- Juliana Pasquarosa is one of the contestants on Grant Ellis’ season of “The Bachelor.”
- She caught Grant’s attention on night one, but doesn’t go on a one-on-one date until week five.
- Juliana is a 28-year-old client service associate based in Newton, Massachusetts.
As the competition heats up on season 29 of “The Bachelor,” contestant Juliana Pasquarosa is quickly becoming a strong contender for Grant Ellis’ heart.
“It has been so long since I have had a big crush or felt the butterfly feelings for a man. It’s a little bit of a fairytale and my heart’s happy,” Juliana, 28, says during week three.
By week five of the show, Juliana is one of the seven remaining women. After patiently waiting all season, she finally gets to spend solo time with Grant during a one-on-one date in Scotland on Monday night’s episode, and their connection grows even stronger.
Here’s everything to know about Juliana.

She graduated from Lasell College with a degree in marketing in 2018.
Juliana’s family is the most important thing to her

In her intro package during the season premiere, Juliana says, “My family is like the center of my life.”
“We’re big, Italian, loud, crazy,'” she adds. “We really support each other.”
Juliana also explains that she was cheated on a lot during a long relationship, which led her to a “dark place,” but she credited her family with picking her up.
Juliana’s ABC bio says that her parents were high school sweethearts, and she hopes to similarly find lasting love.
Based on the caption of one of her Instagram posts, Juliana’s older sister signed her up for “The Bachelor” without telling her. Given how things are going with Juliana and Grant so far on the show, she may have to thank her sister.
She loves dogs
Juliana has a dog named Charlie and her ABC bio says that she “wants to own a dog-friendly bar one day.”
“For a random $5-Walmart-parking-lot purchase, you sure turned out to be one of the biggest blessings,” Juliana wrote in part on Instagram.
Juliana’s bubbly disposition gets Grant’s attention from the start

After sharing a cannoli with Grant during her limo entrance on night one, Juliana impresses the Bachelor with her piano skills later that evening.
“Juliana immediately has my attention,” Grant says. “She has some skills that I definitely don’t have. Not to mention, she’s gorgeous. She’s a talented woman and I love that.”
Juliana also tells Grant that she’s a bubbly person because of the love she got from her family. Although the competition begins with 25 women, Grant tells her that he has his eyes on her.
“I like your personality and you’re beautiful,” he tells her before they share their first kiss.
Their connection gets overshadowed by some of the drama throughout season 29, but Juliana does eventually get to spend time with Grant at a castle in Scotland.
“I just feel like a princess,” Juliana says. “Cinderella can take a full backseat because this is like, next-level type of love.”
New episodes of season 29 of “The Bachelor” premiere on Mondays.
