Nayte Olukoya wins Michelle Young’s first impression rose in ‘The Bachelorette’ Season 18 premiere
Michelle and Nayte seemed to have a genuine connection in The Bachelorette Season 18 premiere episode on Oct. 19. The contestant was the first one out of the limo, and he shared his full name — Babatunde Obafemi Robert Nathaniel Olukoya — before making Michelle laugh with a pun.
Meanwhile, Nayte pulled Michelle aside after all the drama with Ryan Fox, and he really started opening up. At first, the cast member noted that he was hesitant of being vulnerable because their family lives differed so much. He couldn’t relate to Michelle’s family dynamic because her parents were married for more than 30 years, and his parents were divorced. Nayte also revealed he never saw his parents kiss, and he hoped his kids won’t see the same thing because he wants someone he can really be “together with.”
In the end, Nayte told Michelle that she helped him open up, and she gave him the first impression rose. The bachelorette appreciated her contestant for opening up, and she saw that he was truly pushing himself to be vulnerable.
