, along with the myriad changes that follow such an unexpected event, fans are eager to see how the 118 will navigate this strange new world in Season 9. More from TVLine Casting News: Will Trent Ups Kevin Daniels to Regular, Strangers With Candy Reunion and More Rena Sofer Is Leaving Los Angeles - But Is Lois Cerullo Also Leaving General Hospital? Casting News: 9-1-1: Nashville Books Kane Brown, Patrick Dempsey's Fox Drama Adds 2 and More Aside from Krause, however, the show's entire roster of series regulars is expected back for Season 9, including Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Oliver Stark as Evan 'Buck' Buckley, Aisha Hinds as Hen Wilson, Kenneth Choi as Chimney Han, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Han, Ryan Guzman as Eddie Diaz and Gavin McHugh as Christopher Diaz. (In fact, that's not all!) So, what new drama awaits those familiar faces? Read on for a complete breakdown of everything we know about 9-1-1 Season 9 so far, then drop a comment with your own hopes for the 118's return this fall. 9-1-1 Promotes Corinne Massiah and Elijah M. Cooper to Series Regulars ABC announced via social media on Aug. 13 that Corinne Massiah (aka May Grant) and Elijah M. Cooper (Harry Grant) have been promoted to series regulars for Season 9. Massiah was previously a series regular for Seasons 2 through 6, while this promotion marks Cooper's first time in the position. Marcanthonee Jon Reis, the actor who portrayed Harry before Cooper took over, was also a series regular for Seasons 2 through 6. When Does 9-1-1 Season 9 Premiere? The Season 9 premiere of 9-1-1 will air Thursday, Oct. 9 at 8/7c on ABC. It will be followed by the series premiere of 9-1-1: Nashville at 9 pm, then the Season 22 premiere of Grey's Anatomy at 10 pm. (The premiere was originally set for Oct. 16, but ABC bumped it up a week.) Where Will 9-1-1 Season 9 Film? Ryan Guzman had 9-1-1 fans concerned in May when he posted a farewell story to Instagram, fueling speculation that Eddie's time on the show was coming to an end. 'Well, it officially happened,' Guzman said. 'It's the last day on this lot. Stage 6, I'll miss ya. Seven years. That's crazy.' But this turned out to be much ado about nothing. Guzman was merely saying goodbye to the Fox lot, where 9-1-1 has filmed since it premiered in 2018; the show is relocating to Burbank for Season 9. Production on the show's ninth season officially began in late July. Season 9 Will Introduce the 118's New Captain Following Bobby's untimely demise, the 118 is in serious need of new leadership. Hen was the logical first choice, but when she turned down the promotion, the fandom's collective attention shifted to Chimney, whose inspiring finale speech all but guaranteed him the gig. Athena Is Moving Out… and On? If you were hoping to spend more time in the home that Bobby and Athena built, you're out of luck. Despite initially balking at the idea, Athena ultimately put the house up for sale in the Season 8 finale, leaving curious fans to wonder where she'll be putting down roots next. And could Athena's major life changes also apply to her career? Only time will tell. Is Chimney Going Blonde in Season 9? Sadly, no. While some of the actors' hiatus looks have made their way onto the screen (remember when Eddie got that sick mustache, courtesy of Ryan Guzman?), Kenneth Choi's blonde hair won't be one of them. He posted an Instagram video on July 23, revealing that he's reverted back to classic Chimney mode.

Will the Oscars Leave ABC? Why the Hulu-Disney+ Merger Could Prevent a Split and Benefit Both Sides
Disney's planned 2026 integration of Hulu into Disney+ could represent more than streaming consolidation — it creates unprecedented opportunities for both Disney and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences to reshape awards broadcasting for the streaming era. As the Academy's current ABC deal approaches its 2028 expiration, Disney's unified platform offers global reach while the Academy Awards provides Disney with a big launch platform and the prestige of hosting one of the year's biggest events in entertainment. More from Variety Rachel Bloom and Husband Dan Gregor Set Rom-Com Pilot 'Do You Want Kids?' at ABC Oscars Set Launch Date for First FYC Screeners: 'KPop Demon Hunters,' 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' and More (EXCLUSIVE) Czech Oscar Submission Controversy Heats Up as Abuse Drama 'Broken Voices' Accused of 'Fundamental Ethical Failure' and 'Misleading Claims' Disney's recent acquisition of Comcast's last remaining equity interest in Hulu paves the way for Disney and the Academy to come up with creative ways to showcase the Oscars via streaming. The last deal between the sides was set in 2016 — well before the launch of Disney+ and the rest of the streaming explosion. 'If the Oscars stay at ABC, it represents the best of both worlds,' a veteran awards strategist tells Variety. 'Disney aligns with cinema's most prestigious institution, while the Academy gains wider streaming reach.' The March 2025 dual-platform experiment — broadcast on ABC, streamed on Hulu — delivered promising results. The Oscars attracted 19.7 million viewers, a rare 1% increase that bucked years of audience decline. The experiment gave Disney valuable live-streaming data while the Academy reached expanded its reach beyond linear to streaming viewers who want more flexibility in options for watching even a live awards show event. The Academy's broader initiatives — education, philanthropy and the Academy Museum — align with Disney's content ecosystem spanning ABC Signature, 20th Television, FX and streaming services. This also opens doors to year-round Academy programming such as documentaries, behind-the-scenes features and Disney+ exclusive educational content. A long-term and wide-ranging agreement could create yield experimentation opportunities such as interactive Oscar experiences, international filmmaker showcases and member-exclusive content. However, the $100 million question remains: How are talks progressing between the two parties? Both sides have remained tight-lipped. Sources with direct knowledge tell Variety negotiations are 'going well and moving along.' Early speculation indicated that Disney chief Bob Iger wanted to wait on the deal until the Mouse House has set his successor as CEO, which is expected to come early next year. But Academy leaders don't want to wait that long. Both ABC and the Academy declined to comment. Industry insiders predict clarity on ABC and the Oscars' future by year's end. Newly appointed AMPAS President Lynette Howell Taylor, an Oscar-nominated producer for Bradley Cooper's directorial debut 'A Star is Born,' brings deep industry ties from producing the 92nd Academy Awards — the 'Parasite' year. Although she can only serve a one-year term due to board term limits, she would be allowed to return after a two-year hiatus. She would be a valuable asset to bring this over the finish line. Disney's technological infrastructure offers capabilities beyond traditional broadcasters — second-screen experiences, real-time engagement and global distribution. For the Academy, the priority remains reaching younger, more diverse audiences critical for long-term relevance. But sources caution that other media platforms have expressed strong interest to AMPAS in having discussions about Oscars. Despite its long relationship with AMPAS, Disney will have to make them a compelling offer or risk being out-bid by a rival. As negotiations advance, the potential for a continued partnership for the Oscars and Disney — or if a new player will jump into the mix — will be one of the most pressing questions for filmdom insiders in the coming months. Which partner will help define how global audiences engage with prestige movies while preserving the artistic excellence both institutions represent? Only time will tell.
