The Bachelor Season 29 Contestant Juliana Pasquarosa’s Family Guide

Juliana Pasquarosa is inspired by her parents as she hopes to find love with Grant Ellis on season 29 of The Bachelor.

“She comes from a big Italian family and aspires to find a lasting love like her parents have — they were high school sweethearts,” Juliana’s ABC bio reads. “Juliana hopes to meet a man who has a good heart, strong ambition, and loves to hang out with family.”

Juliana opened up about her childhood dynamics during a one-on-one with Grant.

“Growing up, I was put in a difficult situation where somebody really close to me had a problem with addiction and it took the time away from me as a small kid, from growing up in this loving family that I so graciously am appreciate of today, I didn’t really have that back then,” she said. “I think for a while in my life I was alone. I didn’t know how to cope with negativity and emotions of anger and confusion and I was kind of just between the thought of not wanting to add more onto the plate of my family versus being nervous, because I didn’t know how to verbalize it.”
