Hannah Brown, the beloved former Bachelorette, has recently revealed her secret support for Susie Evans and Justin Glaze as they navigate their relationship on the latest season of “Bachelor in Paradise.” As fans of the franchise know, the dynamics of love and friendship can be complicated, especially when exes are involved. This season, the reunion of Justin and Susie—who previously dated off-screen after their respective stints on “The Bachelorette” and “The Bachelor”—has brought a mix of excitement and drama to the beach in Costa Rica.
During an exclusive interview, Hannah shared her thoughts on the rekindled romance, expressing her hope for the couple to reconnect. “I’ve had quite a few experiences dealing with exes. It definitely shakes things up,” she said. Hannah, who joined the cast as “Paradise Relations,” admitted to feeling the tension between the two. “I just wanted for them to both have their unique experience. I mean, I’m not gonna lie, there were some moments where I just wanted them to rekindle because I just love watching it on social media.”
For those unfamiliar, Justin and Susie’s romance began as a friendship in late 2022, blossoming into something more in the fall of 2023. They confirmed their relationship publicly in January 2024, but their journey has been anything but straightforward. Susie, who dated Clayton Echard after her season, and Justin, who has been a fan favorite since his appearance, have both faced their share of ups and downs in the spotlight.
In a recent episode, bartender Wells Adams weighed in on the situation, questioning whether Justin had truly moved on from his past relationships. “My advice, always, is the best way to get over an ex is to get under someone else,” he remarked, alluding to the potential love interests surrounding the couple. Wells expressed his admiration for Justin, calling him “handsome, funny, charming, and successful,” and noted how surprising it is that he hasn’t yet found lasting love.
As the season unfolds, viewers are treated to a front-row seat to the evolving relationship between Justin and Susie. Their chemistry is palpable, and Hannah’s enthusiasm for their connection adds an extra layer of intrigue to the storyline. The dynamics of their past, combined with their current feelings, create a compelling narrative that keeps fans engaged.
The drama isn’t limited to just these two, as the “Bachelor in Paradise” cast is filled with personalities ready to find love or stir up trouble. Hannah, with her experience on reality television, is in a unique position to provide guidance to her fellow cast members. She acknowledges the importance of recognizing red flags, something she wishes she had been more aware of in her own journey on “The Bachelorette.”
As the show progresses, fans are left wondering if Justin and Susie will indeed rekindle their romance or if new relationships will emerge from the chaos of the beach. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and with Hannah rooting for their success, the stakes have never been higher.
In December 2024, Susie opened up about their relationship status, emphasizing the importance of compatibility and taking things slow. “We are working on things, and seeing if it makes sense for us and taking things privately,” she explained on the “Almost Famous” podcast. “I think a big thing in life is compatibility. We’re just at points in our life where we have to figure out if we are compatible.”
As the season continues to air on ABC every Monday at 8 p.m. ET, fans eagerly anticipate what lies ahead for Justin and Susie. Will they find their way back to each other, or will the complexities of their past keep them apart? With Hannah Brown’s support and the ever-watchful eyes of Bachelor Nation, one thing is for sure: this season of “Bachelor in Paradise” promises to deliver plenty of drama, romance, and unexpected twists.
In the world of reality television, where love stories often take center stage, the evolving relationship between Justin and Susie is a reminder of the unpredictable nature of romance. Whether they ultimately find their way back to each other or choose different paths, their journey is sure to captivate fans and keep them tuning in week after week.
