Heavy "Bachelorette" winner Nayte Olukoya has revealed his new girlfriend on social media.
A former winner of “The Bachelorette” has finally debuted his new girlfriend after months of keeping her under wraps. Nayte Olukoya got engaged to Michelle Young at the end of “The Bachelorette” season 18.
As People noted, the finale to Young and Olukoya’s season aired in December 2021. The two said they had lots of plans for a future together, but within a matter of months, all signs pointed to trouble in their relationship.
In June 2022, “The Bachelorette” stars ended their engagement.
Both Young and Olukoya started teasing new romances in recent months, and now they have both gone public with their partners. Young officially hard-launched her relationship with fellow Minnesotan Jack Leius in October 2023. Now, it was Olukoya’s turn.
