Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo fell in love on season 13 of The Bachelorette, but their relationship did not stand the test of time.
After meeting Lindsay on Nick Viall’s season 21 of The Bachelor, the attorney made history as the first Black Bachelorette in 2017. Her top two were quickly established as Abasolo, a Miami-based chiropractor, and Peter Kraus, a personal trainer from Wisconsin.
While Lindsay happily accepted Abasolo’s proposal during the August 2017 finale, she felt viewers didn’t see the whole story as her split from Kraus overshadowed the happy moment.
“The Bachelor franchise does believe in happy endings — some people get an on-camera happy ending, some people get on off-camera happy ending, and some people get both,” she recalled in her Bachelorette season 14 finale blog for Us Weekly. “As for my happy ending, it was not demonstrated within the confines of your television screens, but I am living it every day in real life.”
The twosome proved any remaining critics wrong when they got married in Mexico in August 2019. They subsequently jetted off on a honeymoon in Greece.
After four years of marriage, Us Weekly confirmed that Abasolo filed from divorce from Lindsay. He listed their date of separation as December 31, 2023, and has requested spousal support from Lindsay.
“If you’ve been following me for a wild, you know I don’t like to put my personal affairs on social media and like to keep a safe space for our family,” Abasolo shared, in part, in an Instagram statement at the time. “After more than 4 years of marriage, Rachel and I have made the difficult decision to part ways and start anew.”
