Rachel Lindsay Reflects On Prenup Regrets Amid Divorce From Bryan Abasolo
Rachel Lindsay recently opened up about her ongoing divorce from Bryan Abasolo, revealing her wish for a prenuptial agreement. The former Bachelorette star, who is also a lawyer, shared her thoughts in an interview with Natasha Parker, reflecting on how a prenup might have changed her current situation.
“It was just a different time, so I wasn’t leading with that,” Rachel said. “And we weren’t on the same page with prenups, and I just didn’t want it to be a bigger issue, so we didn’t have one. You know, hindsight’s 20/20. I would’ve done it. I mean, I always wanted to do it, but again, we weren’t on the same page when it came to that.”
Bryan filed for divorce in December and is now asking for spousal support and $75,000 to cover his legal fees. Given Rachel’s legal background, people often question why she didn’t insist on a prenup. Reflecting on her past decisions, she noted that her financial situation has changed significantly since she got married. “The place that I’m in now, financially, is totally different than when I got married. We were more leveled, and I wasn’t in California,” she said.
Rachel emphasized that a prenup isn’t about planning for divorce but rather protecting both parties’ interests.
“I’m not the same person that I was when I got married. You’re just not. And that’s why a prenup is necessary because you’re dealing with dissolving a marriage, and you’re two different people. My mistake is expecting that the people will handle it in the same way,” she added.
She confessed that she didn’t foresee the changes in her marriage and now understands the importance of a prenup. “I think every person should have a prenup because I could have never predicted that in 2024, I would be getting a divorce. You just never know what life’s gonna throw at you, what’s gonna happen,” she admitted.
Rachel also pointed out that prenups are not solely about maintaining financial independence during a marriage but can also provide financial stability if the marriage ends. “I’m not saying sign any prenup that’s put in front of you, but there should be something to protect your interest, yes, but also to protect you if you do get divorced and you have sacrificed certain things for the betterment of the family,” she explained.
