Clayton on His Engagement to Lana Del Rey and Aaron’s Biggest Note from Producers | Happy Hour

In this episode of Bachelor Happy Hour, host Rachel and Charity interview Clayton Johnson, a country artist and songwriter who recently became engaged to Lana Del Rey, and Aaron (Erin Kong), a 32-year-old project manager from Utah who is a contestant on Taylor's season of The Bachelorette. Clayton opens up about his deep, meaningful relationship with Lana Del Rey, describing their bond as a transformative chapter in his life that led to personal and professional breakthroughs, including a publishing deal with Universal Music and a record deal with RCA. He shares how their connection evolved during the pandemic through FaceTime, and how he wrote his first number-one song for her with Quavo from Migos. Despite her current marriage, Clayton expresses genuine happiness for her, emphasizing that love in its purest form means wanting the other person to be happy. He also reveals a surprising moment: he once asked out Caitlin Bristow at a George Kittle party in Nashville without knowing who she was, only to learn later she was a former Bachelorette lead. Aaron, meanwhile, shares his journey into the show through a spontaneous watch party, his openness to dating someone with children, and his deep faith rooted in his Mormon upbringing. He discusses the importance of solitude and self-love, drawing from Jay Shetty’s book 'Eight Rules of Love,' and reflects on how his experience with his nieces and nephews has shaped his desire to become a father. Both guests radiate authenticity, humor, and emotional intelligence, offering heartfelt insights into love, faith, and personal growth.
