While discussing his paternity scandal in the Wednesday, January 22, episode of the program “Almost famous” Podcast, Cohost Ben Higgins Eckard, 31, read a quote that Evans, also 31, said during his trial. (After a woman claimed that Eckard was the father of her twins, the court eventually ruled I stood with him In July 2024.)
“I want to hear what you think about it,” said Higgins, 35. “I want you to explain it to us. “Listen, Clayton may be a lot of things, but he's not a liar,” she said. “It means a lot to me.” (Evans spoke out in support of Icard on the “Viall Files” podcast in November 2023.)

He's not (…)
However, Eckard continued to share his thoughts. “I think there are reasons why I broke up with (her) and there was parity, you know, there's no blame to be dissipated, but there are reasons why it didn't work out from my perspective the way I handled it and vice versa,” Echard said.

Why did you say, 'Clayton's not a liar.'” It could be a lot of things?” So I wasn't in favor and told her so.
Eckard claimed that Evans was “aware” of “some of the ways” she framed things, but noted that “it is what it is.”

But in the end, like after those breakup conversations, after As the feelings cooled down, it became more like, we weren't meant to be each other's people forever.
