Susie Evans and Justin Glaze have discovered love in Bachelor Country in any case.
“Justin is my boyfriend. We’re dating,” Evans, 30, advised E! Information in an interview printed on Wednesday, January 24.
Evans and Glaze, 29, sparked a friendship after their respective appearances on Clayton Echard and Katie Thurston’s seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. In spite of often getting comfortable in social media snaps, they asserted their bond used to be purely platonic with a slight flirtatious undertone.
In October 2023, on the other hand, Evans advised Glaze to prevent “messing around” referring to their flirty banter.
“I was like, ‘Oh, this tone seems a little bit different,” Glaze recalled to E! Information. “In the back of my head, I was like, ‘If you’re serious, I’m serious.’ That was kind of my mindset. 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.”
After a “really nice conversation,” Glaze “just went for it” and expressed his emotions.
“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, noting they shared a kiss that evening.
Glaze and Evans stored their newfound romance underneath wraps for a few weeks to “protect [their] privacy” and “not put any pressure on [their] relationship.”
Just about three hundred and sixty five days previous, Evans completely advised Us Weekly how she first met Glaze.
“We’re hard-launching a collaboration,” she quipped to Us in December 2022 when requested about assembly 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.’ We actually had so much fun.”
Whilst Evans and Glaze have been simply buddies on the time, she used to be open to relationship any other member of Bachelor Country. (Evans closing dated Echard, 30, off and on till their September 2022 breakup.)
“I think that I would really have to be interested in the person and I would wanna get to know them before ever, like, going out with them publicly. I would really wanna vet that call,” she advised Us. “I would really wanna make sure that’s somebody that if there was a picture taken or something like that — not that it really matters, I kind of don’t care about stuff like that — but it would be another public relationship. … So I would just really have to make sure that I actually, really, really like that person before I even give a first date a chance just because I think it gets complicated when people wanna talk about it.”
