Are Nayte Olukoya and Michelle Young still together or engaged now, according to ‘Bachelorette’ spoilers
If fans don’t want to watch the rest of Michelle and Nayte’s journey unfold in The Bachelorette Season 18, Bachelor Nation blogger Reality Steve already shared major spoilers about the ending.
Ahead of the season premiere, the spoiler king said Michelle picks Nayte and they get engaged in the finale. And even with all the “is he ready for an engagement” narrative, Reality Steve claimed Nayte and Michelle are still together now.
“Seems like Nayte was the only one [during Hometowns] that they made not seem ‘ready’ to be engaged. Which is to be expected because that’s what this show does,” Reality Steve wrote on Dec. 1. “People dissect anything they can on the show and post-show, but just wanted to let you know, nothing has changed. Michelle and Nayte are engaged.”

When speaking with E! News in late November, Michelle shared an update on how she’s feeling now, and it seems like she’s happy with her ending.
“I’m in love with where I’m at,” Michelle said. “Coming into this process is such an abnormal thing, and walking into it, I wasn’t sure how it was going to end. … But I knew that I was going to be learning so much along the way, and that’s all I wanted.”
She continued, “I wanted to go through it. I wanted to stay true to who I was. And I knew that if I did that, I would get something out of this entire process.”
Update: In The Bachelorette finale, Michelle picked Nayte, and they got engaged. They also appeared on the live taping of “After the Final Rose” on Dec. 21, and the two confirmed they are still together now.
