The Bachelor star Grant Ellis has announced that he and fiancée Juliana Pasquarosa have called off their engagement, months after he proposed during the season 29 finale.
“This is one of the harder things I’ve had to write, but I want to share it honestly,” Ellis, 31, wrote Friday on his Instagram Story.
“Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship. We both gave this our best and poured a lot of love into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations, we’ve come to the understanding that we’re simply not the right fight long term,” continued the former professional basketball player, who led the latest season of ABC’s hit reality dating series.
“What we had was meaningful. The connection we built on the show was real, and so was the effort we made to continue once the cameras stopped rolling,” he added.
Confirming that “there’s nothing negative. No resentment,” he said, “Just two people who care about each other and want the best for one another moving forward. I’ll always be grateful for what we shared and for the growth that came with it. Thank you to everyone who supported us and believed in our journey. This chapter is closing, but we’re both walking away with love and respect in our hearts.”
Pasquarosa additionally addressed the breakup on her Instagram Story, asking fans to “please be kind.”
