Transcript

00:00 because of their breakup, the only reason I knew is because my like all of my

00:04 feed started blowing up with hundreds of messages from people saying like they

00:09 never deserved it, now's your time, like all this crazy stuff.

00:14 Peter Krause speaks out about Rachel Lindsay and Brian Abasolo's divorce.

00:19 Two weeks after Brian filed for divorce from Rachel, the Bachelor Nation star

00:24 appears on the She's All Batch podcast and shares his reaction on the split.

00:29 I like I read it, I haven't reached out, I thought about reaching out just as a

00:34 support system being like you know we went through this experience together,

00:38 we're forever connected in that way, whether it's for the good or the bad or

00:43 whatever I don't know, but I realized that wasn't my place, like it's just I'm

00:50 not a part of her life anymore, she's not a part of my life anymore, you would

00:55 never reach out to an ex during a breakup in real life. And while some fans

01:00 wonder if Peter and Rachel could ever rekindle their romance, which came to a

01:05 tearful end on the 2017 season of The Bachelorette after he didn't want to

01:10 propose, he suggested that everything between them ultimately happened for the

01:15 right reasons. Because of their breakup, the only reason I knew is because my

01:20 like all my feeds started blowing up with hundreds of messages from people

01:25 saying like they never deserved it, now's your time, like all this crazy stuff.

01:30 The point in life where I am trying my very best to realize the past is in the

01:33 past for a reason and if it was meant to be it would have been then. Still, Peter

01:39 makes it clear he wishes Rachel nothing but the best. I wish her nothing but the

01:43 best and I really do feel terrible that it ended in that way.

01:47 You know, breakups, divorce, all that heartache, all of it's hard, it's

01:52 complicated, no one's good at it. If you are good at it, you're lying to yourself.

01:57 As fans recall, Brian filed for divorce from Rachel on January 2nd and cited

02:03 irreconcilable differences as the reason for their breakup. He wrote in an

02:08 Instagram statement, "After more than four years of marriage, Rachel and I have

02:12 made the difficult decision to part ways and start anew." And while Rachel

02:17 acknowledged it's been a quote "difficult time," she isn't ready to fully talk

02:21 about the split yet. She said on the January 5th episode of her podcast, "I

02:27 will eventually, but now is not the time. Just trying to take it day by day."
