The Bachelor's Clayton Echard & Susie Evans Split - Read Their Statement

Clayton Echard and Susie Evans have ended their relationship, just six months after the season finale of The Bachelor.

The former couple confirmed their breakup with a joint statement on Instagram on Friday afternoon (September 23). One month ago, they announced that they were pursuing a long distance relationship and were no longer living together.

Clayton and Susie had a rocky time on The Bachelor after he sent her home during the final three round. He later decided not to give his final rose to either of his final two women because he realized Susie was the woman he wanted in the end. She initially turned him down, but then they got back together and were a happy couple during the After the Final Rose special.
