Here’s The New Divorce Advice Tia Mowry Shared With Rachel Lindsay
On Tuesday, June 18, E! News published an exclusive interview with Lindsay. During a conversation with the outlet, he opened up about the advice he received from Mowry. As The Shade Room previously reported, Mowry filed for divorce from her ex-husband, Cory Hardrict, in October 2022. Additionally, the divorce was finalized in June 2023.
E! News notes that Mowry and Hardrict have been married for 14 years.
“She said, ‘Don’t look at the past, it will hold you back. Don’t look at the future, it will make you worry. Every day, stay in the present because every day you can get through it and become stronger,'” Rachel explained.
In addition, the attorney indicated that he was reminded of Mowry’s advice “every day.”
“The moment he spoke to me, I was too worried to try to control the future,” he said.
Lindsay explained that her “biggest fear is losing control,” and although she feels “that’s the space” she’s in now, she says Mowry’s advice is “liberating.”
“I’m a Taurus, I’m an enneagram eight, and my biggest fear is losing control, and the place I’m in right now,” she said. “And when he said that to me, it was like a burden was lifted. It was very liberating.
The ‘Bachelorette Star Shares What She’s Focusing On Now
After accepting Mowry’s advice, Lindsay explained that she now doesn’t “worry about things” that are “out of her control.” Instead, they focus on “spending time” with themselves.
“I know people see me out and about, and that’s true,” she said. I didn’t want to mask what I was feeling by coming out. Yes, hanging out with friends is healing. Yes, travel is healing, but only superficially. I really want to do the work from the inside.”
Lindsay explained that she now does activities “to heal” herself from “the inside.” Once he does, he believes he’ll be “better outside.”
“So meditate, pray, exercise, walk outside and just be one with nature, spend more time with family and friends… When I walk in the summer, maybe we’re hot. hot girl, maybe not. I’m thumbs up. We’ll see what happens,” he said.
Plus, Lindsay says she doesn’t respect herself.
“I’ve had time to reflect on myself and figure out what I need to move forward, what’s good for me,” he said. “Yes, that sounds a bit selfish but it’s also very necessary. And I think it’s part of self-care…”
Rachel Lindsay Recently Details The Choices She Regrets In Her Ex-Marriage
Lindsay moves forward by putting herself first. However, it was not always the decision he made in the former Union with Abasolo. As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this month, Lindsay first revealed that she wanted a prenuptial agreement with Abasolo before they tied the knot.
However, they are against the initial decision.
“The reason I didn’t (ask for a prenup) is because the place I’m in now financially… it’s a lot different than when I got married. We’re on a higher level, and I don’t live in California,” he explained during an appearance on the ‘Hidden Gems With Natasha Parker’ podcast. “We’re not the same with prenups, and I don’t want it to be a bigger problem. So we don’t have one.”
In the end, Lindsay explained that “hindsight is 20/20.”
“I’ll do it (now),” he said before adding. “Everyone should have a prenup. I can’t predict that in 2024 I will be divorced. You never know what life will bring you or what will happen.
As The Shade Room previously reported, Lindsay met Abasolo in season 13 of ‘The Bachelorette.’ The couple walked down the aisle in 2019. However, in January 2024, Abasolo filed for divorce while seeking spousal support from Lindsay.
In May, Abasolo doubled down on his request by asking a judge to grant Lindsay emergency child support, per The Shade Room. Abasolo reportedly wants his estranged wife to cover $75,000 in legal fees.
In addition, Abasolo is also reported to want Lindsay’s financial assistance so that he can move out of the house they share in Los Angeles.
“Rachel and I live in the Family Residence, but neither of us wants to continue living together. Our current living situation is very awkward and tense. I want to move out of our Family Residence as soon as possible, but maintaining our current standard of living is not financially feasible,” said Abasolo’s May filing, per PEOPLE.
Lindsay responded to Abasolo’s emergency couple request that month.
