“Before Rachael addressed anything or Chris Harrison spoke on anything, I’m trying to be there for her, and I dismissed them as rumors, because that’s what they were to me.

Shower our friends and family with kindness and love to comfort us. And remind us that our Joy comes from you, Lord 💔”

Rachael revealed why the two broke up in an episode of Call Her Daddy. “He said that at the end of the day, there were just qualities about me that he worries about having in a wife. Like at the end of the day, like, there are things that we aren’t compatible with…” Kirkconnell said.

Eight months later, Clayton and Susie announced their breakup. “With incredibly heavy hearts, we wanted to share that we have decided to go our separate ways. For anyone who has ever loved, knows this was a painful decision to make and not one taken lightly,” they said in a joint statement on their social media at the time. “We understand that there will likely be a lot of questions about this decision — social media is definitely a highlight reel and much of our experiences together we have kept private as I’m sure most can understand. But we will share this — although this last year together has brought us so much joy and so many laughs, there has also been a significant amount of pain.”

They continued, “We know no healthy relationship comes without its struggles, but we’ve realized that we were not prepared for the external forces that hindered our ability to not only heal as individuals but also as a couple.”

The couple told their followers that they were “focused on continuing to work on ourselves, so we can be the best version of ourselves” going forward. “This is not an easy time for either of us but we stand in support of each other and hope to see the other go on to find happiness and healing,” they said. “Although Claysie is no more, we hope that our communities can support us individually as we move forward with love and respect for each other.” They concluded their post “Thank you to all of you that supported our relationship.
