Are Grant And Juliana Still Together After ‘The Bachelor' Finale?
JESSE PALMER, JULIANA, GRANT ELLIS Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Bachelor Season 29 finale. Grant Ellis is engaged! The 31-year-old day trader and former basketball player—who was introduced to Bachelor Nation on Jenn Tran's season of The Bachelorette—got down on one knee during the three-hour finale of The Bachelor. But are he and his fiancée still together today? Going into the finale, Grant had two women left: Juliana Pasquarosa, 28, a client service associate from Newton, Massachusetts, and Litia Garr, 31, a venture capitalist from Salt Lake City, Utah. Both had formed strong connections with him from early on, with Grant even telling Litia he loved her during Fantasy Suites—though he later seemed to second-guess saying that. 'Maybe I should have waited a little longer. To look somebody in the eyes and say that and then see them light up, and then know in the back of your mind that I have other people I feel that for, I don't know,' he admitted in a confessional. 'How do I maneuver through this? Because I do love her, but I also am falling hard, if not very close to in love with someone else.' During Juliana's date earlier in the episode, Grant said he was 'falling in love,' but didn't take his words as far as he did with Litia. The finale took place in the Dominican Republic and kicked off with Grant introducing Litia and Juliana to his parents, Robert and Renee. During her visit, Litia told Renee she knew she loved Grant the moment she saw him interacting with her family. Renee told Litia that she 'would make a great daughter-in-law.' Juliana's visit, however, was met with a bit more caution. She admitted to Renee that she was still unsure whether she truly loved Grant, which seemed to make his mother nervous. After both one-on-one dates, Juliana and Litia each told Grant that they loved him—and he reciprocated their feelings. Unfortunately for Grant, reaching a point where he felt confident choosing just one woman proved harder than he expected. 'I'm hoping today, I get engaged, but I love two women — and I can only choose one,' Grant said ahead of his big decision. 'I went to bed last night thinking I knew what I wanted. But I woke, and I realized I still don't.' JULIANA, GRANT ELLIS In The Bachelor Season 29 finale, Grant proposed to Juliana and she accepted. 'Through this whole journey, you've been someone who has inspired me,' Grant said before popping the question. 'I truly believe that you are somebody who is my best friend and I'm so grateful for our journey. … I'll be there for you as your man, as your friend, as your partner. Juliana, will you marry me?' Juliana answered 'A million times yes!" Before proposing to Juliana, Grant had an emotional goodbye with Litia, telling her that he wasn't the one for her. 'I love you very much. I want to give you everything you deserve, but I'm not your person,' he said. 'I'm sorry that it got to this point. My emotional connection is farther somewhere else.' GRANT ELLIS, JULIANA Yes, Grant and Juliana are still together following their engagement on The Bachelor Season 29 finale. The couple says they're enjoying life in engagement bliss, and Grant is planning to relocate to Boston to be with his fiancée. 'I think that we are taking it one day at a time,' Grant recently told People. 'Right now, we are learning each other and we're falling more in love with each other every day.' While marriage is the end goal, Juliana said there's 'no rush' as they focus on building a life together. 'I just feel like we want to live life together for a minute,' she explained. 'A wedding is a big thing, and there's so many people we have to meet. I want them all to have an opportunity to see [Grant], see us, and just have it make sense to everybody.' Grant continued, 'We're going to live it up. There's going to be wine, there's going to be family, and it's going to be a celebration of life. When the time is right, we're going to handle it and we're going to talk about it, and we're going to have a really fun wedding.' For now, they're focused on soaking it all in as Grant gets ready to move from Texas to Boston to be with her. 'I love the dynamic that her town has and that her family has, and I want to be close to that,' he said, revealing that he will still keep a home base in Texas. 'I'm going to have my house in Houston, but I'm also going to come over there and we're going to make it work.' JESSE PALMER, JULIANA, GRANT ELLIS The next step for the couple is apartment hunting. 'We'll take a peek at some apartments and see what our vibe is like and where we want to be,' added Juliana, who shared her excitement for Grant to join her once she gets 'back on track' with work. Before going public with their relationship, the couple prioritized helping their families 'mesh.' 'They've talked over the phone, over FaceTime,' she said. 'We kind of did that right away when we got home because we wanted them to feel connected too.' Most importantly, after the intense finale, the happy couple is confident they've found the right partner in each other. 'I feel so seen and heard and valued when I'm talking to you or around you, and I think those are the types of qualities that are so important in a relationship, and especially in a marriage,' Juliana said about Grant. 'You always meet me with such compassion and love, and you really are my hype man.' 'I was looking for somebody with compassion and somebody with character, and I found that,' Grant added. 'I have no doubt in my mind that she's an amazing person, that she's going to make an amazing wife, and I'm excited. I think we understand each other to our core.' The Bachelor Season 29 is streaming on Hulu.

The heartfelt proposal capped a season filled with complex emotions, culminating in Grant choosing Juliana over Litia Garr.

Earlier in the season, Grant met Juliana's family and received a warm welcome, including approval from her father. Juliana confided in her sister that she believed Grant was 'her guy.' Despite having formed meaningful connections with other contestants like Zoe McGrady and Litia Garr, Grant followed his instincts. 'I had to try my best to find my person. And I did it,' he told host Jesse Palmer on the live reunion stage. Juliana said the journey felt 'like a fever dream' but that their months of reconnecting had only strengthened their bond. 'I'm just so excited to get dinner with this man and have a glass of wine,' she said.

Bachelor Grant Ellis Insists He Did Not Lead on His Runner-Up Despite Saying I Love You: 'I Led with My Heart' (Exclusive)
The Bachelor Grant Ellis found love during Monday's Bachelor finale, but only one woman received a proposal: Juliana Pasquarosa. As a result, it was venture capitalist Litia Garr who left as the season 29 runner-up. Litia, 31, received an 'I love you' from Grant, 31, during their fantasy suite date in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, but he says his heart ultimately belonged to Juliana, 28. 'That was the hardest thing, but ultimately it was the best thing for Litia,' the former professional basketball player tells PEOPLE in this week's issue in a joint interview with Juliana. 'For me to be in a relationship where somebody may be loving me, but I'm not receiving it the way that I want or the way that I need, it would be unfair to that person.' Related: The Bachelor Season 29 Finale: Read the Full Recap of How Grant Ellis Decided Between Juliana and Litia In the March 24 finale, Litia confessed her feelings for Grant and said she was in love with him. She also told him she saw herself having a family with him one day. But Grant had to break the news that he was going in a different direction, telling her: "I love you very much, I want to give you everything that you deserve but I'm not your person. And I'm sorry that it got to this point. My emotional connection is stronger someone else." Litia said she was "disappointed" by the news and snapped back at Grant: "You're different than I thought." Reflecting on the difficult moment, Grant admits it 'was hard' letting Litia down — and the pressure of doing so led to him 'feeling torn' right up to the very end. 'You meet somebody's family, you spend time with somebody, you hear their story, and then you have to tell them on what's supposed to be the biggest day of their life that they're not your person,' he explains. 'That's what caused me to have a little bit of stress, a little bit of confusion on how to do this.'

'I feel like it would be misleading if I made promises, but I expressed my feelings, which I do every day. I've been in those shoes, so I know where she's coming from and I'll always come from a place of compassion.' 'I definitely cared, and I definitely did have those feelings, but ultimately Juliana is my person,' he says. 'Sometimes the hardest things come out with the best reward.'

Juliana was always aware of Grant's connection with Litia and knew there was a chance she wouldn't be selected. 'I did feel so strong, but I also was aware that there was another girl involved,' she says of the process. 'She must feel as secure as I do to stay in it this long. It was nervousness from my end, but I also just felt so secure that I was like, it's a 50-50 chance here.' Watching the show revealed to the client-services associate that Grant and Litia had an 'undeniable' connection, but that it differed from her own. 'Litia is such an amazing person - I think it just comes down to what type of life you wanted to live afterwards,' Juliana explains. 'I know Litia's timeframe for settling down is different than mine was, but it's comparison-by-circumstance. That doesn't take anything away from me, and I hope that that doesn't take anything away from her.' 'I can understand there being love there for her and love there for me, but I think it's just two different types of love,' she adds.

'When you're The Bachelor, and more extensively when you're the second Black Bachelor ever, there are some extenuating circumstances that play a role.' 'I did what made me happy, not what was going to make anybody else happy, not what was going to make my dad happy or my mom happy, or my sister or my aunt, anybody,' he adds. 'I did what was going to make me happy.' 'You just needed some time to get there,' Juliana chimes in, as Grant confirms he 'just needed some time to get there.'The Bachelor is streaming now on Hulu.
