Sue Heck ends up with her longtime friend and neighbor Sean Donahue, and the two eventually get married in the flash‑forward shown in the series finale of The Middle.

Who Sue Ends Up With

  • In the final episode “A Heck of a Ride,” Sue and Sean finally confess their feelings for each other after years of near‑misses and mixed signals.
  • A flash‑forward then reveals that, although they break up a couple of times, they do get back together and marry later on.

How They Get There (Short Story Style)

Across the series, Sue dates several boys (Matt, Darrin, Logan, Aidan, Tyler), but none of those relationships fully stick.

Sean is the “boy next door” who’s always around: he takes special trips back from college, helps the Heck family in crises, and quietly carries a crush on Sue for years.

In the finale, Sue is ready to move on, thinking her timing with Sean will never work out, so she leaves him a snow globe with a heartfelt note as a goodbye gift.

Sean discovers the snow globe at the airport security check, realizes how much she truly cares, and rushes to catch her on the road; he stops her car and finally declares his love, and they seal it with a kiss.

A later flash‑forward shows their outdoor wedding, officiated by Reverend Tim Tom, confirming that Sue and Sean’s slow‑burn romance is endgame.

TL;DR: In The Middle , the answer to “who does Sue end up with in The Middle ” is Sean Donahue — they eventually marry after years of almost‑but‑not‑quite relationships.
