In an Instagram story,Grantannounced his and Juliana’s breakup. He shared a picture from their engagement photoshoot, and wrote,“This is one of the harder things I’ve had to write, but I want to share it honestly. Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship. 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.”
Grant continued,“What we had was meaningful. 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.”
Grant concluded by saying,“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.”

What Grant & Juliana’s Breakup Means For Bachelor Franchise
The Bachelor Now Has Only Three Successful Relationships
AlthoughThe BacheloretteandBachelor in Paradisehave led to many successful marriages and relationships,currently only three out of the 29Bachelorcouples are still together. Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar got married on August 11, 2025, while Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici have been married for ten years and have three children. In addition,Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are still engaged.
Grant and Juliana’s breakup is yet another example of how getting engaged in such a short timeline duringThe Bacheloris usually a big mistakeand leads to the couples splitting shortly after the show. While the couples get swept up in the whirlwind romances during the show, when they enter the real world, it’s much harder for their relationships to survive, especially because they barely know each other.The Bachelorhasn’t been renewed by ABC yet, and Grant and Juliana’s breakup could mean that it won’t be.
Our Take On Grant & Juliana’s Breakup
Grant & Juliana Did The Right Thing
Although it’s always sad to see a couple break up, I think thatGrant and Juliana did the right thing by ending their engagement sooner rather than later. They seem to still have a lot of love and respect for each other, so it’s better that they parted ways now before resentment and anger built up. They’re both kind people with good intentions, so it’s disappointing that they couldn’t make their relationship work in the real world.
I can’t say that I’m surprised to see that Grant and Juliana broke up.Grant was so conflicted between Juliana and Litia during theBachelorseason 29finale that it was hard to believe that he was all-in with his engagement. I’m not saying that he didn’t love Juliana, because I believe that he really did. However, I feel thathe wasn’t ready to get engaged, and he might’ve proposed due to the pressures of the show. I wish Grant and Juliana all the best as they move on to the next chapters of their lives.
