After capturing hearts on The Bachelor, Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa are taking their romance from reality TV to real life — and it’s proving to be as complicated as it is exciting.
The fan-favorite couple has officially made the move to Boston, where they’re hoping to build a life together outside the spotlight. While their on-screen chemistry was undeniable, the transition to everyday life has come with a few unexpected hurdles.
“It’s not the fairytale every day — but it’s real, and that’s what we want,” Juliana recently shared with followers during a candid Instagram Live.
Grant, who rose to fame as the thoughtful and reserved lead of last season’s Bachelor, found an instant connection with Juliana, a bold, free-spirited influencer with a flair for adventure. Their love story, marked by emotional honesty and undeniable sparks, quickly became one of the most talked-about pairings of the season. Now, several months after the finale, they’re putting their relationship to the ultimate test: living together in a brand-new city.
A New Chapter in Boston
The couple chose Boston as their starting point, citing a mix of opportunity and a desire for a “neutral space” where they could begin fresh — away from the pressures of their hometowns and Bachelor Nation fame.
“We both needed somewhere new to grow together,” Grant told a source close to the couple. “Boston felt like the right mix of energy and calm.”
They’ve already begun settling into their new apartment in Back Bay, sharing sneak peeks of their cozy space, coffee runs, and scenic city strolls on social media. But behind the curated Instagram stories, life hasn’t been all smooth sailing.
Real-Life Challenges After Reality TV
Moving in together has brought its fair share of growing pains. Sources close to the couple say there have been arguments — mostly over communication styles, space, and lifestyle differences.
“They’ve had some tense moments, no doubt,” a mutual friend shared. “They’re both passionate people, which makes for deep love but also some fiery disagreements.”
Fans who followed their romance from the very beginning know that Juliana is outspoken, spontaneous, and emotionally driven, while Grant is more introspective and methodical. It’s a dynamic that made for great television — but in real life, it requires compromise and work.
Still, despite a few early bumps, the couple remains committed to making things work.
“We’re not perfect — we argue, we apologize, we learn,” Juliana said. “But we’re in this together, and that’s what matters.”
Looking Ahead
The pair has hinted at future plans, including career collaborations, charity work, and possibly even a podcast exploring their post-Bachelor journey. For now, though, they’re focusing on building a solid foundation — one filled with honest conversations, quiet nights in, and the occasional tearful disagreement.
As they navigate their new life in Boston, Grant and Juliana are discovering that real love is less about grand gestures and more about showing up — even when things get tough.
Whether they’re strolling through the Public Garden or arguing over where to order takeout, one thing is clear: their story is just beginning.
