The Women Tell All episode of The Bachelor's season of Clayton Eckard went down on Monday night and, naturally, there was a lot of drama in the mix. One thing that garnered a lot of attention was Teddy Wright revealing that one of Clayton's brothers had slipped into his DMs.
"I didn't answer," she said. "I will say, I think one Echard boy was enough for me in my lifetime." Teddy didn't share which of Clayton's brothers reached out to him, but...
OK, But Who Are Clayton Eckard's Brothers, Anyway? Here's what you need to know.
Clayton has two brothers: Nate and Patrick.
Younger brother Nate lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, and shared in a recent post that he turns 27. (Clayton turns 29 the following month.)
Nate is on the left, BTW.
Patrick is the youngest and he certainly seems to be a fan of shirtless photos, if his Instagrams are any indication:
Both the brothers say that they did not do this.
Clayton shared on Twitter that both of his brothers "strongly" denied slipping into any DMs, adding, "So Teddy, please give people (including me) what they want and release the DMs. "
Patrick reposted the tweet to his Instagram Stories and joked, "What does 'strong' mean?" and "so many unfamiliar words/phrases."
Nate also shared a clip from the episode to his Instagram Stories, along with a blushing emoji, writing "juicy stuff" on top. He also wrote in another post, "Many of you are believing, but not many of you know my little brother Pat the Rat."
Both of my brothers have been vehemently denying sliding in the DMs. So Teddi, please give the people (including me) what they want and release the DMs 😂😂 #TheBachelor

Clayton lives with one of his brothers...
... although it is not clear which. "I currently live with my brother," he said on Clickbait With Bachelor Nation, per E!. "We watch episodes together. He keeps it very light. He makes fun of me, says I have no games, and just likes to spoil everything about me. But that's our dynamic. He's been great to be around."
Clayton's mom shared that Clayton leased Patrick in Arizona, so it's hard to tell if he's living with Nate in Scottsdale.
One of his brothers thinks he will be a better 'Bachelor'.
Clayton shared with Kelly and Ryan on Live that one of his brothers (he didn't say which) thinks he could do better as The Bachelor. Clayton said he was told repeatedly that he "has no game" and that his brother "would be better."
For what it's worth, Clayton doesn't agree. "He thinks he's too greasy. I'm like 'I give you five minutes on camera and see where you go,'" he said.
