Custom image by Cesar Garcia

The Bachelor season 29's Litia Garr was recently spotted forgetting her troubles at Coachella. The 31-year-old venture capitalist is still reeling from being rejected by Grant Ellis. She was one of 25 single women who spent the season dating Grant, 31, a day trader and former basketball player. Litia focused on her career her whole adult life, but now she was ready to find her husband. She comes from a large, close-knit Mormon family, so having her own family was important to her. She fell hard for Grant, and he fell for her, but it wasn't meant to be.

Grant liked Litia right away, and the couple had an instant connection. She seemed to be a front-runner throughout The Bachelor season 29. By the time the final rose ceremony rolled around, Litia was convinced that Grant intended to give her his final rose. When he proposed to Juliana Pasquarosa, 28, instead, Litia was blindsided. She never saw the elimination coming. Since confronting Grant during the season finale, Litia has been trying to heal her broken heart. She's been spending time with her former castmates and was recently spotted partying it up at Coachella.

What Happened Between Grant & Litia?

"It Was Going To Be Us"

During The Bachelor season 29, Grant whittled his initial 25 women down to Litia and Juliana. He made the mistake of telling both women he loved them, ensuring one would be blindsided. During the season finale, Litia revealed that Grant had gone even further than telling her that he loved her. According to Litia, he repeatedly told her he intended to pick her in the end. She even claimed he said he wanted to end the season early because he knew it was her.

During The Bachelor season 29 finale, Litia accused Grant of misleading her. “Grant and I had talked a lot about that day, and everything that he had ever said about it was that it was going to be us,” Litia said. "I remember saying goodbye to him and saying, ‘Oh my gosh, we are getting engaged tomorrow.’ And he said, ‘I know, I can’t wait. I love you. I love you. I love you.’ Those were the last words that he said to me before I walked up there. So it was a shock.” Grant has since denied Litia's claims.

Litia Headed To Coachella

"Girlychella"

Litia was devastated and blindsided when Grant gave his final rose to someone else during The Bachelor season 29, but she's not sitting at home crying about it. Litia recently posted Instagram photos from her recent trip to the music festival Coachella. The photos appear to show Litia having a great time with her girlfriends at the event. Her caption reads, "girlychella." Litia may be trying to distract herself from the pain of having her heart ripped out on national television, and it hopefully worked.

Will Lita Appear On Another Bachelor Show?

This Doesn't Have To Be The End Of Her Bachelor Journey

Litia didn't find love on The Bachelor, but that doesn't mean her Bachelor franchise journey is over. This summer, Bachelor In Paradise season 10 hits the beach. Litia would make an excellent addition to the cast. If not, she could also be in the running to be The Bachelorette. Though ABC put the unscripted spin-off on hiatus, the show will be back someday. Litia has the poise and emotional maturity to make a great Bachelor Nation lead. As Grant's runner-up, she's the front-runner.

It may be a long time before Litia can ever fully trust a man again, but she shouldn't waste too much time.

The bigger issue may be that Litia may struggle to open her heart again after what Grant did to her at the end of The Bachelor season 29. It's not just the fact that he ended up choosing someone else. It's more about the fact that he repeatedly misled her so aggressively. It may be a long time before Litia can ever fully trust a man again, but she shouldn't waste too much time. She should do her best to move on from Grant, and having fun at Coachella was a great start.
