Clayton defended him by saying, [them] So I lay down with this person because I needed to understand what the psychological connection was like. Say you have a crush on someone, you just have to explore. However, even after Susie Evans left the show, Clayton still had lingering feelings for her. He later tried to reconcile their relationship after The Bachelor was over. Clayton didn’t think it would work out, especially after their relationship ended.

They posted their favorite photos on their respective Instagram accounts, giving fans a brief overview of their feelings. Still, fans were shown their love. However, a few months later, the couple chose to try a long-distance relationship to chase their dreams. Clayton and Susie head in different directions as “outside forces” negatively impact their relationship. The former couple is currently focused on their work.
