Susie Evans & Justin Glaze Turned a Friendship Into a Romance in October 2023
The couple shared with E! News that Evans first met Glaze in November 2022 when she flew out to work with him on a professional project. A few months later, they both independently moved to Los Angeles, California.
They hung out and stayed in touch, but they were not dating one another. Evans recalled, “Justin dated people, I dated people.”
In October 2023, their dynamic changed. They had been flirtatious with one another already, but a late evening out sparked a shift.
Glaze recalls that after a night out with mutual friends, Evans told him to stop playing around.
He remembers thinking, “Oh, this tone seems a bit different.” Glaze added, “In the back of my head, I was like, ‘If you’re serious, I’m serious.’ That was kind of my mindset.”
The former “Bachelor in Paradise” star explained, “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.”
That night, though, Glaze revealed the two “kinda just went for it” and shared their first kiss. They kept things quiet, even within their friend group, for a while.
“We wanted to just protect our peace, and control our narrative and not put any pressure on our relationship,” Glaze explained.
Glaze and Evans joined Jason Tartick for the January 25 episode of his “Trading Secrets” podcast and talked in-depth about their relationship. Toward the end of the podcast, Tartick asked them if they were living together or thinking about it.
“I think I’m too messy, honestly,” Evans joked. Glaze noted, “I feel like we already live together. We’re at each other’s place all the time.” He added, “I would definitely be the difficult one to live with. I’m pretty OCD.”
The Bachelor Nation couple may not be serious about moving in together yet, but they definitely talk as if they are planning for the future. Fans certainly seem there for it.
