Grant reflected on the move and what it meant to him, saying:

“With Jules, her family is her lifeline. That’s what makes her her. So to be like, ‘Oh, let’s go here, go here.’ No, we are gonna [go] where it makes her happy and I’m going to adjust because I just want to see her happy,” he said.

Juliana shared that staying close to her family had always been important to her, and Grant had understood this from the beginning. She explained that although they would still be visiting his family in Houston and New Jersey, it made more sense for them to build their life where she felt most at home.

The couple also mentioned they are not rushing into marriage. Instead, they plan to spend more time living together before setting a wedding date.

During The Bachelor show, Grant and Juliana connected over music. Their shared interest carried through into their private “happy couple” weekends arranged by the show. Grant said that they have a piano there.

“People should be expressive however you want. Some people paint, some people drive cars — you just gotta do what you want to do,” he shared.

Juliana added:

“Music is a big thing in my life and it’s a big thing in your life. We played [his song] ‘Party Girls’ a couple times, but then we just went back to our regular everyday music.”

The Bachelor star Grant also reflected on his decision to end things with runner-up Litia Garr. He shared that while he knew what his heart wanted, he had also built a connection with someone else, which made the decision more difficult.

He said that things began to shift for him after the hometown visits. He started to feel some distance and began thinking more seriously about which family he would fit in with, the kind of environment he preferred, and the type of relationship he wanted for the future. Letting Litia go was not easy, according to Grant.

“It’s just working up the courage and strength to have to make a decision after you’ve built such a strong relationship with somebody,” he added.

The Bachelor season 29 episodes are currently streaming on ABC.
