Former "Bachelorette" star Rachel Lindsay has opened up about the early days of her marriage and expressed regret over not signing a prenuptial agreement with her estranged husband, Bryan Abasolo. During her appearance on "Hidden Gems With Natasha Parker," Lindsay confessed that she had wanted a prenup but ultimately did not sign one.

Lindsay, a prominent figure in Bachelor Nation and host of a popular podcast, revealed that she and Abasolo, who won her season of "The Bachelorette" in 2017, had discussed the possibility of a prenup but could not come to an agreement. In hindsight, Lindsay expressed remorse, stating, "I just didn't want it to be a bigger issue, so we didn't have one. You know, hindsight's 20/20. I would've done it."

Her regret stems from the fact that Abasolo filed for divorce in December, seeking spousal support and $75,000 to cover his legal costs. Lindsay acknowledged that many were surprised she did not push for a prenup, especially given her background as a lawyer. However, she emphasized that both she and Abasolo were in different places mentally and financially since the beginning of their marriage.

Lindsay hinted that a change had occurred in Abasolo as well, noting, "That's why a prenup is necessary because you're dealing with dissolving a marriage, and you're two different people. My mistake is expecting that the people will handle it in the same way."

While advocating for prenuptial agreements in most marriages, Lindsay advised listeners not to simply sign any document, but rather to ensure they are protecting their own interests and beyond. She emphasized the importance of being proactive and prepared, stating, "Better safe than sorry."

As Lindsay reflects on her divorce and the absence of a prenup, she encourages others to learn from her experience and take the necessary steps to safeguard their financial futures in the event of a dissolution of marriage.
