Everything Bachelorette Couple Rachel & Bryan Have Been Doing Since Getting Married
The two recently celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary.
Though the Bachelor franchise doesn't have the smoothest track record when it comes to creating long-term relationships, Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo are one of the rare success stories. After meeting and falling in love on Rachel's season of The Bachelorette, they got married last August at a ceremony held at Mexico's Royalton Suites Cancun. (Naturally, there were plenty of Bachelor alums in attendance.)
Since then, the couple have returned to their home in Miami — where they relocated after temporarily living in Rachel's hometown of Dallas, Texas — and have both been keeping busy with their careers. Along with co-hosting Game Night on ESPN Radio and MTV's Ghosted, Rachel is a special correspondent for Extra. She also continues to stay in the Bachelor/ette mix with her Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, which she hosts alongside fellow former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky-Manno. Bryan, meanwhile, still works as a chiropractor, and he's also a fitness coach under the name Dr. Abs. Like his wife, he has a podcast on the side: Dr. Abs Healthcast.
If you haven't been keeping up with the couple's day-to-day lives, however, you might be in need of a few more updates. Here's what they've been doing since tying the knot.

"It was important for me that we did it together, because we are one unit. We're married,” Rachel told Entertainment Tonight. "It was also marching for our future, our future child, who will be Black. I don't know if they'll be a male or female, but they may face some of these injustices that we're experiencing right now. So, we're marching for our future family, and that's what was representative of what we went out there and did that day.”

Tag a friend and spread the word!!!”
The couple also celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary in August. "One year + FOREVER...I love you and I am beyond thankful for you," Rachel wrote to Bryan on Instagram.
