Re: Bryan asking for support. He chose to move his practice for their relationship but that doesn't mean that Rachel owes him money for doing it. It appears that he's taking advantage of her success, imo. I bet that Rachel wishes they'd done prenups.

She’s a lawyer; do we know there isn’t a prenup?

I am sad. Surprised, but I agree with someone upthread, they don’t seem to spend enough time together.

No, but I'd think that he couldn't ask for support if there was, at least assuming it would cover that.

Not surprised at all.

For me, I never got this relationship. I get keeping your life private, others have done it, but they were so public about everything else. They rarely seemed to spend time together. I have tried to update their banner for ages, but it was hard getting normal, candid photos of them. I have been thinking how do they keep their marriage together, when they rarely appeared together. I had been wondering how long before the break up, then she started talking about kids and I thought maybe I was wrong. I should know by now to stick to my first instincts.

I wonder who will hit the Bachelor Nation podcasts first? If Brian goes on Chris H's you know it will turn into a free for all.

We may not agree about Kaitlyn but this I 100% agree about. Guessing she will to try to play "victim" and put out her side. jmo

Well, one thing both Rachel and Kaitlyn have in common is their desire for a family at an age when conceiving is very challenging. I hope they both realize there are many ways to form a family and natural conception with a spouse is only one method. Find a partner an be the best step-parent you can be. Consider becoming a foster parent - single or partnered. Consider adopting as a single or partner. Or volunteer with youth who need someone to believe in them.

@Norcalgal Totally agree. At their age not only is conception more difficult, but the odds of complications during pregnancy are higher, as are chromosomal issues for the baby. There are so many children in foster care or looking to get adopted. Not to mention, if you are dating, men at that age probably already have kids.

I know a lady who did just that. Trouble conceiving, a couple of failed long term relationships, biological clock ticking and she ended up fostering a couple of boys who had disabilities. She has changed their lives. A lot of their issues were due to a poor start in life and she provided the stimulation, care and love they needed. She ended up adopting them and to see them so happy and thriving is absolutely wonderful.

I never really had any impression of them as a couple -- singly, yes, but as a couple, no. I'm not a fan of either, but OTOH I think the failure of their relationship is unfortunate. Hopefully they will not feel the need to publicly snipe at each other too much, but this is BN we are talking about.

by **Norcalgal** Thu Jan 04, 2024 10:08 pm

@Sprite Love the story about the woman you know fostering some boys, especially when they had disabilities. There is a special place in heaven for people like that. So humbling to know someone has that capacity for love.

I hate gossiping about what went wrong but this might strike close to it

@Norcalgal Yup. Makes sense. I figured something along these lines was a possibility. As soon as she went from being a lawyer to going into media and holding off on starting a family, I saw red flags.

That article was very much pro Brian. How long before we hear something from Rachel?

Guessing she will stay quiet. Won’t want to become the story if she’s trying to get a hosting gig like The View.

I believe that to be true, just following them for so long, they were so different in their lives. He just minded his own business and continued to work and help people stay healthy.

She was always moving around from one gig to another since her season ended and sometimes in the tabloids for one reason or another.

I'm hoping they quietly move on.
