<p id=”par-1_78″>Juliana Pasquarosa and Grant Ellis’ breakup was hardly unexpected. <em>The Bachelor</em> fans suspected the duo wouldn’t be making it far after the show before the series even ended. As it turned out, they were absolutely right. While the former flames have been pretty civil<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/its-another-bachelor-nation-breakup-grant-and-juliana-call-it-quits.html/”> about the breakup </a>and incredibly secretive about what caused it, Pasquarosa is opening up about what really went wrong, and how Litia Garr, Ellis’ other choice, played into their decision to call it quits.</p>

<p id=”par-2_70″>The end of Juliana Pasqaurosa and Grant Ellis’ engagement wasn’t exactly shocking. Ellis choosing Pasqaurosa over Litia Garr in the season finale was actually the shocking part. Ellis paid little attention to Pasquarosa for almost the entire show, while paying special attention to Garr. Pasquarosa just opened up about what really went wrong. She even delved into how much Garr influenced the split during an appearance on <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9orkEVNa9s”>Bachelor Happy Hour.</a></p>

<p id=”par-3_82″>During the chat, Pasquarosa claimed that the end of her romance with Ellis was hastened by Litia Garr’s <em>After the Final Rose</em> admission. During the iconic reunion, Garr revealed that Ellis had told her he was ready to “stop the show” to be with her. Pasquarosa said that while the admission stung, Ellis’ reaction to it was a bigger red flag. She revealed that he took no accountability. Pasquarosa admitted that Garr’s comments caused tension and that some words were exchanged afterward.</p>
<p id=”par-4_86″>Following a squabble over Garr’s revelation, Pasquarosa awoke to find Ellis “game-planning” different ways they could announce their split. Pasquarosa insists she wasn’t set on splitting at that moment, but clearly she knew the romance was over. She also went on to discuss Garr’s behavior towards her. She admitted their relationship was also “complicated,” noting that she wasn’t thrilled with the way Garr acted toward her after Ellis picked her. Pasquarosa called Garr’s insinuation that she slept with Ellis <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/the-bachelor-engagement-rings-cost-rules-everything-to-know.html/”>to secure an engagement ring </a>“ugly.” </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-why-did-grant-pick-juliana”>Why did Grant pick Juliana?</h2>
<p id=”par-5_97″>While fans and Litia Garr were shocked that Grant Ellis opted to move forward with Juliana Pasquarosa instead of Garr, he still insists he had his reasons. Grant was undecided until the final moments of his season. Still, he later insisted that he felt more at ease with Juliana than with Litia. He went on to claim that Garr was too emotionally guarded. Ellis said he felt that Pasquarosa was more prepared to build a life together than Garr was. Garr later admitted that she was standoffish and withheld her feelings more than she should have.</p>

3 of Grant Ellis’ Biggest ‘Bachelor’ Missteps </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-6_48″>Fans of the series have long suspected that Litia Garr not sharing her religious beliefs with Ellis earlier may have played a role in his decision. She withheld <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/the-bachelor-litia-garr-grant-ellis-fantasy-suite-date.html/”>information about her faith</a> until Ellis traveled to meet her family. The last-minute reveal seemed to throw Ellis off balance.</p>
<p id=”par-7_41″>In the end, Grant’s season seemed to have a lot of promise early on, but it never delivered. It ended up being one of the least interesting seasons in recent history. The drama seems to have all occurred after the fact.</p>
