As I delve into the lives of these Bachelor Nation alums, I am struck by the rollercoaster of emotions they have experienced and continue to navigate. From the highs of finding love amidst the sun-kissed beaches of Paradise, to the lows of heartbreak and parting ways, their stories are a testament to the trials and triumphs that come with seeking love on national television.
The last petal has fallen on this Bachelor Nation romance.
Justin Glaze and Susie Evans, who appeared on The Bachelorette season 17 and The Bachelor season 26, have called off their relationship, having split up just under a year since publicly announcing it to TopMob News.
Justin clarified during the ‘Almost Famous’ podcast on August 28th that Susie and he are no longer a couple. They’re attempting to maintain privacy while figuring out their new dynamic, which hasn’t been an easy process.
But Justin shared that the former couple remain on “great terms.”
“The individual, who was a contestant on Katie Thurston’s season of The Bachelorette in 2021, went on to say that there remains a deep affection between them. They continue to converse and keep in touch. As I mentioned earlier, they are focusing on each other, themselves, and their relationship.”
Justin acknowledged that handling a public relationship wasn’t straightforward, but he believed it didn’t contribute to the split in any manner.
He mentioned that this was his initial experience dealing with a public relationship. He emphasized that he’s careful about what he shares regarding his personal life, saying “I won’t hand out anything I’m not willing to give.” There’s always people asking, “What happened? You need to tell us,” but his response is a firm “no” – both for himself and for the other person involved.
Apart from that, Justin expressed his gratitude for sharing their public romance with Susie, age 31. They managed to go through their relationship and subsequent separation as a team.
Justin stressed how blessed he feels to have Susie in his life. Initially, they opted not to make a public statement about their situation. Instead, they chose to deal with it privately. He was confident that people would eventually notice. When they’re ready, they will share what they want regarding their situation. At the moment, he’s extremely grateful for where things stand between them.
As a follower who’s kept close tabs on their journey, I can attest that Susie, who once received Clayton Echard’s final rose in 2022 before parting ways six months later, has expressed sentiments similar to Justin’s about the significant role the Baltimore native played in her life.
“She expressed to TopMob News in January that she’s never found anyone as dependable as Justin. He’s proven himself and offered tremendous support, something no one else has done for her. Although she has a wonderful family, when it comes to a partner, no one has been as reliable as he has.”

Though underwater welder John Henry Spurlock (one of Charity Lawson‘s suitors) and nurse Kat Izzo (she competed for Zach Shallcross‘ heart) didn’t connect until midway through season nine of Bachelor in Paradise, they were willing to dive into the deep end. “I’m going to try something a little different,” he said while offering up an Ascher cut Neil Lane diamond. “I’m following my heart today. My heart’s telling me that you are amazing, you are everything that I’m looking for.”
But days after the finale aired, the duo revealed they no longer saw forever in each other’s eyes. “While our paths are taking different directions due to our career goals not aligning,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post, “we are grateful for the love and support we’ve received from our family, friends, and Bachelor Nation.”

Despite her nerves about a Paradise engagement, an all-dressed-in-white Eliza Isichei (one of Clayton Echard‘s exes) happily accepted Aaron Bryant‘s oceanfront proposal. Touched by the software salesman’s decision to reach out to her mom for her blessing, she gushed, “I knew I was not in control of what was going to come out of my mouth.”
The finale’s coda acknowledged Charity’s ex and marketing manager Eliza had hit some bumps after returning from Mexico, and days later they announced they had officially ended their engagement.
“Tricky emotions watching it all unfold,” he wrote on Instagram Dec. 11. “We’re leading our amicable split with nothing but positivity and mutual respect for one another.”

Though postpartum nurse Kylee Russell lamented boyfriend Aven Jones‘ unwillingness to get down on bended knee—a move he was purportedly prepared to make while romancing Bachelorette Rachel Recchia—she ultimately accepted Aven’s Paradise proposal to “get out of here and make it work.”
Though that meant her planned engagement gown remained packed, “I just had to do what I felt was right,” she said. “Love is all about taking risk.”
Two days after their December 2023 finale aired, she announced on her Instagram Stories that their relationship had “dissolved due to multiple infidelities.” Aven later issued an apology to Kylee, writing, “I have made major mistakes in the relationship and hurt someone who was very close to me.”
Charity Lawson expressed her satisfaction with the way the current season unfolded in an interview with TopMob News. However, this statement did not fully capture the grandeur of her upcoming August 2023 finale. Integrative medicine specialist Dotun Olubeko got down on one knee and declared their love to be “perfect,” proposing to Charity, a child and family therapist, by asking if she would agree to transform their fairy tale into reality.

Zach shall get his happy ending. Despite more than a few Fantasy Suite-related stumbles, Zach Shallcross ended season 27 in March 2023 down on one knee. “I am so in love with you,” he told travel nurse Kaity Biggar. “You are my world. The love I feel for you is something I could have never imagined.”

“I will love you until the end of time. I will love you until my last breath and I want to start forever with you,” Brandon Jones proclaimed while proposing to “best friend” Serene Russell on season seven of Paradise.
Alas, their journey was cut short. Five months after their engagement aired, Brandon (a runner-up on Michelle Young‘s season) and Serene (who romanced Clayton Echard) announced they had split in a joint May 2023 statement. “We have tried to work privately on our relationship which has been incredibly challenging in the public eye,” they wrote on Instagram. “This has been immensely hard to accept and painful, as there is a lot of love between the two of us. We are deeply hurting and can only ask that there be no hate.”

In essence, Susie Evans had quite an experience during the 2022 finale when she turned down Bachelor Clayton’s proposals. However, they reconnected off-camera after the show, eventually parting ways six months later. But don’t be worried, as Susie explains their separation was for valid reasons. According to her blog post on “Susie Was Like” dated Nov 21, she felt a noticeable change in herself, stating that her sparkle had diminished and she wasn’t flourishing. She admitted they shared many delightful moments, but deep inside, she was grappling with difficulties and feeling misaligned with the best version of herself.
After dating Justin Glaze, a contestant from Bachelor Nation, Susie later confirmed that they had parted ways as well, in August of 2024.
Michelle, a Minnesota elementary school teacher, received an engagement ring and a $200,000 check from Texas sales exec Nayte Olukoya and the show’s producers for their future home. However, they realized they weren’t compatible, announcing their breakup six months after their season ended in December 2021. Although he admitted to many disagreements on a podcast called “The Viall Files”, Nayte felt not having a face-to-face conversation to end things was unfair, calling it a “dick move.”

Current Status: In a Relationship
Since Matt parted ways with graphic designer Rachael Kirkconnell during his 2021 season (and briefly separated before reconciling), they have been plagued by breakup speculations. However, rest assured, their affection for each other remains strong.
“I believe everyone needs a break from social media,” Matt shared exclusively with TopMob News at a July 18 Baskin-Robbins event. “Our lives are so heavily influenced by our phones that when someone takes a brief pause from constant phone usage, people panic.”
Marriage is the ultimate goal for this L.A.-based couple. “I believe the positive aspect of our relationship is we move at our own pace,” the author of First Impressions: Off Screen Conversations With a Bachelor on Race, Family, and Forgiveness told TopMob News in 2022. “And you’ve seen with other couples – they rush into engagement and are no longer together.

In a new relationship, it can be challenging when you have to leave for a few weeks, if that makes sense? And I’m speaking honestly about this situation, she expressed on The Ben and Ashley I. Almost Famous podcast in August 2021.
Back in those days, it seemed crucial for us to recall the reasons behind our bond. Honestly, I believe that’s completely natural under the circumstances. However, as of November 2021, TopMob News reported they had parted ways.

During season 16 of ‘The Bachelorette’, Clare became deeply smitten by Dale Moss. So much so that they got engaged as early as the fourth episode. However, the unexpected twists didn’t end there. Weeks later, after Tayshia had found her own engagement, Dale shared on social media that his relationship with the hairdresser had ended.
A month later, whispers of reconciliation swirled around them as they were seen together. Fast forward to July 2021; after numerous meetings, Clare and Dale had fully rekindled their relationship, complete with a ring. However, in September of the same year, they parted ways once more. Now, Clare is blissfully married to Ryan Dawkins and expecting their first child together.

As a devoted fan, I had high hopes for Peter’s third attempt at love after his brief engagement with Hannah Ann Sluss and subsequent split from Madison Prewett. However, fate seemed to have other plans as my favorite pilot, Peter, announced on New Year’s Eve 2020 that his nine-month relationship with Kelley Flanagan, the standout from The Bachelor season 24, was over.
“Though our time together held many cherished moments, unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned between us. Still, Kelley remains someone dear to me, forever engraved with a unique affection.” – Pete’s Instagram post

During season 24 of The Bachelor, Peter and Hannah Ann were romantically involved for a short while. Regrettably, by the second part of the finale, it became clear that their relationship was facing challenges only a month into being exclusive. More specifically, Hannah Ann was taken aback when she discovered that Peter still harbored feelings for Madison.
She said, “All I’ve truly desired is for someone to offer their complete affection the way I do mine. And you ended my initial engagement,” she shared, returning the ring. “You took that from me. It’s because I trusted you, and that’s what I’ve always asked of you – ‘Be patient with me. Have faith in me.'”
Currently, their relationship status is married. After their nomadic days, Dean Unglert (a finalist on Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay’s season) and Caelynn Miller-Keyes, who had a romantic connection with Colton Underwood during Paradise, parted ways in 2019. However, they have been inseparable ever since.
Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin, who found love during season six of BIP, exchanged vows in a fairytale-like French wedding. As Hannah shared with TopMob News, “The wedding was truly magical. I married my best friend, surrounded by our nearest and dearest. It meant the world to us.” Mostly, the content creator, who previously had feelings for Bachelor Colton Underwood, is thrilled to now be officially known as the wife of the tech entrepreneur from Hannah Brown’s season. “We are definitely committed to a long-term relationship,” she said about their new life together in San Diego. “Our families are closely involved, and it feels like we have a marriage-like bond. We want to create memories, solidify our union, but it already feels like we are married in many ways.”
