After sparking dating rumors in 2023 and confirming their relationship in 2024, Susie Evans and Justin Glaze are now confirming not-so-happy news.
Justin was a contestant on Katie Thurston‘s season of The Bachelorette in 2021, while Susie actually won Clayton Echard‘s season of The Bachelor. Susie and Clayton dated on and off, but officially announced their breakup in September 2022.
After their seasons and after Justin‘s stint on Bachelor in Paradise, the two met up after Susie requested his help in filming a video for work. Since then, the two have been inseparable, beginning as friends but eventually confirming their status as a couple in January 2024.
Justin went on previous Bachelor alum Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti‘s Almost Famous podcast to give an unfiltered update on his life, including his relationship with Susie.
It wasn’t long before Justin revealed that he and Susie were no longer together, “We’re doing our best to kind of protect each other and keep things private as we try to navigate what this looks like for us. It has not been easy.”
While on the podcast, Justin hammered home that he and Susie still care about each other, even going as far as to say that they still prioritize both themselves and their relationship.
Justin did admit that navigating a public relationship was far from easy, but ultimately, he doesn’t think that’s what led to the breakup. After revealing that this was his first time in a public relationship, he spoke up about fans on social media, “I don’t succumb to giving anything I don’t want to give when it comes to my private life. There’s comments all the time that are like, ‘What happened? You have to tell us,’ and like, no I don’t. And no she doesn’t.”
Justin has said that they’ll discuss the breakup when they’re ready to talk about it. “We’re not gonna make some joint post. We’re going to figure this out together, we’re going to keep it private, I’m sure people will catch on eventually, and when we’re ready to talk about it, that’s what we’ll do,” Justin explained to Ashley and Ben.
Susie and Justin aren’t the only Bachelor Nation couple to break up this year. There’s been at least two other breakups from previous bachelors this year.
