Rachel Lindsay is speaking out about ex-husband Bryan Abasolo’s “low” discussion of her fertility struggles.
After news broke in January 2024 that Abasolo, 46, had filed for divorce from Lindsay, 40, he spoke with divorce coach Rene Garcia in an in-depth interview about their relationship.
“He said things in that interview that I had never even personally talked about,” Lindsay recalled during the Wednesday, March 4, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “He talks about fertility, and it wasn’t even the truth of what he was saying. Other than saying I wanted to have kids, I’ve never talked about that.”
She added, “Nobody knows the story with that.”
Us Weeklyhas reached out to Abasolo for comment.
During the July 2024 interview, Abasolo claimed “other things were made a priority” in their relationship, so they were unable to start a family.
“Women have a different biological clock than us,” Abasolo claimed. “It was going to be me going along with a plan, but I was under a hell of a lot of stress.”
Abasolo said it was “tough” to watch Lindsay experience fertility struggles, noting that he “felt terrible” about it. “Just watching her sadness, it broke my heart,” he added. “It was like I was failing expectations on all fronts.”
Former Bachelor Nation couple Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo initially kept quiet about their decision to divorce, but more messy details have since emerged. Us Weekly confirmed in January 2024 that Abasolo filed for divorce from Lindsay. Court documents obtained by Us at the time revealed he listed their date of separation as December 31, […]
During Wednesday’s podcast episode, Lindsay also addressed claims that she was “lying” about the status of her and Abasolo’s marriage during public appearances ahead of their divorce.
“We were working on it,” she clarified. “We tried. We were in therapy. We were trying to work on it. I’m not going to talk about the fact that, ‘Hey, we’re in therapy and we’re trying to work on our relationship.’ I don’t think inviting people in, in that way — because we were trying to save it — would have helped it at that time.”
Lindsay added, “I wasn’t being fake. I’m living my life, but I’m not giving you every single detail about it.”
Lindsay appeared on “The Viall Files” podcast in December 2023, weeks before Abasolo filed for divorce. She said she did not know he was “about” to split up with her when that podcast was released.
“I knew we were having issues, but everything I said was true. We did want to have kids. I still wanted to have kids,” she said. “Maybe I wasn’t being honest with myself about how bad it was in the moment.”
Lindsay added, “Maybe we weren’t good, but we were working on it.
