After getting his heart crushed by Michelle Young, Clayton Echard is all set to return to our screens looking for love yet again. But this time around he'll be appearing as 'The Bachelor' of Season 26, meaning he'll be the heartbreaker now. 

As Clayton is ready to put aside his love baggage aside to find love amongst the 31 beautiful women all keen on wooing him, it seems like one of these women has some baggage of her own. Salley Carson, a 26-year-old from Charlottesville, Virginia, was engaged to be married to her man Avery Buchholz. But just weeks ahead of the official cast announcement of the women who would be featured on Clayton's season, Salley reportedly called off her wedding and joined the reality dating show. Looks like we have loads of drama awaiting us on the upcoming season of 'The Bachelor'. If you're curious to know more about Salley's fiance Avery, then keep reading.

Who is Salley Carson's ex-fiance?

Even though Salley's bio on ABC website states that she was previously engaged, the showrunners didn't disclose any further information about it. Luckily for us, our all-time favorite spoilers icon- Reality Steve spilled the team on Salle's engagement and the canceled wedding in a tweet on September 25. Alongside a picture of a screenshot from her wedding registry and her bachelorette part, Steve tweeted, "Hearing a ton of stuff already about these women, but this one has me floored: Salley Carson was engaged & having her bachelorette party a month ago. She was set to be married TOMORROW but the wedding was called off a couple of weeks ago. Now she’s on the Bachelor ha ha."

Salley was reportedly engaged to Avery Buccholz, an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Virginia Health System. He also runs his own practice, where he uses his 15-years-of clinical experience to treat a wide range of conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. He uses state-of-the-art technology to perform various intricate procedures. According to his LinkedIn profile, he served in Army National Guard for 12 years from 2005 to 2017. He earned his Masters in Public Health and Doctor of Medicine from the University of Wisconsin- Madison. 

Avery appears to be a private person as his social media presence is very scanty. Pictures of Salley and Avery are still on her Instagram page, as well as her Facebook picture. Neither Salley nor Avery has revealed the reason behind their canceled wedding. It is unclear if the couple got back together or are still broken up. We will just have to watch the show to learn more about them.

'The Bachelor' Season 26 premieres on January 3, 2022, on ABC.
