Rachel Lindsay And Raven Gates are not the first Bachelor education alumni to become friends during the show’s filming, but their subsequent feud was one of the biggest mysteries in the franchise’s history.
Lindsay and Gates met during Nick Vialseason 21 of The Bachelor, which was filmed in late 2016 and aired from January 2017 to March 2017. Lindsay finished second runner-up, while Gates came in second. (Vanessa Grimaldi got engaged to the leading man, but they called it quits in August 2017.)
Despite their once close relationship, fans noticed that Gates did not attend Lindsay’s bachelorette party ahead of her August 2019 wedding to Bryan Abasolo, which raises questions about where the former friends stood. Lindsay confirmed in September 2019 that she and Gates were no longer friends.
