The Bachelor<\/em>\u2019s Susie Evans<\/strong><\/a> reunited with ex-boyfriend Clayton Echard<\/strong><\/a> one month after her split from Justin Glaze<\/strong><\/a> was confirmed.<\/p>\n \u201cFor those of you who guessed @claytonechard yesterday, you were right!! I got him on the podcast to share his wild story about the paternity scandal!\u201d Susie, 31, wrote via Instagram Stories on Thursday, September 19.<\/p>\n The \u201cLive, Laugh, Lies\u201d podcast host wrote the announcement over a photo of her and Clayton, 31, inside the podcast studio. Susie, who split from the former Bachelor<\/a> in September 2022, wore a pink long-sleeve shirt, light wash jeans and white Nike Air Force 1\u2019s. Clayton donned a similar outfit as he sported a thin blue T-shirt, dark trousers and Oreo-colored Nikes.<\/p>\n Susie teased Clayton\u2019s upcoming appearance on her podcast with a snippet of their conversation.<\/p>\n \u201cWe couldn\u2019t start a podcast about lies and not have my ex on!!\u201d Susie captioned the September 19 Instagram video<\/a>. \u201cAs many of you know, Clayton was wrongly accused of being the father of a literal nonexistent child \u2026 You\u2019re going to want to give this one a listen.\u201d<\/p>\n In August 2023, a woman named Laura Owens<\/strong> falsely accused Clayton of impregnating her with her unborn twins<\/a>. The former ABC star complied and took paternity tests in October 2023 and the results revealed that he was not the father.<\/p>\n In June, the court learned that Laura lied about the pregnancies and filed fraudulent paternity lawsuits with other male victims.<\/p>\n In the filing viewed by Life & Style<\/em>, Arizona Judge Julia Ann Mata<\/strong> ruled that the woman \u201cknowingly presented a false claim, knowingly violated a court order compelling disclosure or discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere were plenty of times where I felt like I just wanted to give up and not fight because it just was taking up so much of my energy to do so,\u201d Clayton told People<\/em><\/a> at the time. \u201cBut I just learned that sticking to it and really fighting for yourself. I mean, no one will fight for you like you will.\u201d<\/p>\n Susie, on the other hand, is also in a transformative phase of her life after she and Justin called it quits after less than one year together. After months of speculation, Susie and Justin confirmed their relationship<\/a> in January 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cJustin dated people, I dated people. So the narrative of us being truly just friends was true,\u201d the photographer told E! News<\/em> at the time.<\/p>\n Later in the interview, the pair recalled the moment they realized their bomb was more than platonic.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had a really nice conversation, and I kinda just went for it,\u201d Justin added. \u201cI was like, \u2018Hey listen, I don\u2019t know where you stand on our friendship or relationship. Obviously, I respect you so much, and I appreciate our friendship. But I\u2019d be lying if I [said I] haven\u2019t thought about if there is potential for more than a friendship just given the natural chemistry that we had as friends.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
