‘Bachelorette’ alum Rachel Lindsay blasts estranged husband Bryan Abasolo for exaggerating ‘glamorous’ lifestyle, trips in divorce petition

Rachel Lindsay is blasting her estranged husband, Bryan Abasolo, for allegedly exaggerating their “glamorous” lifestyle in his January divorce petition.

In Lindsay’s responsive declaration, exclusively obtained by Page Six on Thursday, the former “Bachelorette” star says she does “not consent” to Abasolo’s request for spousal support and attorney’s fees.

“I am not flush with cash, as he believes me to be,” Lindsay, 39, writes. “And I certainly cannot pay his attorney $75,000 to litigate our uncomplicated divorce. If I did so, I would not have sufficient funds remaining to pay my own counsel.”

The former lawyer claims she has “approximately $88,500 in non-retirement funds” and that her “financial situation has changed in the last few years.”

Lindsay currently co-hosts the “Higher Learning” podcast with Van Lathan.

“I have had sporadic social media deals, but my primary source of income since 2023 has been from my work with Spotify,” she explains.

The ex-reality star goes on to say that the estranged couple’s “marital standard of living (‘MSOL’) was nowhere near as glamorous as Bryan portrays it to be,” alleging that the two “rarely saw each other or even lived together during [their] brief marriage.”

According to Lindsay, she and Abasolo — a 44-year-old chiropractor who also “hosts podcasts and receives income from social media” — had a wedding ceremony in Cancún in August 2019.

“However, we were legally married on October 4, 2019,” she says.

They agree that their date of separation is Dec. 31, 2023.

Abasolo, who met Lindsay when he comPeted on “The Bachelorette” in 2017, filed for divorce on Jan. 2.

“At all times, Bryan and I maintained separate bank accounts (checking and savings), credit cards, retirement accounts and brokerage accounts. We had zero joint accounts during our marriage,” she writes, as she previously revealed that they did not sign a prenuptial agreement.

“From October 2019 to March 2021, before we moved to Los Angeles, Bryan and I split all of the household expenses. I used my income and he used his,” she says.

“Since moving to Los Angeles in March 2021, I have paid our housing costs, costs to care for our pets (including their food, medicine, daycare, boarding, vet bills and pet insurance) and Bryan’s health insurance, while he paid the gardener and contributed to some of the housekeeping costs.”

According to Lindsay, the pair’s marital home in LA was purchased in February 2022 “with funds from [her] premarital separate property.”

She alleges that Abasolo “continues to reside in [her] house without contributing any funds to the carrying costs.”

Lindsay goes on to explain their travels, saying their “trips were either sponsored or [they] each paid [their] own airfare.”

“If I was paying, I did not fly Bryan Business or first class. He flew economy. We generally split the hotel costs 50/50,” she pens, claiming that “Bryan coNFLates many of the trips that [they] took before marriage with those that [they] took during marriage.”

Lindsay claims Abasolo “fails to note that the costs of many of these nonrecurring trips were subsidized by other sources.”

“Before marriage, we went to Mexico twice — once to visit our wedding venue and once for our wedding ceremony,” she says.

During their marriage, Lindsay explains that Abasolo took her to Santa Barbara “once for [her] birthday,” a trip for which he paid.

“The NFL sent me to Tennessee once for a nonrecurring work trip and paid for our travel,” she says. “I went to New York often for work. Bryan sometimes accompanied me.”

Lindsay goes on, “We went to Sarasota, Florida, twice for back-to-back weddings. We went to Washington, D.C., once to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. I paid for this trip.”

Lindsay claims she and Abasolo “went to Colombia once to attend [his] cousin’s wedding” and that they “each paid [their] own way” and “split the hotel 50/50.”

Lindsay notes they “took one sponsored trip to Mexico during marriage with another couple from ‘The Bachelor,'” adding that they “did not pay for this trip.”

“He did not mention the trip to Aruba that we were paid to take,” she writes.

Lindsay adds that the restaurants Abasolo named in his declaration “are not places [they] frequented.”

“For example, we went to Mother Wolf once to celebrate a special occasion. Bryan paid for this meal,” she says.

Lindsay alleges that she and Abasolo “very rarely went out together and did not even go on monthly dates” because “Bryan often worked late into the night” and she “traveled a lot for work.”
