Clayton Echard’s “Bachelor” season might have left fans cold, but its ending was undeniably explosive.
And, although it didn’t go well, Clayton ultimately decided Susie was the one for him.
Clayton maintained he genuinely loved all three women.

He also apologized for hurting them, promising it was never his intention.
As for Clayton and Susie, they’re happily looking to the future after reconnecting off camera.
Susie wanted to “break ties and reassess” before deciding to move forward with Clayton.

“I think people both rooted for us individually, but are people rooting for us together?”
“We have a lot of exciting things coming up,” Clayton shared.
We’re gonna a lot of exciting things.
So this is serious."
