Rachel LindsayandBryan Abasoloare officially divorced.
The settlement indicated that Lindsay, 39, will retain the couple’s home in North Hollywood while Abasolo, 44, will keep their Miami condo. The chiropractor will also keep a 2021 Honda Accord that was leased as well as his wedding band and a Breitling watch.
She was also ordered to pay Abasolo $500,000 as an equalization payment, though her previous spousal support payments were deducted from that total, bringing it to $460,229. Lindsay has until Jan. 7, 2026, to make the payment to her ex.

A legal back-and-forth began soon after Abasolo filed, ashe requested spousal supportfrom Lindsay in May andalleged he made only $16,000 annually, despite being a licensed and practicing chiropractor. She slammed those claims in a June filing, opposing his request for spousal support, which she said would “far exceed the actual martial lifestyle and his need” as she accused him of “inflating his expenses.”
Lindsay also claimed she learned that Abasolo, who shemarriedin 2019,informed her that he’d filed for divorce via text message, leaving her “shocked,” whichhe then refuted, while also doubling down on his spousal support request. In a July filing,he claimed Lindsay “never wanted to be around me during our marriage"and had not shown “any interest in [his] business” as her “jet-setting career often took her away.”
She was ultimatelyordered to pay Abasolo temporary spousal support in the sum of $13,257 per month, beginning July 15, and those payments were later deducted from the total $500,000 payment mandated in their divorce settlement.

Lindsay recentlyopened up about the “shame” she felt for a long time during her relationshipwith Abasolo during a guest host stint onThe View.
“We met, we dated for two and a half years, we went and got married. And we were looked at as one of the more successful relationships that came from the show. Anywhere I went, people would ask me about my relationship…. And you feel the public pressure to always let people know that things are great, even though behind closed doors, that might not be the case — or you’re working on it, or you’re having a bad day or whatever it might be,” she said.
“A lot of that is wrapped up in shame. You don’t want to say that it fell. You’re scared, you don’t want people to see you in a different way.”

She admitted that she “saw signs before the marriage” that worried her with Abasolo whenWhoopi Goldbergasked about the timeline of her feeling doubts, but “as women, we’re fixers and we think that we can figure it out. They’re a challenge to us! But eventually I saw it more. I would say within two years, and we were married for four and a half.”
