Former Bachelor star Grant Ellis opened up about the challenges of dealing with online comments about his relationship with fiancé Juliana Pasquarosa. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly at the Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event, Grant shared his perspective on the scrutiny they face.
Grant emphasized the importance of leading with love in the face of criticism, stating, “Whatever people have to say, they’re always going to talk. So just lead with love. That’s what me and Jules do really well. So whatever people say, they don’t really know like that.” Grant and Juliana, who got engaged in the season 29 finale of The Bachelor, are planning a destination wedding in Italy, where Juliana has family roots.
The couple is looking forward to a small, intimate wedding with close friends and family, away from the public eye. Grant mentioned that they are taking their relationship day by day and focusing on spending quality time together. While the exact wedding date is still uncertain, Grant hinted at a redo of the proposal closer to the big day.
In addition to wedding planning, Grant is actively involved in supporting the Los Angeles community and his friend JD Slajchert’s philanthropic efforts. The Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event was a platform for Grant to show his support and give back to the community.
Grant and Juliana also have plans to collaborate with JD on raising awareness about addiction, a cause that is close to their hearts. Grant expressed his enthusiasm for future endeavors with JD and the impact they hope to make in the community.
As Grant and Juliana navigate the ups and downs of a public relationship, their commitment to each other and their shared values shine through. Despite the challenges they face, they remain focused on building a strong foundation for their future together. With love as their guiding principle, Grant and Juliana are ready to take on whatever comes their way.
