Rachel Lindsay is embracing a newfound sense of freedom following the conclusion of her divorce from her former partner, Bryan Abasolo.
“I’m thrilled to feel empowered to open up about this, and I’m doing really well,” Lindsay, now 41, shared on the April 23 episode of the “Awf the Record” podcast. “I decided to enhance my confidence with a little help from Dr. Truesdale. Huge thanks to him—he’s truly the best in the field.”
Although Lindsay hasn’t specified the exact procedures she underwent, Carl Truesdale is a renowned facial plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, California.
In a previous Instagram post, Truesdale mentioned that Lindsay had undergone a skin pinch and fat transfer.
Discussing her separation from Bryan Abasolo, Rachel Lindsay expressed relief, stating that “it feels wonderful” to leave their marriage and its associated challenges behind. “It really feels like starting anew,” Lindsay, 39, told TMZ in a short interaction at Los Angeles International Airport on January 21.
Lindsay met Abasolo, 46, who was the recipient of her final rose during season 13 of The Bachelorette, which aired in 2017. They tied the knot in August 2019 and were married for four years before separating in 2023. Their divorce was finalized in January 2025.
“We were fundamentally different when it came to ambition,” Lindsay said on Thursday’s episode, detailing what led to her breakup. “I can think of conversations I was having with my cousin where I was complaining about the lack of ambition and my frustration for how hard I was working.”
Lindsay worked as an attorney both before and after going on The Bachelorette. She has since found a new career as a podcaster and an author. Abasolo, for his part, has continued working as a chiropractor.
“[I was working] as a lawyer during the week and on the weekends … flying out to Bristol, Connecticut, doing radio for ESPN, a five-hour radio show,” she recalled. “I was hustling even harder, and I’d come home and there you were.”
Rachel Lindsay is giving her perspective about married life with estranged husband Bryan Abasolo’s life, according to new court documents obtained by Us Weekly. “Our marital standard of living was nowhere near as glamorous as Bryan portrays it to be,” Lindsay, 39, said in the Wednesday, June 26, filing. “In fact, we rarely saw each […]
Lindsay continued, “I realized we were fundamentally different before marriage, but there are societal pressures … that led me to the sense of urgency that I had to get [married].”
In Lindsay and Abasolo’s divorce decree, the former Bachelorette was ordered to pay her now-ex $13,257 in monthly temporary alimony, $15,000 for his attorney’s fees and $5,000 for forensic expert expenses. Lindsay, who did not sign a prenup before her wedding, completed her payments in January.
“I don’t think he won,” Lindsay stated to the “Awf the Record” hosts. “There was a time when my anger was attached to what I was losing financially. I was thinking, ‘Yeah, he’s winning.’ It was a loss and it definitely hurt. I worked very hard for those things, you know, for the money that I made, but I’m so rich in community.”
She continued, “I’m so rich in [that] I feel more myself than ever, like, I know who I am. I’ve done the work on myself. These are things he cannot take away from me.”
