Bryan Abasolo and Rachel Lindsay’s split might have blindsided Bachelor Nation, but Bryan’s latest revelations add a dramatic twist to their love story.

It turns out their relationship was far from the fairy tale it appeared to be.

The couple’s disconnect grew so severe that they eventually retreated to separate bedrooms before calling it quits.

Bryan Confesses Why They Had Separate Beds

In a revealing YouTube video posted on Saturday, July 20, Bryan, 39, didn’t hold back as he laid bare the cracks in their marriage. Chatting with divorce coach Rene Garcia, Bryan said, “We didn’t spend enough time with each other. I mean, in my estimation, we saw what the other person was doing in the relationship, mainly on Instagram, although we lived in the same house.”

He continued, “I was thinking about divorce because I had already asked for a separation a few months back. I was sleeping in a different bedroom. We were already going to marriage counseling.”

Bryan’s candid account provides a peek into the growing chasm that ultimately led to their separation, revealing just how distant they had become despite sharing the same roof.

Rachel Has Many Post-Divorce Regrets

Bryan and Rachel’s romance began in the whirlwind of The Bachelorette Season 13, where they first crossed paths. The couple, who had a fairytale-like courtship, got engaged in August 2017 during the show’s finale. Their relationship appeared to be the perfect match, leading to their wedding in August 2019. However, behind the scenes, things were not as rosy as they seemed.

Despite their public persona as one of Bachelor Nation’s most beloved couples, cracks began to show over time. Their relationship faced scrutiny and challenges, particularly with the pressures of maintaining a public image while managing their personal lives. Notably, Rachel’s busy career and Bryan’s demanding work as a chiropractor seemed to amplify their growing distance.

Since they announced their split, several significant developments have unfolded. Bryan, who has been granted spousal support (over $13,000 a month), has moved out of the couple’s shared home.

Rachel, in particular, has expressed regret over not having a prenup. This oversight has complicated the divorce proceedings and is a source of frustration for her. The lack of a prenuptial agreement has made the division of assets more contentious, contributing to the overall stress of their separation.

This public unraveling of their once-celebrated romance underscores a stark reality: not all relationships that begin in the spotlight end with a fairy-tale finish. The gap between their initial love story and their current struggles is a testament to the real-life challenges that come with maintaining a high-profile relationship. As Rachel and Bryan move forward, the memory of their separate beds looms large, reflecting the deeper issues that ultimately led to their split.
