On The Bachelor, Clayton Echard and Susie Evans’ relationship was a blur. Echard, a former NFL player, got a lot of bad feedback when it was said that he would be the next Bachelor in September 2021.
ABC tried to make him look like the “underdog.” During his season, this criticism only got worse, especially about how he treated his last three women, Evans, Rachel Recchia, and Gabby Windey.
Echard had a hard time choosing a winner after saying he loved all three women and getting close to Recchia and Windey. This was especially true when Evans, who was his favourite, said she couldn’t see herself moving forward with him.
Echard’s season of The Bachelor started filming in September 2021. Echard met Evans on the first night, and her handshake with the buzzer helped her stand out. After they took their relationship off-screen, they had many sweet moments and milestones together, like moving in together. Find out where the reality TV couples are now by reading on.
Are the Bachelor’s Clayton and Susie Still Together?
Clayton Echard told his family on the season 26 finale of “The Bachelor” that he wanted to try to get Susie back. The trouble between the couple started when the woman from Virginia Beach was very worried about Clayton’s overnight dates with Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia. “I didn’t understand how important it was until right now,” she said while Rachel was on her date. “I don’t know if he can love more than one person at the same time.”
“For me, sex is a way to connect with someone,” Susie said before leaving for her fantasy suite. “I just hope that Clayton and I are on the same page and see it the way I do.”
He wasn’t, it turns out. Even though Clayton told Susie that he loved her, she wasn’t the only one. During their romantic dinner at the Sky Lagoon hot springs, Susie said she would feel “uncomfortable” if he slept with other women.
Even though things between the two seemed great, they told the world on Instagram on September 23 that they were breaking up.
Susie wrote, “With very sad hearts, we wanted to let you know that we’ve decided to go our separate ways.” “Anyone who has ever loved knows that this was a hard choice that wasn’t made quickly. We know that this decision will probably raise a lot of questions. Social media is a highlight reel, and we’ve kept a lot of our experiences together private, as I’m sure most people can understand. But we’ll agree on this: Even though we’ve had a lot of fun and laughs together over the past year, there has also been a lot of pain.
