A Look Back At Susie Evans & Justin Glaze’s Relationship
Susie Evans did not accept Clayton Echard’s final rose during the intense Bachelor season 26 finale. However, she later accepted it during the After The Final Rose special when they revealed they had reconnected after filming. They dated for six months before going their separate ways.
She became friends with Justin Glaze, who was a contestant on Katie Thurston’s Bachelorette season. The pair were just friends at first, but friendship turned to love. After teasing their relationship status for way too long, Justin and Susie confirmed they were dating in January 2024. They announced the split later that summer.
They both joined Season 10 of Bachelor In Paradise. It was revealed that Justin and Susie did rekindle their romance after their breakup but split again earlier this year.
Justin Glaze Reflects On Rose Ceremony Drama
Justin started to form a connection with Lexi Young but ultimately chose to give Susie his rose during the latest rose ceremony. He wasn’t trying to rekindle anything. He just felt it was the right thing to do because of their history.
The chaotic rose ceremony ended in Susie, Justin, and Lexi all going home. Justin was a guest on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast after his departure.
He said that he believes Susie turned the rose down for the same reason he offered it: she didn’t want to be the reason someone else went home.
Does he regret it? He said, “I stand by the choice that I made. I don’t have any regrets about it, but I do feel bad, and I do wish that we could have had a conversation beforehand. … We weren’t allowed to.”
Justin Glaze and Lexi Young got into it on social media over why he didn’t give her a heads up that he wasn’t feeling their connection. As he said on the podcast, he wasn’t allowed to talk to Susie or Lexi before he handed out his rose.
Justin Or Susie: Who Initiated The Split?
After arriving at the resort, Susie Evans did find time to talk to Justin Glaze about their relationship. They agreed that they were both ready to move on. However, they didn’t really address specifically why they split.
Bachelor Nation fans took to social media to share their thoughts about what led to the split. One fan thought Justin was the one who initiated it. They wrote, “After watching the conversations last night and seeing how emotional Susie was, my guess is that Justin broke up with her. She seems so heartbroken and it’s sad to see.”
Other fans thought she dumped him. So, what’s the real answer? He confirmed on the podcast that while the split was mutual, she initiated it.
