Michelle gave her final rose to Nayte on Season 18 of The Bachelorette, and there were some heavy hints that she was leaning toward him for a while. Michelle said in the previous episode that she felt like Nayte was her “soulmate.” Nayte’s meeting with Michelle’s parents went OK, although Michelle’s dad pointed out in an interview with producers that things were “warmer” when he met with Brandon.
