Get ready for relationship news that most likely no one is in Scholar The nation saw it coming!
There is speculation among fans of the reality dating series that she is doing it Rachel Rechia and Clayton Echard who is dating again after a nasty breakup that was during season 26 of Scholar! It all started when the 26-year-old pilot posted a video TikTok Wednesday. Lip-sync for some lines, ex Bachelor (and other exes) Michelle Young asked Rachel “to say what happened” between the former couple. Then he called Rachel, saying:
“I would, but I think explaining it might give me an aneurysm.”
As she is talking, the camera pans over to Clayton sitting by her side with his arm around this ex. He then looked up at the camera and smirked before shrugging his shoulders. Ch-ch-check (below):

As TikTok users would say, what happened to the public house?! The video should make fans’ jaws drop to the floor because, let’s just say, Rachel and Clayton didn’t end things in season 26. Scholar on good terms! Here’s a quick rundown of the sitch!
Over the course of the season, the pair had a torrid relationship. The leading man admits to sleeping with Rachel and Gabby Windy and to the couple and Susie Evans that he loves the three of them. It’s very much in season 22 Scholar Arie Luyendyk Jr! This led to an explosive fight with Susie during the Fantasy Suite date, and she was eliminated. After introducing Gabby and Rachel to his family, Clayton realizes that he still wants to be with Susie and breaks up with both women at the same time. Mind you, this was after she asked them both to stay at the rose ceremony earlier!
Gabby and Rachel were understandably hurt and angry about what went down. And in the After the Final Rose special, Rachel didn’t hold back her feelings about Clayton’s “disrespect” in his handling of the situation, saying:
“I just want to start by saying that none of these emotions are for you or about you. It has nothing to do with the feelings that remain because I’m the collateral damage in your journey of love. It’s the most selfish journey. Look again, there’s no empathy for me or Gabby, but you didn’t shed a tear, and watching it yourself, I can’t imagine how you could do it, and I think it’s rude.
And that’s not all! Throughout the combined season of Gabby and Rachel from The Bachelorette, they take every opportunity to throw some major shade at him. So people don’t expect Rachel and Clayton to want to be in the same room again, let alone be in a relationship again after their breakup! See the TikTok reaction (below):
“What’s in the bachelor plot twist.”
“Wooooooooo you are too good for this guy, don’t do this rachel!!!!”
“Say I’m just looking for forgiveness”
“Stand up Rachel girl, she’s got you crying at the bottom of the stairs”
“I’M AWESOME”
“*cue Chris Harrison’s voice* this is going to be the most dramatic plot twist ever…
“Rachel nooo we love the shine up single girl szn. don’t back down”
“WHAT HAPPENED”
“Wow, you must spill when you’re together!”
While many did not support Rachel and Clayton’s rumored reconciliation, others were shocked “here for” them being an item again:
“Plot twist and I’m here for it”
“I thought he was from the beginning…nothing could make me happier than this”
“Honestly they have crazy chemistry, I hope they try; people need to stop ruining the lead – how do you expect a couple to live in 8 weeks.
“I like everything that happened”
“Don’t have this on the 2023 bingo card, but I’m here”
“I’m seriously team rachel in Clayton season y’allll I think the chemistry they have is more than just a connection”
“I always want to be her in the end”
Who knows what’s going on between them now?! Of course, there’s a chance the duo is just messing around with everyone. However, he was still single when Clayton broke up with Susie in September, while Rachel split from her ex-fiancé. Tino Franco after he admitted cheating on her with a woman he met before the show. Perhaps, they realized they were right for each other all at once?
