Bachelor Nation BFFs Susie Evans & Marlena Wesh Reunite for the First Time Since ‘The Bachelor’
A mini “Bachelor” reunion!
While Susie Evans found love with Clayton Echard on Season 26 of “The Bachelor,” she went home with more than a boyfriend.
She also made lifelong friendships, including a special bond with Marlena Wesh.
The two are both from Virginia Beach but didn’t know each other prior to living together in the Bachelor Mansion.
Now, months after filming has ended, Susie and Marlena have reunited in their hometown for a girls day out at brunch.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Marlena shared photos with her Bachelor Nation BFF, writing, “Brunch with my literal spirit animal in our hometown! Haven’t seen this girl in person since elimination night, but we picked up exactly where we left off.”
Marlena continued on and shared some of her special memories with Susie from their time on “The Bachelor.”
She said, “Susie and I shared sooo many memories in the mansion. We laughed, we cried, we uplifted, and remained supportive. She was honestly the person I went to whenever I got too in my head and needed someone to calm me down.”
Marlena concluded her post by writing, “I’m so thankful to come out of the franchise with a friend like her. Can’t wait to see where life lands us next!”
Susie commented on Marlena’s post, gushing, “Omg this caption just sent me. I love you Marlena! Crazy as it is, I’m so grateful that a reality show brought two VB people together under the craziest of circumstances.”
And many of their fellow Bachelor 26 women also chimed in in the comments.
Genevieve Parisi wrote, “Two BEAUTIES!” and Kate Gallivan added, “I love y’all!!”
We couldn’t agree more! We love Susie and Marlena’s friendship, and we can’t wait for all that the future holds for both of them!
