Rachel Lindsay is being ordered to pay more than $13,000 a month to Bryan Abasolo after he asked for $16,000 in spousal support.
Rachel Lindsay has been ordered to pay estranged husband Bryan Abasolo more than $13,000 a month in spousal support amid their ongoing divorce proceedings.
On Monday, ET obtained court documents pertaining to the legal separation of the 39-year-old lawyer and her 44-year-old husband, who met on The Bachelorette back in 2017 and tied the knot in August 2019. The docs state that Lindsay will have to pay Abasolo until further notice.
Abasolo -- who filed for divorce back in January and listed their date of separation as Dec. 31, 2023 -- previously asked a court to have Lindsay pay him $16,000 a month, rather than the $9,000 she offered, per Page Six. New court papers show the court landed on a number between their asks.
"Respondent is ordered to pay to the Petitioner temporary spousal support in the sum of $13,257.00 per month, payable one-half on the first and one-half on the fifteenth of each month, commencing July 15, 2024, and continuing in a like manner until further order of the Court," court docs say.
The pair -- who do not have any children but previously told ET that kids were "definitely coming in the future" -- will have their next scheduled court proceeding on Sept. 23 in Los Angeles. Lindsay will also have to pay $15,000 for Abasolo's legal fees and $5,000 for other expenses.
Earlier this month, the chiropractor told the court that the $16,000 he was asking for monthly would barely be able to cover his living costs.
"After I pay monthly expenses, there is nothing left," he wrote, according to Page Six. His ex quickly responded, "I am not flush with cash, as he believes me to be," adding that if she paid his attorney fees totaling $75,000, she wouldn't be able to "pay my own counsel."
After Abasolo filed for divorce, Lindsay broke her silence on the separation, sharing that she was blindsided and taking it day by day. After letting things sit for a few months, the podcast host and reality star fired back and opened up about wishing she had a prenup in place.
"The reason I didn't is because the place that I'm in now -- financially, however you want to define it -- is totally different than when I got married. We were more leveled and I wasn't in California," Lindsay told Natasha Parker during an appearance on the Hidden Gems podcast.
She continued, "If I got married in California, I know California's wild. It's not in my favor all the time. So, it was just a different time. So, I wasn't leading with that, and we weren't on the same page with prenups. So, I just didn't want it to be a bigger issue. So, we don't have one."
"I could have never predicted that in 2024 I would be getting a divorce," she said. "You just never know what life's gonna throw at you, what's going to happen. It's two people coming together for one union. You should absolutely get it and it's not unsexy and it doesn't mean you're planning for divorce. It's just smart."
