Grant Ellis & Fiancée Juliana Reveal If They’re Actually Dating After The Bachelor Finale Amid Signs Producers Made A Mistake Choosing Him As The Lead

The Bachelor season 29's Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa got engaged during the finale, and they've now gone on their first dinner date in real life after the show. During The Bachelor season 29 finale, Grant proposed to Juliana, after being extremely torn between her and runner-up Litia Garr. His indecisiveness seemed to be a sign that the producers made a mistake when they cast Grant in the leading role, but he found his happily-ever-after in the end.

The Bachelor season 29's Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa got engaged during the finale, and they went on their first dinner date in real life after the show.

According to Monsters & Critics, Grant posted an Instagram Story which revealed that he and Juliana had gone on their first post-Bachelor dinner date at Ca Del Sole Restaurant in Los Angeles, California. He shared a photograph in which he had his arms around Juliana while they posed for a picture at their table. Both Grant and Juliana had big smiles on their faces in the photo.

What Grant & Juliana’s Date Means For Relationship After The Bachelor

Grant & Juliana's Relationship Is Still In The Public Eye

After The Bachelor season 29, it'll be important for Grant and Juliana to experience their relationship in the real world after the fantasy of the show, and then having to hide it for months while the episodes aired. Their first dinner date could've been a private moment, but Grant chose to post about it, continuing to make their relationship public. However, it must be important to him to prove to viewers that he and Juliana are happy, especially after he appeared to be so torn between her and Litia up until the very last moments before he proposed.

Our Take on Grant & Juliana Going On A Date After Bachelor Finale

Grant & Juliana Are Still Getting To Know Each Other

Due to the incredibly fast timeline of The Bachelor, Grant and Juliana are still getting to know each other, even though they're engaged. Some Bachelor Nation couples have described the experience as dating in reverse, beginning with an engagement, and then slowing things down as they navigate their relationship outside of the bubble of the show. It's beautiful to see that Grant and Juliana are still happy and in love after the finale, and that they're now able to come out of hiding and bring their relationship into the real world.
