Are The Bachelorette’s Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo Still Together? Inside Marriage and Split
The Bachelorette alums Rachel Lindsay and husband Bryan Abasolo were going strong as one of Bachelor Nation’s longest-standing couples until their split in January 2024. Even before Bryan confirmed the breakup, fans were wondering if the two were still together as they kept independently busy with their respective careers.
Are Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo Still Together?
Rachel and Bryan met during season 13 of The Bachelorette in 2017, where the chiropractor proposed during the finale. The attorney’s other finalists included Peter Krause, Eric Bigger and Dean Unglert.
Rachel admitted that she wished viewers saw more of her blossoming romance with Bryan on-screen. He scored the first kiss of the season and the first impression rose, but much of the drama surrounded her up-and-down relationship with runner-up Peter, 36.
“When it comes to Bryan, you obviously see that we’re very passionate with each other, but you don’t see the depth our relationship had,” Rachel told The Hollywood Reporter following her season finale. “There was no drama. It’s crazy the chemistry that we have between each other and how compatible we are. I really wish you could have seen more of that. I wish you could have seen the essence of Bryan.”
Bryan agreed with the sentiment during their joint interview and thought their lack of tension didn’t make for “interesting TV.”
“There were no arguments,” he shared. “There’s a lot of drama on the show, so I think they decided to air that and leave out in-depth conversations.”
Unfortunately, the two were not able to make their relationship work. More than six years after they got engaged, Bryan filed for divorce in California, Life & Style confirmed. He released a statement about the split on January 2, 2024.
“If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I don’t like to put my personal affairs on social media and like to keep a safe space for our family,” he wrote. “Many of you know me as a chiropractor and also as a husband, my proudest role so far. After more than 4 years of marriage, Rachel and I have made the difficult decision to part ways and start anew. My parents have been married forever and I’m a family man, but sometimes loving yourself and your partner means you must let go. I wanted you to hear it from the source before the blogs start making up their own reality. Please respect the spaces of our family and friends as we figure out our next steps.”
When Did Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo Get Married?
Rachel and Bryan tied the knot in 2019 during a gorgeous ceremony in Mexico. Prior to that, they did a little bit of moving around to figure out what worked best for them.
In 2019, nearly two years into their engagement, Rachel relocated to Miami, Florida, from her hometown of Dallas, Texas, in order to be closer to Bryan.
“I was a work in progress. It was a little hard for me to say, ‘OK, I’m going to pick up and leave,’ but it just makes so much more sense,” Rachel exclusively told Life & Style in 2019 about moving to Florida, where Bryan’s medical practice is located. “Bryan has business in Miami. I’m always traveling. There’s no point to really be in Dallas anymore, other than family.”
Since then, the Bachelor Nation duo has moved to Los Angeles in order for Rachel to pursue her career in entertainment.
Do Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo Have Kids?
The estranged husband and wife don’t have kids but spoke about starting a family while they were still together.
“A lot of people are, like, ‘Um, you said you were going to start.’ We do. We want to,” Rachel exclusively told Life & Style in 2020. “I know there’s no perfect time and we have our own timeline, but it’s definitely something we still want to do.”
That being said, the Bachelor Nation star has no time for rude comments about their family planning. Rachel jokingly mimed playing the violin in response to a person who said they were “no longer a fan” via Instagram in December 2022.
“Lying to Bryan about wanting children for five years is cruel and manipulative,” the comment Rachel shared read, to which she responded, “Sure, Jan.”
