The Bachelor ette alum Rachel Lindsay is sharing some regrets about not having a prenuptial agreement with her ex, Bryan Abasolo, whom she married in 2019 after they met on the reality dating show.

During an appearance on Thursdays episode of the podcast Hidden Gems With Natasha Parker, Lindsay opened up about her unnecessarily messy split from Abasolo, who filed for divorce in January .

Lindsay, a lawyer, said that she believed the reason she didnt move forward with a prenup was because she was in a totally different financial situation when they got married.

We were more level, she said. Abasolo, a chiropractor, was Lindsays pick in Season 13 of The Bachelorette, filmed in 2017.

It was just a different time, she added.

The Bachelorette star, who was the first Black lead of the TV franchise, then suggested that they werent initially on the same page with prenups.

I just didnt want it to be a bigger issue, so we didnt have one. Hindsight is 20/20; I wouldve done it, she said, noting that she always wanted to have a prenup.

I could have never predicted that in 2024 I would be getting a divorce, she said. You just never know what lifes going to throw at you, whats going to happen.

Lindsay encouraged marriage-bound listeners to get prenups, saying its just smart.

She also said that she and Abasolo are still living together and that its not easy.

The person you marry is not the same person you divorce, she said. And Im talking about myself, too. Im not the same that I was when I got married... and thats why a prenup is necessary. Youre dealing with dissolving a marriage, and youre two different people.

My mistake is expecting that the people will be able to handle it in the same way, and they just dont.

A representative for Abasolo did not immediately return a request for comment.
