What ‘Bachelorette’ spoilers suggest about Olumide Onajide and Michelle Young’s future together

It seems possible Olu and Michelle will go the distance in The Bachelorette Season 18. In the preview for the new season, the contestant gets emotional while he tells Michelle she’s “literally a breath of fresh air.” But what happens next? According to spoilers, it doesn’t look like Olu makes it to Fantasy Suite week.

On Nov. 9, Reality Steve named three contestants who will make it through to the final four on Michelle’s season of The Bachelorette. Olu wasn’t mentioned, so it’s still possible he will get the last top-four spot and go to Hometowns. But whatever the case, spoilers indicate that Olu and Michelle do not end up together. So whatever happened to their relationship, we’re hoping everyone makes it out the other end unscathed. Stay tuned.

The Bachelorette Season 18 with Michelle Young airs Tuesday nights on ABC.
