Former Bachelorette Michelle Young finally went Instagram official with her new love after weeks of soft-launching the relationship. Keep reading for all the new details she shared on social media about him.

Public Engagement & Breakup With Nayte Olukoya

Many Bachelor Nation fans were heartbroken when Season 25 Bachelor Matt James chose Rachael Kirkconnell over Michelle Young as his final rose pick.

During the Season 25 After the Final Rose special, ABC named the leads for the next two Bachelorette seasons. Katie Thurston starred in Season 17, and Michelle Young was chosen for Season 18.

Millions of viewers tuned in to Season 18’s season finale to watch Nayte Olukoya propose to Michelle Young. Even the network wanted the couple to work, pitching in $200k earmarked for a down payment on a house for the newly-engaged couple.

However, Young and Olukoya broke up six months later and shared the news on their social media accounts.

Former Bachelorette Teased New Relationship

Nayte Olukoya and Michelle Young officially ended their engagement in June 2022. Since that time, the former Bachelorette has been living the influencer lifestyle with overseas vacations and brand partnerships.

However, what has been missing from her life (or at least, her Instagram) is love. She hasn’t been linked to anyone new since her former fiance.

Earlier this month, the Bachelor Nation alum started soft-launching a new man in her life. First, she posted a photo of him kissing her cheek, his face hidden.

Then she posted a full-on picture of his face on her Instagram Story but didn’t tag him or share his name.

After weeks of teasing her new romance, Michelle Young is ready to hard-launch it by making it Instagram official.
