Justin Glaze confirms breakup from fellow Bachelor Nation alum Susie Evans

The rumor mill had been churning for the past few weeks as Bachelor Nation wondered about the fate of Susie Evans and Justin Glaze's relationship. It was the classic "they're not on each other's feeds anymore" or "why are't they in each other's stories?" suspicion, and alas, just like always, it had some merit.

The couple that came together unexpectedly through the foundation of a friendship and ties to Bachelor Nation has officially split according to Glaze himself.

While on the Almost Famous podcast, Justin shared, “Susie and I, we’re not together. 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.”

Say it ain't so!

Glaze shared the break-up has "not been easy"

“We still have a ton of love for each other. We’re on great terms. We still talk and are in communication,” Glaze said on the podcast. “Like I said, [we are] still prioritizing each other, ourselves, our relationship.”

When a relationship is in the public eye in the way theirs was, there is also a conversation that has to happen about letting the fans know. According to Glaze, both he and Evans had to figure out the best way to do that. Similar to how their relationship started with things kept private and slowly opening up to the world, they want to handle their breakup the same way.

The world met Glaze when he first appeared as a contestant on The Bachelorette in 2021 when Katie Thurston was the lead. He was the runner-up but ultimately was sent home by Katie. Evans, on the other hand, was on Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor, and while they did have an on-again, off-again thing, they split up in 2022, paving the path for Glaze and Evans' romance to begin.

Of course, that romance has now come to an end, and the couple has decided to go their own ways.
