Susie Evans and Justin Glaze are officially dating!
“New couple alert!’ Susie Evans and Justin Glaze have confirmed that they are ‘an item’.
The two recently gave a joint interview with E! News where they openly discussed their relationship status. Susie said,
“Justin is my boyfriend, We’re dating.”
The acceptance comes months after the speculation that they’re dating.
They were first friends before turning their relationship into a romance. The Bachelor Nation star, 30 shared that although they had been flirtatious they never had physical affection.
“Justin dated people, I dated people. So, the narrative of us being truly just friends was true.”
Justin was the one who first slid into Susie’s DMs in late 2022 after he needed a videographer for a work project.
They met just two months after Susie’s breakup with former Bachelor Clayton Echard.
After the meeting, they initially connected that they both moved to Los Angeles from the east coast.

When did things start changing in their friendship?
It was October 2023 when Justin realized things were “a little bit different” when Evans stopped him from playing around while they were ”messing around with each other a little flirtatiously per usual.’
He recalled,
“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.”
The Maryland native continued,
“We had a really nice conversation, and I kinda just went for it. 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.”
The former Miss Virginia USA also got serious enough and ended up having their first kiss. They then began dating secretly.
They even kept their relationship private from their friends for a few weeks. Glaze explained,
“We’ve always wanted to just kind of protect our privacy, which sounds funny to say because we went on the show where our romantic connections are far from private. But we wanted to just protect our peace, and control our narrative and not put any pressure on our relationship.”

Susie Evans and Justin Glaze even introduce each other to their families
In an interview, the lovebirds revealed they even had their “own little hometown” date over the holidays.
Justin went to Virginia to meet Susie’s family while the reality TV star met her future-in-laws in Maryland.
The model shared that she also joined her beau for an outing to see his beloved Baltimore Ravens play.
She gushed about her boyfriend saying what she loves most about him is the way he shows up for her. She expressed,
“If I’m dealing with something, I just deal with it myself, and I don’t know if I’ve ever felt like I could rely on someone to be there the way I can rely on Justin. It actually makes me kind of emotional talking about it because I feel like there have been so many things where he’s just shown such good character when I’ve really needed somebody.”
She added,
“He’s really shown up and been so supportive, and I’ve never had someone be there for me like that. I have a great family, but like a partner, I’ve never had somebody show up the way he has.”
Justin, for his part, also expressed his feelings toward her saying wonderful things about her.
“She’s always just so understanding and kind, and she’s a huge empath. She’s kind of taught me how to step back, and just communicate, and slow things down, and see things from a totally different angle, which is something that I probably needed.”
