Bachelor Nation’s Susie Evans and Justin Glaze connected over a vlog in winter 2022, but it wasn’t until the following year that things turned romantic.
Fans met Evans during season 26 of The Bachelor, which aired in 2021. Following an explosive finale in which Clayton Echard broke up with Evans, the pair announced they were dating again that December. However, they called it quits in September 2022.
Glaze, meanwhile, was the runner-up on season 17 of The Bachelorette in summer 2021. The season’s lead, Katie Thurston, ultimately accepted a proposal from Blake Moynes.
Following their respective Bachelor Nation heartbreaks, Glaze and Evans connected in late 2022 when Glaze asked Evans to help him film a video for work. Throughout 2023 the two sparked romance speculation as they continued to hang out.
Evans confirmed their romantic relationship in January 2024, sharing PDA-filled photos on social media. “Okay fine … y’all were right 😂🫶,” she captioned the images.
Less than a year later, Glaze announced in August 2024 that he and Evans had gone their separate ways.

What happens on The Bachelor, doesn’t always stay on The Bachelor! While many couples have found — or lost — love on the reality TV dating franchise over the years, others have met their match within Bachelor Nation after their season ended. Katie Thurston joined the club of offcamera Bachelor Nation couples in November 2021 […]
December 2022
“We’re hard launching a collaboration,” Evans exclusively told Us Weekly, shutting down rumors that she was dating Glaze. “I was there to help him film an ad, which had nothing to do with my blog. … His videographer wasn’t available and I live three hours from him and he was like, ‘Hey, is there any chance you’d be available on this date to do a videography thing?’ And I was like, ‘Can we exchange yes for a blog collaboration?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, absolutely.’”
She recalled having “so much fun” working with Glaze, revealing, “We were dying laughing going through the DMs [of dating questions I got] so I imagine it’ll be entertaining to watch back.”
Evans released the video collab where the pair answered fans’ DMs about their love lives later that month.
August 2023
After hanging out with fellow Bachelorette contestant Andrew Spencer at the Barbie premiere in July, Evans trolled rumors about her alleged romance with each man on social media.
Evans wore “Team Justin” and “Team Andrew” friendship bracelets to a Los Angeles’ Taylor Swift Eras Tour stop. The jewelry choice caused some fans to think she was indeed dating one of the Bachelor Nation stars.
October 2023
The pair’s relationship changed after Evans told Glaze in October 2023 to stop “messing around” regarding their flirty banter. “In the back of my head, I was like, ‘If you’re serious, I’m serious.’ That was kind of my mindset,” Glaze told E! News in January 2024 of the turning point. “I had always been testing the lines, and I wasn’t sure if she would go for it. So, I didn’t want to cross those boundaries.”
Glaze decided in that moment to express his feelings fully. “I was like, ‘Hey listen, I don’t know where you stand on our friendship or relationship. Obviously, I respect you so much, and I appreciate our friendship. But I’d be lying if I [said I] haven’t thought about if there is potential for more than a friendship just given the natural chemistry that we had as friends,’” he recalled, revealing that they shared a kiss that night.

During the same E! News interview, Evans confirmed for the first time that Glaze was her “boyfriend.” The couple proceeded to share a series of cozy photos on social media as their relationship hard launch.

August 2024
Speculation sparked that the two had split when fans noticed the pair hadn’t posted each other on their respective social media accounts. Evans told Us at the time that she realized it’s “better to protect your privacy and your peace than to appease what people want from you.” Glaze, for his part, told Us later that month that he and Evans were taking their relationship “day by day.”
Days later, Glaze confirmed that he and Evans called it quits. “Susie and I, we’re not together,” Glaze revealed during an episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast. “We are doing our best to — kind of, like I said — protect each other, keep things private as we try to navigate what this looks like for us.”
September 2024
Glaze and Evans were spotted sitting next to each other in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom as they cheered on Jenn Tran during the season 33 premiere in Los Angeles.
December 2024
During a December episode of “Almost Famous,” Evans gave OG Bachelorette Trista Sutter an update on where she and Glaze stand at the moment.
“We are working on things, and seeing if it makes sense for us and taking things slow, taking things privately,” Evans said of her and Glaze. “[We are] just kind of seeing what really makes sense for us.”
Evans added that it’s been “cool” that they “have been able to maintain a very positive friendship” since their breakup. While she is “grateful” to still remain on good terms with Glaze friendship-wise, she shared the pair’s next steps include figuring out if their romantic connection has longevity.
“I think a big thing in life is compatibility,” she explained. “We’re just at points in our life where we have to figure out if we are compatible.”
