Getting candid.
Susie Evans from Season 26 of “The Bachelor,” got real with her followers in a recent series of Instagram Story Q&As on her page, sharing more about her family and mental health.
Fans asked numerous personal questions such as, “Are you happy?” to check in on the Bachelor Nation star.
As fans know, Susie and Justin Glaze have recently been quiet online about their relationship after previously posting PDA-filled photos and videos, which has led followers to speculate about the status of their relationship and wonder how Susie is feeling.
She answered the above question honestly, saying, “I would say most of the time, yes! Plus, overwhelmingly grateful every single day. I feel like I am getting more and more aligned with who I want to be everyday and that feels good.”
However, she also followed up in response to another person’s comment, “We hope you are okay!” by writing, “All that being said…I’m fragile. Don’t be mean to me. Lol I should have a necklace that says ‘Cries easily.’”
Fans continued to ask questions, wanting to know more about her life and family. One follower asked if Susie has an adopted sister, and Susie confirmed that she does.

“[Barb is] one of the funniest and most resilient people I know. She is pretty incredible and makes our family more fun and happy just by being a part of it,” Susie wrote alongside cute photos of them together.
And on her blog, she shares the story of how her family adopted Barb at age 11 after she moved from foster care in South Florida to Virginia to live with Susie’s parents.
Susie also touches on how strong their bond is now by sharing, “We always say we are cousins by blood but sisters by love — which is technically true.” She writes, “I attribute a lot of my growth as an adult to [Barb].”
The Bachelor Nation alum later revealed on another Instagram Story slide that she also has an older brother and dubbed them “a trio of weirdos.”
We give big kudos to Susie for opening up and being so honest about topics that can be difficult to discuss. We wish her continued happiness and love seeing the support from Bachelor Nation!
