Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo's Relationship Timeline

A Bachelorette success story! Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo have continued to prove the haters wrong since falling in love on season 13 of The Bachelorette.

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.”

Abasolo, for his part, penned a sweet letter to his future bride after the proposal aired, making it clear he wasn’t worried about Kraus.

“Rachel ❤ my love, my rock!! It’s felt like forever, but the wait is finally over!!! 🙏🏼 No longer do I have to hide the fact that you are and always have been the one for me!” he wrote via Instagram at the time. “No longer do I have to keep secret how in love w you I truly am from the rest of the world! Hearing you say ‘yes’ on the top of that castle in Spain was the greatest moment of my life! I was optimistic about what could be prior to stepping out of that limo but never in my wildest dreams could I had foreseen us building such a strong foundation and deep bond in the last 6 months. Every single day literally gets better and better with you and reaffirms that God placed you in my path for a reason. We’ve gone through so much … the ups, the downs, the challenges … but in the end, what shines above all else is the deep love, loyalty, respect and admiration we have for each other and that’s what will continue to carry us through into our future. I can’t wait to start our new life together full of fun and adventure! I am so blessed and lucky to have you and I promise to cherish you forever! I love you baby! ❤😍💍”

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.

Not long after their wedding, the couple confirmed to Us that they hope to start a family.

 

“We hope [to have kids] sooner rather than later. We’re not preventing it, but if we’re planning, in the next year,” Lindsay told Us in October 2019.

 

Abasolo added, “I’m going to be the easygoing dad. I want to be the playmate. [The baby will be] wrapped around my finger, absolutely. ‘Whatever you want.’”

The chiropractor gushed over his wife as the pair marked their first anniversary as a married couple in August 2020. "I can't believe it’s already been a year since we both said 'I Do!'" he wrote via Instagram at the time. "I consider myself beyond lucky to be able to call you my wife and truly blessed to be your husband. I wake up every single day a better man because you are always there to support, encourage, and love me no matter what. You are my rock and my best friend. Thank you for the memories we have shared together this year and I look forward to many many more. I love you @therachlindsay Happy Anniversary! ❤️😘."

After Lindsay's Extra interview with Chris Harrison made waves in early 2021, her husband said he was "disappointed" with the longtime Bachelor Nation host's behavior. "Chris Harrison is someone that I respected highly and I’m not gonna lie, I definitely lost respect for him after watching that interview," Abasolo said on his "Talking It Out" podcast in February 2021, standing up for his wife amid the backlash. "What he said was irresponsible. It was hurtful. It was just flat-out unacceptable."

The chiropractor took aim at "malicious" trolls following the "Higher Learning" podcast host's powerful New York Magazine op-ed, which was published in June 2021. Despite the ups and downs they've faced within the franchise, Abasolo wouldn't have done anything differently.

"Rachel just had like an x-factor," he said during an episode of his "Talking It Out" podcast. "She was a triple threat — brains, beauty, personality, great sense of humor. She was a professional. She had a career. Everything on paper was top notch. ... She keeps me on my toes [and] she challenges me to be a better man."

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
