Juliana Pasquarosa leaned on some familiar Bachelor Nation faces — Kelsey Anderson and Daisy Kent — following her engagement to Bachelor Grant Ellis.
“I think they were just really insightful, especially Kelsey because she had to rewatch everything,” Juliana, 28, said on the Tuesday, March 25, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “Even though it’s, like, months away, you know, it still brings up questions and conversations that you have to have.”
Fans of Bachelor Nation will remember in The Bachelor season 28 finale when Daisy, 26, and Kelsey, also 26, arrived at the proposal together. Daisy walked away before Joey Graziadei got down on one knee and popped the question to Kelsey.
“But [Kelsey] really reiterated the fact that it’s been so long since that happened, and you like, we’ve come so far that it’s not really worth, like, harping on,” Juliana — who said Grant is listed in her phone as a wolf emoji — explained. “You can ask the questions and have the conversations, but it shouldn’t really change your mind because we’re together now.”

In the Monday, March 24, season 29 finale of The Bachelor, Grant, 31, sent runner-up Litia Garr packing before proposing to Juliana.
“I truly believe that you are somebody who is my best friend and I’m so grateful for our journey,” Grant told Juliana. “When you’re going through the toughest times in your life, I want you to know you don’t have to go through it alone. I’ll be there for you as your man, as your friend and as your partner.”
Before the proposal, Grant dropped the L-bomb to both Juliana and Litia — who also said “I love you” back to him. Litia, who appeared shocked by Grant’s decision to send her home, claimed during the live portion of the episode that he said he could “stop the show” early since he knew she was his person. Grant apologized during the episode and said he had no regrets about telling Litia how he felt.

In the aftermath of his season, Grant sought out advice from former Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos, and her fiancé, Chock Chapple. (Joan, 62, accepted a proposal from Chock, 61, in the season 1 finale, which aired in 2024.)
“They’ve been really instrumental for me in this process and us, and they just [said] be yourself and don’t worry about anybody else. It’s your love story and focusing on that,” Grant recalled on Tuesday. “The people that are gonna rock with you are going to rock with you, the people that are not are not. I think that was the main advice, and I think that’s something that we’re taking.”
