JUSTIN Glaze was raised in Baltimore, Maryland, by two parents who set an example for love for him.
Justin has fought his way through the field of 31 suitors eyeing Katie Thurston's heart and is now one of the two remaining contestants on this season of The Bachelorette.
Justin was born to Mark G Glaze, his father, and Deborah, his mother. He has one brother named Alexander.
Justin's parents have inspired him to find the perfect partner.
Because they were married for about 30 years, Justin hoped to find a lasting and meaningful connection with Katie during this season.
His parents didn't appear in the hometowns episode, which Justin expressed was very upsetting.
His parents said they find it hard to understand how someone can propose after such a short period of time.
Although Justin was upset his parents weren't there, he had two of his friends appear in the episode to meet Katie.
When he spoke to Katie about it he said “I did find out my parents weren’t able to make it, it hurt, it’s disappointing. My two best friends are here.”

Although Katie seemed relaxed about it with Justin, she did say she finds it hard to imagine a proposal without meeting his family.
Herb, one of Justin's friends, said "The way I saw them interact, Katie could be the one".
Before Katie met Justin's friends he said, “I’m so grateful to have my two best friends here, they’re like brothers to me".
Katie's final two men are:
Former frontrunner Greg Grippo shocked Bachelor Nation when him and Katie got into a fight that led to his self-elimination.
Steve revealed on June 23 that Katie picks Blake as her winner and that they even get engaged.
"Katie is engaged to Blake Moynes. All I can say is it’s been about a 7 week process since filming ended to get this info, and I’m very confident in what I’ve been told," he revealed.
On August 2, 2021, fans were shocked when Justin's parents didn't appear in the Hometowns episode.
Justin has always stated that his parents marriage is the inspiration to find true love but it was revealed that his parents don't support his journey with Katie which is why they didn't come on the show.
“You know your dad and I will support you, but I just find it difficult to understand how anyone could get to know someone in this short period of time to propose,” Deborah told her son on the phone following his attempt to persuade his parents to make the trip.
“You have to be mindful of not only getting to know a person, but that individual’s family because all of those things are important in a marriage and in a relationship,” she continued.
While Justin thinks highly of his parents and their relationship, he did not let their disapproval get in the way of his quest for Katie's heart as he said that he still plans on marrying her if she chooses him in the end.
