The Bachelor curse strikes again as another winning couple have broken up.

The winning couple of season 29 of The Bachelor, Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa, have called it quits. 

Nearly three months the season finale aired, the pair announced that they have decided to split and ended their engagement. 

‘This is one of the harder things I’ve had to write, but I want to share it honestly,’ Ellis wrote on his Instagram Story as he shared the news. 

This comes after he made history on the franchise series and also received backlash, being dubbed the ‘worst Bachelor ever,’ for how he behaved in the finale episode.

‘Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship,’ he shared in his post announcing the end of their relationship.

Nearly three months the season finale aired, the pair announced that they have decided to split and ended their engagement

‘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.’ 

He reassured fans that their connection was ‘real’ but explained that they decided to separate because they are ‘not the right fit’ for each other. 

He also wrote that they ended on good terms without ‘negativity’ nor ‘resentment.’ 

‘What we had was meaningful. The connection on the show was real, and so was the effort we made to continue once the cameras stopped rolling,’ he wrote. 

‘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.’ 

He concluded his post and wrote: ‘Thank you to everyone who supported us and believed in our journey. This chapter is closing, but we’re both walking away with love and respect in our hearts.’ 

Pasquarosa also shared the news in her own words on her Instagram Story. 

Alongside a photo of them on The Bachelor, Pasquarosa gushed about their time together.

‘It’s a gift to find someone who sees the world in a way that resonates with you, while also encouraging you to grow. I’ve been grateful to share that experience with Grant.’ 

She then addressed the end of their engagement. ‘Marriage is a commitment, and it’s one we both still believe in deeply. 

‘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,’ she continued.

‘We shared something meaningful, navigating a unique journey side by side, learning, growing, and showing up for each other the best we knew how. 

‘And while this isn’t the ending we once imagined, it’s one filled with mutual respect, care, and hope for what’s ahead,’ she added.

She concluded: ‘We’re still cheering each other on, just from different places now. I’m beyond thankful for all the love and support you all have given us. Please be kind.’ 

Just last month, Pasquarosa made an appearance on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast and spoke about wedding planning without any seeming indication that their relationship was in on the rocks 

Just last month, Pasquarosa made an appearance on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast and spoke about wedding planning without any seeming indication that their relationship was in on the rocks. 

She said on the podcast that she was excited to start shopping for her dream wedding dress and spoke about how she wanted to get married in Italy. 

During the season finale in March 2025, many fans thought Grant would end up alone after spotting awkward body language during the Women Tell All Episode two weeks prior.

However, during the finale he couldn’t decide between the two women left – Juliana and Litia.

Litia had said that Grant had been telling her all along she was the one he wanted – even kissing her a few times before he broke the news to her that he was sending her home and choosing Juliana.

When Grant asked if she felt he had been misleading her, ‘she said, ‘The things you’ve said to me all along the way make this decision that you’ve made so much more devastating. For me, the switchup is crazy.’

While Grant insisted, ‘I didn’t switch up,’ he ultimately took responsibility for that adding it came down to the ‘final day and I had to make a decision.’ 

Juliana and Grant’s breakup comes just days on the heels of another franchise split. 

Earlier this week, it was revealed that The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran, who appeared on season 21 of the series, had called it quits with Dancing with the Stars pro Sasha Farber.
