As Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay and her husband Bryan Abasolo split, I was sad. They were one of my favorite Bachelor Nation couples. The couple fell in love during Rachel’s season of The Bachelorette in 2017. Rachel was a lawyer while Bryan was a chiropractor. They eventually tied the knot in August 2019. Then Bryan filed for divorce on January 1, 2024. Now Rachel is giving her best advice to Thomas E.who is The Bachelor for season 29.

Rachel Lindsay gave Grant Ellis some good advice

Rachel and Bryan’s divorce is a mess. Bryan was awarded $13,000 a month in temporary alimony from Rachel, and she just paid him $43,000 from their joint assets. That’s just part of their final settlement. Bryan was upset, however, because his first temporary alimony was confirmed by an “insulting text message” that read, “BofA: Glender Ruth Llc sent you $6,628.50 in ‘temporary leech money.'” Ouch!

Anyway, Rachel gave Grant her best advice for his search for his wife. “I would say trust your gut,” Rachel told People. “You have no outside influence, so you really have to trust yourself. Listen to your inner voice and follow it. Don’t let other people do it for you,” she added. Grant, who is a day trader, is Bachelor Nation’s second black Bachelor. Matt James was the first.

Additionally, Rachel also offered some advice to the ladies out there. “A lot of times we compare ourselves to others and think, ‘Oh, I’m not good enough or I have to do what that person does,'” Rachel explained. “But the reality is that you are unique. You bring something different to the table every time. So continue to know what you want for yourself, stick to it and be yourself,” she added.

Well, that sounds like good advice. And I’m sure Bryan will find something to be offended by somewhere.

The Bachelorette continues Mondays at 8/7c on ABC. The 29th season of The Bachelor will air in 2025.
