Bachelor Nation's Susie Evans and Andrew Spencer have finally addressed their super close friendship and whether there's something romantic blossoming between them, or between Susie and Justin Glaze.

Susie, Andrew and Justin appear to be best friends on social media, but given all three people are fun, attractive and single, many fans can't help but wonder if there's something more going on between Susie and one of the guys.

When asked directly if she's currently dating Andrew, Susie simply replied "no" during the August 1 episode of "The Viall Files" podcast hosted by Season 21 The Bachelor star Nick Viall.

Andrew -- who accompanied Susie to the Barbie movie premiere -- was also straight up asked if he's dating Susie during the podcast's July 25 episode.

"No, absolutely not. No," Andrew insisted, although fans will probably continue shipping the besties.

Nick joked of Andrew's quick answer, "You don't have to sound like you're disgusted at the idea! You were like, 'Eww, gross, yuck, Susie!'"

Andrew therefore clarified, "That's what we decided we were going to do. We're just going to completely deny it and deny it hard."

Nick's female co-hosts pointed out how Andrew's flirtatious TikTok videos with Susie would suggest otherwise about their relationship status.

"Okay, okay," Andrew sighed, brushing off the observation.

Nick asked Andrew as a result, "Are you milking [Susie videos] for clicks?"

"No. Well no, sort of, yeah," Andrew responded. "It's funny! If people get the humor, then great!"

Nick's co-hosts, however, kept probing into Andrew and Susie's unusual dynamic.

When asked to share his favorite thing about Susie, Andrew said, "Susie is the goofiest person you'll ever meet."

"I think she's the better version -- but girl version -- of me," he continued, "where she doesn't really overthink the things that she does. She's just like, 'Hey, I'm going to do it.' And I think that's the coolest thing."

The podcast's co-hosts joked about how it looks like Susie is The Bachelorette star and she's trying to decide whether to give Andrew or Justin her final rose.

"We're basically on an ongoing two-on-one date right now," Andrew confirmed with a laugh.

"[Justin] did his video with her the other day on a Target run, and I don't know how I felt about it. But I try to support them, [even though] I wanted to be a part of the video."

At the end of "The Viall Files" episode, the co-hosts teased Andrew that his girlfriend was going to appear on the show the following week.

"Nice lady," Andrew quipped.

Susie won Clayton Echard's heart on The Bachelor's 26th season, which aired in early 2022.

But Susie left the show during Fantasy Suites because Clayton had slept with, and also professed his love to, both Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia.

Even though Clayton realized Susie is a "once-in-a-lifetime woman," she was convinced on the show that The Bachelor star wasn't her "person."

However, Clayton and Susie began communicating after filming ended in late 2021 and sparked up a romance in the real world.


Susie and Clayton officially announced their relationship in March 2022 on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, but it didn't last long. The pair announced their split in September 2022.

Susie and Clayton -- who have both said they're not compatible and fought all the time when they were together -- have managed to remain friends since their split.

Susie, a wedding videographer, moved from Virginia to Los Angeles, CA, after her breakup with Clayton, and she's recently been dating around.

Susie said last month during an Instagram Q&A about dating in Los Angeles, "Rumor on the streets is that dating in L.A. is a nightmare. [People say] everyone has a roster, no one wants commitment, and people ghost all the time."

"Honestly though," she added, "I haven't had a negative experience, but I believe the others that have... Sometimes people are just sh*tty and don't make their intentions clear and that's the ultimate criminal offense in dating. Just be upfront and honest."

Andrew and Justin both initially competed for Katie Thurston's heart on The Bachelorette's seventeenth season, and they both looked for love again on Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season last year.

Andrew's first love interest in Paradise was Teddi Wright, and he gushed about how he could see a future with her, but she abruptly dumped Andrew and left the show.

Andrew proceeded to test the dating waters with Brittany Galvin, Jessenia Cruz and Ency Abedin, but he ultimately quit Paradise because he felt a big piece of his heart was still with Teddi and he needed clarity from that relationship.

Andrew reached out to Teddi for closure once he returned home from Mexico, but they never tried again.

After Justin finished as Katie's runner-up on The Bachelorette, he pursued Eliza Isichei on Bachelor in Paradise. He actually went on the ABC spinoff totally focused on getting to know Eliza.

Eliza eventually chose to give Rodney Mathews a rose over Justin, but she came to regret her decision. Eliza therefore chased down Justin in the real world -- and on-camera -- but he rejected her for not choosing him to begin with.
