Susie Evans Admits She Has ‘Regrets’ About Split from Bachelor Star Clayton Echard Following Justin Glaze Breakup

Evans and Echard dated in 2022 before going their separate ways

 

Susie Evans is looking back at her Bachelor breakups.

On the Friday, Aug. 30, episode of the Almost Famous podcast, the 31-year-old television star revealed that she still has some “regrets” over her 2022 split with Clayton Echard, also 31.

“I have regrets from how the last one went to be honest, even though I feel like I was mostly private about that too,” Evans said. “Even the little bit that you give to people — like the way people recap it or put their own twists on it, or make assumptions — it can just be perceived just in a way that you don’t want it to be.”

The former couple met on season 16 of The Bachelor in 2022, but their relationship didn’t survive past that year.

After they went their separate ways, Evans became friends with Justin Glaze, who appeared as a contestant on season 17 of The Bachelorette and later joined season 8 of Bachelor In Paradise.

Evans and Glaze, 30, went public with their relationship in January.

However, on Aug. 28, Glaze told Almost Famous that the two were no longer an item.

“Susie and I, we’re not together,” the former Bachelorette contestant said. “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.”

He admitted that their breakup had not “been easy,” but also shared that the two “still have a ton of love for each other” and are on “great terms.”

 

“We still talk and are in communication. Like I said, [we are] still prioritizing each other, ourselves, our relationship,” he continued.

Glaze’s confession could have been brought on by him seeing “comments all the time” asking if he and Evans were still together, though he added that he’s not one to go into great detail about “my private life.”

“I’m very fortunate to have someone like Susie in my life,” he added.

“We are always on the same page about our relationship. So when this first happened we decided like, 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. I’m just very fortunate to be at the place we are at right now.”

In July, Echard also spoke positively about Evans despite their split.

While appearing on the Reality Steve Podcast, the reality television star praised Evans for sticking by his side during a highly publicized paternity suit that was filed against him.

“I was so grateful. When she came out, I’d saw that she said, listen. Clayton might be a lot of things, but he’s not a liar, and that meant a lot to me,” Echard said. “Because she didn’t have to say anything. But, like, that’s somebody that I got to know on a personal level, you know, pretty deeply. And she didn’t have to [say anything], but she was like, ‘Listen, I know that my voice is going to get people to understand or come around.’ “
