Rachel Lindsay is speaking out about her recent divorce from Bryan Abasolo, sharing the emotional rollercoaster she experienced after completing her spousal support payments. In a candid interview on the“Pop Syllabus”podcast, Lindsay expressed feelings of powerlessness over not having a prenup, openly reflecting on how much she felt she had to give during the process. Despite the challenges, she’s finding strength in her new chapter, using her experiences as fuel for a future book of essays that’ll explore topics like dating in her 40s, societal pressures, and personal growth.
Lindsay and Abasolo finalized their divorce in January 2025 after four years of marriage, with Lindsay revealing that the financial burden of their separation was intense. The former attorney plans to share her post-divorce life and all the lessons learned along the way, taking readers from the messiness of public breakups to the societal expectations that can pressure individuals into marriage in the first place. It’s clear she’s ready to embrace her new identity and connect with others navigating similar waters, one essay at a time. Who knew that the path to empowerment could start with heartbreak?
