"Now I can focus on my feelings and getting myself back on my feet. I started therapy again and I started working out again and hanging out with my friends. And now I'm having a good time with life again," Juliana told Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti during a recent episode of "The Ben & Ashley I: Almost Famous" podcast.
"Are you dating?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, I am," Juliana said with enthusiasm, as if she were smiling big in the moment.
"You are dating someone that you like. I can tell," Ashley chimed in.
"Ohh! Yeah, I am seeing somebody," Juliana confirmed.
Juliana went on to reveal, "It's new, it's fun and it's flirty -- and I like that!"
Juliana acknowledged how coming out of her breakup with Grant was "so hard" and so she was "taking things really, really slow" in the dating department.
"It put my back a little bit into my old, 'I hate men' vibe, and I'm not a man hater and I'm not a woman hater. And so, I think I was just like, 'Let me give this guy a shot,'" she recalled.
"He was blowing me up for like three straight months, nonstop, and I've been ghosting him. And I was like, 'You know what? Screw it! You're cute!' So we're going to hang out."
Juliana confirmed that she and this mystery man made plans to ring in 2026 together.

"Yeah, he's coming here [to Boston] for New Year's," Juliana gushed.

But this isn't the first man Juliana has dated since her split from The Bachelor's Season 29 star.
During the December 2 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast, Juliana revealed a man she had been dating unexpectedly dumped her.
"Recently, I went on what they call a Stoop date," Juliana said, explaining that a matchmaker, who is also her friend, had set her up with a guy.
"It was a blind date but on her stoop in [South Boston], like, on her front steps. And that went really well. It was fun, it was cute, and we went on a couple of dates afterwards."
But Juliana revealed that the man said he "unfortunately couldn't handle the people coming up" to him "and asking him questions" related to her stint on The Bachelor.
"They were sending him DMs about me, and so I was like, 'I totally understand. No hard feelings.'"

If this new romance doesn't work out for Juliana, she said she'd be open to appearing on the next season of Bachelor in Paradise.
Juliana and Grant got engaged in the Dominican Republic at the Final Rose Ceremony of The Bachelor's 29th season.

The Bachelor finale in March had shown Grant appearing to still be undecided between Juliana and his other Final 2 bachelorette, Litia Garr, only minutes before the Final Rose Ceremony.
When Grant dumped Litia, she complained about how she felt completely blindsided and devastated.
Litia claimed on After the Final Rose that Grant had called her The One and confirmed they were getting engaged the night before the Final Rose Ceremony.
Litia proceeded to throw shade at Grant on social media once the show wrapped, and she even insinuated that Grant probably picked Juliana as his winner because she allegedly slept with him in the Fantasy Suite. (Juliana denied the allegation afterwards).
Juliana said Grant's "lack of accountability" in his breakup with Litia sparked an argument two days after they filmed After the Final Rose.
This argument was the beginning of the end of their relationship, according to Juliana, who stuck it out a little bit longer but dumped Grant in May.
