Fans had eyes on Grant Ellis’ entire family on The Bachelor finale.

During the live portion of Monday, March 24, episode of the ABC series, Grant, 31, was joined by Juliana Pasquarosa after fans watched their proposal. At one point during their interview with host Jesse Palmer, the cameras cut to the crowd and showed Grant’s parents and sister, Taylor.

“Grant’s sister is fuming. She definitely wanted him to choose Litia 🤣🤣🤣 #TheBachelorFinale #TheBachelor,” one fan tweeted alongside a screenshot. Another posted a similar image and wrote, “Grant’s sister isn’t feeling Grant’s decision.” A third wrote, “Grants Sister is giving Barb Webber a run for her money with that scowl on her face.. #TheBachelor.”

“They have a great relationship. Sometimes I have to tell my sister, like, ‘Dude, fix your face,’” he joked. “Like, that’s just her. She has this mentality where she’s a boss, I guess. I don’t know what that is, but that’s my sister and she loves Juliana very much. The internet is gonna create a narrative and run with what they want.”

He added, “We know what we have internally, and that’s what we have to go with.”

Those who tuned in watched Grant appear very torn between Juliana, 28, and Litia, 31. When he ended things with Litia on the final day, she claimed he had all but guaranteed that she was the person he was going to propose to. While Litia didn’t hold back when confronting Grant, he had no interest in going back and forth with her.

“There’s a lot [she said] that I didn’t align with,” he told Us of Liita’s various examples of how he allegedly led her on. “But I let her speak her truth and her piece. I’m not gonna sit up there and argue with her on stage about what she thought I said. … I’m not gonna argue, I just have to accept whatever the conditions are and apologize and let her feel how she feels because she’s in a tough situation and she’s hurt. I understand.”

Juliana, for her part, told Us that she and Litia “are two different individuals and we have to go through this process very uniquely and very true to who we are.” She concluded: “And I wish her well.”

The twosome also spoke about how hometowns changed their relationship.

“The small conversations that we had leading up to Scotland, I really got a good foundation of who you were as a person. Then in Scotland, it allowed me to peel back some layers that I’ve built up. That really was an eye-opening night and date for us,” Juliana said. “But it was after he met my family — just seeing him with my people and how comfortable you felt — that was important to me. And how accepting they were of what we were really trying to do, which is just choose each other. That was all the reassurance that I needed.”

Grant agreed that meeting her family changed things.

“I started to develop that distance a little bit after hometowns and put together whose family I would fit with more, the environment that I wanted, the vibe that I wanted and the relationship that I wanted. And then from there, 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 and then you have to let ’em down.”
