Bryan Abasolo Breaks Silence On Divorce From Rachel Lindsay

It didn’t take long from the time the divorce news broke to Bryan addressing it on social media. He shared a statement on his Instagram to get ahead of “blogs making up their own reality.”

The statement of white text on a plain black background begins, “If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I don’t like to put my personal affairs on social media.”

“Many of you know me as a chiropractor, and also as a husband, my proudest role so far,” the statement continued.

“Rachel and I have made the difficult decision to part ways and start anew,” he shared of the decision to divorce.

He mentioned that his parents have been married “forever,” and he considers himself a “family man.” However, “Sometimes loving yourself and your partner means letting go.”

He ended the lengthy post by asking for privacy. “Please respect the spaces of our family and friends as we figure out our next steps.”

While Bryan doesn’t give a direct cause for the split, it seems he thought it was the best option for both of them. He kept the comments turned off on the post.

Us Weekly reports that Rachel Lindsay discussed the “ups and downs” of her marriage just last month on Nick Viall’s podcast. “Marriage has ups and downs, but you never know when we’re good or when we’re not because we never put it out there,” she said about keeping her personal life off social media.

She has yet to address the divorce.
