Who are the next Bachelorettes in 2022?

SEASON 26 of The Bachelor came to a dramatic conclusion as Clayton Echard dumped two-fan favourites to pursue former flame Susie Evans.

However, fans were left delighted when it was revealed that the pair would be getting a second shot at finding love.

Who are the next Bachelorettes in 2022?

Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey, both from Clayton’s season, were announced as the new Bachelorettes of 2022.

It is the first time in the franchise’s history that two women have competed on the show side by side.

Rachel Recchia

Rachel, 26, from Orlando, Florida, is a commercial pilot and flight instructor.

She appeared in season 26 of The Bachelor, but despite being in the final two she was rejected by Clayton.

On the March 15, 2022, finale, Clayton sat Rachel down to break up with her.

Rachel cussed Clayton out and was upset that he kept her on the show despite there being no future together.

Rachel told Clayton: “I promise you that when you look back at this, it will haunt you.

“I gave you everything.”

Rachel left the show in tears admitting that she was “heartbroken”.

She admitted she had “never felt a pain like this before”.

Gabby Windey

Gabby, 31, is a cheerleader for NFL’s Denver Broncos, but during the Covid-19 pandemic, she showed her passion extends beyond the field.

When the pandemic closed stadiums and hospitals were in dire need of staff, Windey, who had been dancing since the age of 12, focused her energy on saving lives.

Windey focused on her nursing job and worked 12 hours or more.

She had been a nurse for three years when she was hired to be a cheerleader for the Denver Broncos in 2016.

As a result of her efforts she won the Pop Warner Humanitarian Award in 2020 – alongside the Cleveland Chiefs lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif – making her the first woman to receive the award.

On the March 15, 2022, Bachelor finale, Clayton broke up with both finalists Gabby and Rachel.

Clayton said: “It’s not feasibly possible for me to be in love with three women like I said I was.”

Gabby did not hold back on confronting Clayton saying: “When you say you love someone, you’re assuming responsibility to protect someone’s feelings and you didn’t do that.”

Gabby also expressed that Clayton might have had ulterior motives all along.

She said: “I truly felt that we were on our own journey.

“But watching it back, you were clearly pinning us against each other.”

When Clayton asked Gabby if he could walk her out, she quickly said “no”.

When does season 19 of The Bachelorette start?

Season 19 of The Bachelorette will premiere on July 11, 2022 and feature Rachel and Gabby.

Production on the historic new season begins in March 2022 – though it remains unclear how the series will move forward with two leads.
