For former Bachelor Grant Ellis, navigating online comments about his relationship with fiancé Juliana Pasquarosa can be “tough.”
“Whatever people have to say, they’re always going to talk. So just lead with love,” Grant, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Wednesday, May 21, Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event. “That’s what me and Jules do really well. So whatever people say, they don’t really know like that.”
Grant gushed that he’s been enjoying “really settling in” the relationship with Juliana, who he got engaged to in the season 29 finale of The Bachelor. The pair are eyeing a destination wedding in Italy, where Juliana has family roots.
“We were in DR on my season, so we’re going to do something for Jules and be in Italy,” he said, noting that their special day will include “really close” friends and family. “We’ve been through a lot with the show and the public opinion, so I think the people that know us and love us, we’re going to have a nice close wedding. It’s definitely going to be extravagant, but it’s going to be just family and friends, people that know us and love us.”
While Grant popped the question, the pair have plans to redo the proposal closer to their wedding day. As for when that wedding could actually be, Grant did not have an answer for Us.
“We’ve been taking our relationship just day by day, honestly. She is a person that has a lot of support with family and friends. She’s spending a lot of time with them and with me,” he explained. “We’re just now getting into taking things slow, moving together now.”
As he gears up for wedding planning with Juliana, Grant showed up to support the Los Angeles community and pal JD Slajchert — who he also noted as someone who leads with love — at the Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event.
“I think showing support for LA and showing support for the community is big, and to have somebody spearhead an event like this and kind of show me what LA is about,” he noted. “I’m from Houston. So it is been really important to do that and to give back. And that’s what this is all about and that’s what JD is all about. So it’s a really big thing for me.”
Grant explained that the couple have plans to team up with JD to raise awareness about addiction, which is something near and dear to their heart.
“We’ve both been through that and with JD’s help and his philanthropy, we’re going to do a lot,” he said. “So this is the first of many endeavors that we’re going to go on. Look forward to it.”

Professional boxer Georgia O’Connorhas died at age 25, just months after doctors diagnosed her with cancer and two weeks after she married her longtime boyfriend.
Pro boxing promoter Boxxer confirmed her death in a statement to The Guardian on Thursday, May 22.
“We are heartbroken by the passing of Georgia O’Connor,” the statement read. “A true warrior inside and outside the ring, the boxing community has lost a talented, courageous and determined young woman far too soon.”
“Georgia was loved, respected and admired by her friends here at Boxxer,” the statement continued. “Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this difficult time.”
O’Connor announced via Instagram on May 12 that she and boyfriend Adriano Cardinali had gotten married, writing, “09.05.2025.The day I married the love of my life. .” She wrote the caption alongside a photo of the couples’ hands with rings fully in view.
In January, O’Connor revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer after she claims doctors ignored her symptoms, including debilitating pain, for months.
“For 17 weeks since the start of October, I’ve been in constant pain, going back and forth between Durham and Newcastle RVI A&E knowing deep down something was seriously wrong,” O’Connor wrote via Instagram on January 31. “I said from the start I felt it was cancer. I KNEW the risks. I have colitis and PSC, two diseases that dramatically increase the chances of getting it. I KNOW how high my risk is and they do too. They always did.”
She continued, “But not one doctor f***ing listened to me. Not one doctor took me seriously. Not one doctor did the scans or blood tests I begged for whilst crying on the floor in agony. Instead, they dismissed me. They gaslit me, told me it was nothing, made me feel like I was overreacting. They refused to scan me. They refused to investigate. They REFUSED to listen. One even told me that it’s ‘all in my head.’ And now? Now the cancer has spread.”
One month after revealing her diagnosis, she confirmed via Instagram that her cancer was “incurable.” She also told her followers in February that she had suffered a miscarriage.
O’Connor was undefeated in her boxing career since turning pro in 2021. As an amateur, she was a gold medalist at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games, won the silver at the same year’s Youth World Championships and took home bronze the next year.
“My heart goes out to Georgia’s parents and partner, who I know did everything they could tirelessly and are going through so much right now,” Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom wrote via X.
O’Connor had not fought professionally since 2022, revealing in February 2023 that she was suffering from ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that results in ulcers in the colon.
A source exclusively told Us Weekly that David, 50, and Victoria, 51, “feel betrayed” about the current state of things, which came to a head when Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, skipped David’s 50th birthday party in London earlier this month.
At the crux of the estrangement is “very deep tension rooted in control and different plans for Brooklyn’s future.”
“Nicola comes from a powerful family,” the source explained. “David and Victoria are used to being in control [of situations like this] and there has been a shift.”
The actress’ father, Nelson Peltz, is a billionaire American businessman who cofounded Trian Partners, a hedge fund management firm. Nicola’s mother, Claudia Heffner, is a former fashion model. The couple got married in 1985 and have 8 children.
“Friends and people around them see a long road to mending this,” the source explained. “But there is a desire to mend on David and Victoria’s part.”
In spite of the current friction with his parents, a second source said that Brooklyn and Nicola, who got married in April 2022, are stronger than ever.
“Nicola and Brooklyn are incredibly happy together, dedicated to building a marriage based on unconditional love, caring, support and family,” the insider said. “It seems this exposure to a healthy relationship has made Brooklyn question his own family and upbringing.”
The source explained how Brooklyn’s reluctance to attend David’s birthday party — which centered around Brooklyn’s dislike of his younger brother Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull — was really just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
“After recent years of attempting to set boundaries with his family and encourage honest and positive change in their relationship to no avail, he’s become discouraged and disheartened,” the source said.
Nicola has “tried to have a close and positive relationship with David and Victoria,” the source said, but recent developments have forced that to “come to an end.”
The insider added, “Nicola and Brooklyn have a mutual desire for Brooklyn to explore his interests and grow as a person. That is what is causing the family rift.”
Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and Janelle Brown are no longer married but after the death of their son Garrison, they have been united in their grief.
“Janelle and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Kody wrote in a joint Instagram statement with Janelle in March 2024. “He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. Our loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”
The former couple’s statement came shortly after Us Weekly confirmed Garrison died by suicide at the age of 25. (Kody and Janelle, who split in 2022, share six children including Garrison.)
Since Garrison’s passing, Janelle has been vocal on social media about her ups and downs with grief. Kody, meanwhile, expressed his heartbreak on several episodes of Sister Wives, season 19 of which documented the family’s initial reactions and eventual burying of Garrison.

Coming Out of the Fog
“It’s been hard to get my brain to work properly again,” Janelle explained via Instagram in March 2024, sharing photos from Garrison’s celebration of life. “I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support I’ve received these last three weeks. The support has been overwhelming. I am honored.”
Heavenly Birthday
“Happy Birthday Sweetheart,” Janelle captioned an Instagram post in April 2024 on what would have been her son’s 26th birthday. “We are missing you terribly today. It’s hard to believe you aren’t here anymore.”
She shared, “We talked a lot about you today and even went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (your favorite place ) I still feel you nearby sometimes. And I’m grateful we will see each other again when my journey is completed.”

Mother’s Day Memories
Janelle revealed in May 2024 that she “felt the grief so close to the surface” while celebrating her first Mother’s Day without Garrison. “It was especially poignant when I made this simple pie,” she wrote via social media. “Our strawberry picking excursion combined with the fact that I randomly found rhubarb at the local farmers market made it feel like this pie was destined.”
Janelle continued: “Maybe no one loved it more than Garrison. And that made this pie a little bittersweet. I love you honey and miss you every day.”
Getting Through It
“Every day is a day,” Janelle exclusively told Us at the Us Weekly + Pluto TV Reality Stars of the Year Party at the Dream Hotel in October 2024. “You just take it one day at a time, one moment at a time.”
She explained, “I just think you do what you can to support mental health, especially men’s mental health. And we just continued to try to honor him and remember him.”
Janelle mourned her son in March 2025 on the anniversary of his death, revealing via Instagram, “I stay busy but in EVERY quiet moment you are first and foremost in my thoughts. It’s been a year baby. We miss you so much. I miss you so much.”
Gone Too Soon
Sister Wives documented the family’s reaction to Garrison’s death during a May 2025 episode, including Kody’s response to the news. “Grief comes in waves. It just wasn’t supposed to be this way. You know what I’m saying?” Kody said during the May 4 episode. “It’s just heartbreaking.”
He confessed, “I didn’t get a chance to really just make things right, just not being able to say goodbye.”
After butting heads with Garrison prior to his death over his COVID-19 rules, Kody confessed, “It’s, like, I’ve got to do something different because I could have had more time with him, and I thought there would be more time. Everybody thinks they got more time.”
Kody broke down to wife Robyn Brown, asking, “How am I going to do this? How do I do the rest of my life with every holiday and every birthday?”

Last Conversation
During the same May 2025 Sister Wives episode, Janelle recalled the hours before Garrison died. She remembered texting and talking with him throughout the day and when he stopped around 8 p.m., Janelle asked his brothers to check in on him and then she went to bed.
She woke up to a call from her son Gabriel Brown telling her that Garrison was dead. “I don’t know what happened that night he did that because he’s had other nights like this where he would drink and then pass out and he would go kind of radio silent, but he’d be back in the morning,” Janelle explained. “I don’t know what happened this time.”
Janelle later told her sister Carrie that Garrison had “anxiety and depression and then he started drinking as a way to sort of soothe that” during the coronavirus pandemic. “And then just became the animal he couldn’t get a hold of. We did everything we could. And I know that,” she concluded.
Brotherly Love
Janelle recalled during a May 2025 episode of Sister Wives that Garrison was “very much involved with the young kids.” She fondly remembered him being “very mindful” of Kody and Christine Brown’s youngest daughter, Truely.
“Robyn would comment that he would come over every day to see Sol and Ari,” Janelle explained in the May 11 episode, referring to Kody and his fourth wife’s two children, Solomon and Ariella. Janelle gushed, “He was always very much about his younger siblings.”
During the same May 2025 TLC episode, Kody detailed his desire to take Garrison’s ashes and bury them in his ancestral state of Wyoming as a sort of “pilgrimage.”
“Sometimes out of the blue, out of the blue, it’ll overcome me. Almost, like, some kind of anxiety attack,” Kody said of the process. “Just a deep, overwhelming feeling that I’ll never see him again. There’s so much left unsaid, so much left undone.”
He noted that in order to mourn, he planned to bury Garrison “next to his grandma and his grandpa and, you know, just kind of … finish the circle.” Kody teared up, saying, “I was the first one that held him. This is my son. I rocked him to sleep. This is part of my mourning process.”
Digging the Grave
“I talked to the sexton of the cemetery and he’s the one that would normally dig the graves,” Kody explained in a separate May 2025 episode of Sister Wives. “And I just asked him permission if I could dig it. It means something to me. I don’t know why.”
Kody proceeded to dig Garrison’s grave in an “old west country cemetery” in Wyoming, calling it, “One of the most important things I’ve ever done.” He revealed, “It’s the last ode to my boy. … This is my duty, my job.”
