Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo
The divorce proceedings between former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay and her estranged husband, Bryan Abasolo, continue to unfold, with new financial details emerging as of Thursday, September 12, 2024.
Court documents obtained by Us Weekly reveal that Lindsay’s average monthly income is now reported as $48,368, a $1,000 decrease from the figure used to calculate spousal support just two months prior. This adjustment has become a point of contention, with Abasolo’s legal team disputing the new numbers and the court’s previous decision to end support on March 1, 2026.
Abasolo’s representatives argue that he lacks the financial means to “engage in relitigation of issues the court already ruled upon,” especially given what they claim are “incorrect facts and contradictory law.”
The court had previously ordered Lindsay to pay $13,257 monthly in spousal support, $15,000 in attorney’s fees, and $5,000 in forensic expert fees. However, the judge emphasized that this was a “short-term marriage” and advised both parties to work towards financial independence.
This legal battle comes more than nine months after Abasolo initially filed for divorce, ending their four-year marriage that began with a romantic ceremony near Mexico in 2019. The couple’s relationship, which blossomed during season 13 of The Bachelorette in 2017, had been subject to public speculation about troubles in paradise, mainly due to their decreased social media presence.
As the divorce proceedings continue, this case highlights the complex financial negotiations that often accompany high-profile splits, especially those originating from reality TV romances. With no children involved, the court reminded the couple that they were “not fighting over very much,” urging a perspective acknowledging the inevitable changes in lifestyle post-divorce.
The ongoing legal dispute between Lindsay and Abasolo serves as a reminder of the challenges couples face in the public eye, especially those whose relationship began in the spotlight of reality television. US Magazine
