Hey, The Bachelor fans! If you caught the Season 29 finale on March 24, 2025, you know it was one for the books. Our smooth-talking 30-year-old day trader from Newark, New Jersey, Grant Ellis, had us all tense as he grappled with the most challenging decision of his life. This wasn’t just another Bachelor finale—it was a rollercoaster of emotions, tough calls, and a proposal that’s still got everyone talking. So, who won The Bachelor 2025? And more importantly, are Grant and Juliana still together? Stick with me as we dive into every juicy detail.
Let’s set the scene: The Bachelor finale 2025 aired on ABC, streamed on Hulu the next day (March 25—yep, that’s today!), and took place in the dreamy Dominican Republic. Grant’s journey was not without challenges—he had been subtly expressing his feelings throughout the season. “I’m still figuring out who my person is,” he expressed, and the weight of that decision was palpable. Host Jesse Palmer even teased the drama, saying, “Both women are on their way here, and I need to know who to send in first.” If that doesn’t evoke a sense of suspense, I’m not sure what does! At TV Acute, we’ve been deeply engrossed in dissecting each twist, and this finale provided ample opportunities for analysis. Whether you’re dying to know who Grant picked on The Bachelor or just love a good love story, you’re in the right spot.
A Finale Full of Tough Choices
Grant’s journey wrapped up with two amazing women: Litia Garr, a 31-year-old venture capitalist from Salt Lake City, Utah, and Juliana Pasquarosa, a 28-year-old client service associate from Newton, Massachusetts. The Bachelor finale had been building up Grant’s struggle all season, and it didn’t disappoint. He admitted, “It’s not normal to head into a proposal still figuring out who your person is.” After dismissing Zoe McGrady from the “Fantasy Suites” episode (apologies to Zoe fans—she simply didn’t spend enough time with him), the decision ultimately came down to Litia and Juliana.
Meet the Final Two
Litia and Juliana both clicked with Grant from the start. Litia, a Mormon, held off on sharing her faith until late in the game, letting him know she didn’t expect him to convert. She even dropped the L-word during “Fantasy Suites”—a huge deal in Bachelor land. Meanwhile, Juliana opened up about her past, sharing her experiences of being cheated on and witnessing someone close to her struggle with addiction. These candid conversations solidified their bond.
Here’s the twist: Grant told Litia he loved her, but then he started overthinking it. “I might’ve jumped the gun saying that,” he told producers. “I’m also falling hard for someone else.” Yep, he was this close to saying it to Juliana too. Talk about a guy caught in the middle!
Family Time and Final Dates
Before the big moment, Grant brought both women to meet his parents, Robert and Renee. This wasn’t just a casual meet-and-greet—things got intense. Grant found Robert’s past with addiction deeply personal, and the divorce of his parents added additional depth to their conversations. Litia won Renee over big time, who gushed, “She’d make a great daughter-in-law.” She also told Robert she was ready to settle down and start a family, scoring major points.
Juliana, though? She kept it real about still sorting out her feelings, which left Renee a bit unsure. But by the end of the visit, both women told Grant they loved him—and he said it back. Cue the chaos!
The final dates didn’t help Grant decide. “I love two women, and I can only pick one,” he said, stressing out as time ran out. He even woke up unsure after thinking he’d settled it the night before. Relatable, right?
The Big Reveal: Who Won The Bachelor 2025?
When it came down to it, Litia’s car pulled up first—a dead giveaway she wasn’t the one. She laid her heart on the line, saying she wanted a future with Grant. His answer? “I’m not your person.” Brutal but honest.
Then Juliana stepped up. Before Grant proposed, she said, “I feel deserving of the love you’ve given me. I want to protect your heart and be there for the good and bad days—just like you’ve done for me.” Grant proposed to her, saying, “You’ve inspired me, kept me laughing, and I truly believe you’re my best friend.” She said yes, and boom—Juliana Pasquarosa became his fiancée!

Are Grant and Juliana Still Together?
During the “After the Final Rose” special, aired live after the Bachelor finale 2025, Grant and Juliana walked out all smiles, holding hands like they’d just won the jackpot. They confirmed they’re still engaged and totally solid. So, yes, Grant and Juliana are still together, and fans can’t stop buzzing about their vibe.
What’s Next for Bachelor Fans?
The conclusion was not the final chapter. Jesse Palmer dropped a huge update: Bachelor in Paradise returns this summer for Season 10 after a two-year hiatus. The exciting part is that Season 10 will feature a mix of Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette stars such as Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston, along with Season 29 favorites like Hakeem Moulton, Jonathon Johnson, and Zoe McGrady. Stay tuned for further updates!
Why This Finale Stands Out
Season 29 was not your typical The Bachelor finale. Grant’s indecision, those raw family moments, and that swoon-worthy proposal made it unforgettable. Whether you rooted for Litia or Juliana, you’ve got to admit Grant had a tough gig. So, who did Grant pick on The Bachelor? Juliana’s rocking the ring, and they’re building their future together.
