Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay is counting down the days until she will no longer be required to provide alimony to her ex-husband, Bryan Abasolo.
“I’ve been through a lot in the last two years. 2024 was definitely that year [and] top of 2025, my divorce was finalized,” Lindsay, 40, said on the Wednesday, December 24, episode of Alexis Waters’ “Literally, Not OK” podcast. “Now, I still have to make payments.”
Lindsay and Abasolo, 45, separated in late 2023 and settled their divorce in January 2025. Per the divorce decree, Lindsay was ordered to pay Abasolo $13,257 each month in temporary spousal support and $15,000 for his attorney’s fees, as well as an additional $5,000 for forensic expert expenses.
“[The] last one coming up soon,” she quipped on Wednesday, further detailing what she’s learned from her divorce. “I am a control freak in a sense, and the lesson that I’ve learned is things are going to be out of our control, and you really have to trust the process.”
Lindsay continued, “When I really let go of things, and I just let them happen when they’re supposed to, which is very hard for me, they happen. … I try to remember every day, but I really saw it come to fruition in 2025 with a lot of things.”
Lindsay and Abasolo met on her season 13 of The Bachelorette and got engaged during the season finale. The pair eventually tied the knot in 2019, four years before calling it quits.
“We didn’t spend enough time with each other,” Abasolo recalled during a July 2024 interview with divorce coach Rene Garcia. “I mean, in my estimation, we saw what the other person was doing in the relationship, mainly on Instagram, although we lived in the same house.”
He added at the time, “I was thinking about divorce because I had already asked for a separation a few months back. I was sleeping in a different bedroom. We were already going to marriage counseling.”
By the time Abasolo filed for divorce, he requested support from Lindsay due to their alleged income discrepancies.
“I have an issue with people who take advantage of the system,” Lindsay, a former attorney, claimed on an April episode of her “Higher Learning” podcast. “The reason I said my ex is not deserving of alimony is because we both made sacrifices in the marriage, and I shouldn’t be punished because I was successful during the time that we were married, and he wasn’t. I’m truly tired of the narrative of, ‘Well, he’s deserving of the money because he picked up and sacrificed his career for her.’ I’m just gonna say this, and I’m gonna say this once — not true.”
Abasolo worked as a chiropractor in Miami when he appeared on The Bachelorette. Lindsay, who was previously based in Texas, later relocated to California to pursue TV hosting gigs. They initially had a long-distance, bicoastal marriage before Abasolo eventually moved to Los Angeles full-time.
With the divorce finalized, they have each moved on.
“I’m dating,” Lindsay revealed on Waters’ podcast, coyly hinting that her “bush found a willy.”
