‘Bachelor’ Grant Ellis Talks ‘DWTS’ Season 34 & His Fiancée Weighs In
Grant Ellis‘ journey on The Bachelor has officially come to an end, but is Dancing With the Stars the next ABC show in his future? Swooon caught up with the Season 29 lead and his fiancée, Juliana Pasquarosa, to find out their thoughts on him competing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
With Joey Graziadei becoming the first Bachelor to win the show in Season 33, Ellis would certainly have some big shoes to fill if he joined the show later this year, and Pasquarosa weighed in about how she thinks he’d do.
“He’s a good dancer!” she insisted. “Yeah [he has the moves]. I do not have the moves, so at least one of us does.”
Meanwhile, Ellis confirmed that he’d be interested in a spot on the show. “If it’s something that’s offered to me, then it’s something I’ll do,” he said. “If it’s not, I’m not going to be offended. But I would like to, you know?”
After keeping their love private for months, Ellis and Pasquarosa are finally able to be public with their relationship following The Bachelor finale on Monday, March 24. In the interim, they’ve been talking “constantly,” Ellis said.
“Communication, we keep that open and that’s really key in our relationship,” he explained. “And happy couple [weekends] definitely don’t hurt.” The two had to be holed up during the private weekend getaways, but Pasquarosa said they liked having their own “little at-home” date nights.
“We found ways to make it fun and just try and find some normalcy with it,” she added.
While the lovebirds have said they’re in no rush to walk down the aisle, they assured that “marriage is the goal.” Next up, though, they’ll be moving to Boston together to be near Pasquarosa’s family.
“I think that’s going to happen a lot sooner than later,” Ellis teased. Of course, if a DWTS run happens, they’ll have to spend some time in Los Angeles next fall, too!
