Juliana Pasquarosa Vies for Grant Ellis’ Heart on ‘The Bachelor’ Season 29

NEWTON, Mass. — As the 29th season of *The Bachelor* unfolds, Juliana Pasquarosa, a 28-year-old client service associate from Newton, Massachusetts, has emerged as a standout contestant vying for Grant Ellis‘ heart. The season, which premiered on Jan. 27, 2025, promises drama, romance, and the quest for the coveted final rose.

Juliana, who hails from a large Italian family, is no stranger to love stories. Her parents, high school sweethearts, have been a lasting inspiration for her. “She comes from a big Italian family and aspires to find a lasting love like her parents have,” her bio reads. Family is central to her life, and it was her sister who secretly signed her up for the show. “When your big sis signs you up for #thebachelor and doesn’t tell you… here goes nothing,” Juliana shared on social media.

Juliana’s journey on the show is deeply personal. Her social media features tributes to her late grandmother, Olympia, who passed away at 101. Olympia’s motto, “It’s nice to be nice,” is a recurring theme in Juliana’s life and her new clothing brand, which she teased earlier this year. The brand aims to “radiate positivity and empowerment,” with a mission to “inspire you to navigate the world with love and kindness for all.”

Juliana’s bio on *The Bachelor* highlights her desire to find a partner with a good heart, strong ambition, and a love for family. Grant Ellis, the season’s lead, seems to fit this description. During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Grant emphasized that he’s looking for “somebody who’s kind.” This aligns with Juliana’s values, as kindness is a recurring theme in her life and brand.

Juliana reportedly received the coveted “Pretty Woman” date, a tradition where the Bachelor takes a contestant on a shopping spree followed by a romantic dinner. Historically, the recipient of this date has often gone on to win the season. Reality Steve, a well-known spoiler source, claims that Juliana not only received the final rose but also got engaged to Grant in the Dominican Republic.

However, the journey to the final rose wasn’t without its challenges. In the season finale, Grant appeared to struggle with his decision, prompting host Jesse Palmer to remind him that two women were waiting for his final choice. Despite the tension, Juliana’s kindness and connection with Grant seem to have won out.

As fans eagerly await the finale, Juliana’s story serves as a reminder of the power of kindness and the importance of family. Whether she and Grant’s love story continues beyond the show remains to be seen, but for now, Juliana Pasquarosa has captured the hearts of *The Bachelor* viewers.
