Michelle Young & Nayte Olukoya Make Debut On Red Carpet

Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya, featured on The Bachelorette season 18, share about their relationship becoming more “public” on the red carpet.

Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya, featured on The Bachelorette season 18, have continued to make their relationship public after being photographed on the red carpet. Michelle struggled with having multiple suitors, but she now appears more than content with her engagement to Nayte. With The Bachelorette season 18 having ended in December, the two have had two months to solidify their relationship since the airing of the series, clearly in love and working on navigating everyday life as a couple. Michelle not only helped to diversify the franchise, alongside her eclectic group of male contestants, but she also has restored hope in the series, bringing stability and class back to the often trashy, questionable dating series.

While Nayte may not have been the most liked contestant from Michelle’s season, with fan-favorites like Mike Johnson having doubts about his character, he has proven to be a reliable match for Michelle. Already making known their plans to get married in the near future, The Bachelorette couple doesn’t appear to be wasting time with a prolonged engagement. Even though the franchise has gone through waves of controversy, specifically with Clayton Echard’s chaotic season of The Bachelor, Michelle and Nayte have lacked the problematic quality of many Bachelor Nation couples.

Michelle opened up to E! News about her relationship with Nayte and their new ability to “be out in public” since filming The Bachelorette. Having to keep their relationship private for months, the two are finally able to express their love for one another out in the open, with the red carpet being the perfect place to publicize their happy engagement. With positive emotions after The Bachelorette, Michelle and Nayte appear to have no regrets when it comes to their relationship, wanting to share this exciting moment in their lives with fans and the media. With this big step, the couple claimed that they are “living [their] lives” and aren’t “phase[d]” by outside opinions. Even though the two have received “very positive” feedback from fans, they are still being cautious as they open up and become “public” with their relationship. Lacking the insecurity and conflict many reality television couples face post-filming, Michelle and Nayte have taken to stardom with maturity and poise.

With flashy red carpet dates and plans for a wedding, Michelle and Nayte are enjoying engaged living. Already planning romantic dates and prioritizing travel, the couple wants to “hit up Europe,” both eager to take up adventures and explore all that married life has to offer. Simple and sweet, Michelle and Nayte lack the obnoxious, superficial nature of some reality couples, instead wanting genuine connection over media attention. Certainly proud of what they have accomplished as a couple, they both look towards one another for validation rather than outside of their relationship. Casual in their approach to reactions and speculation, the two haven’t engaged with commentary on their love lives, both good and bad. Setting an example for future franchise couples, The Bachelorette will hopefully become a less toxic, more meaningful experience with quality couples like Michelle and Nayte.

With messy ends for previous leads of The Bachelorette, such as Tayshia and Katie, many have seen that Michelle has better odds with Nayte than former contestants on the series. Soon to be married and embracing a new season of life, Michelle and Nayte are happier than ever getting to be open and honest about their love life. Still helping to mentor other couples, the two are certain to be recurring figures within the franchise, willing to help others in their love journeys.
