JoJo Fletcher Spills on Gabby & Rachel's Bachelorette Splits

You can always count on the support of Bachelor Nation

It hasn't been the easiest journey for Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia—who served as co-Bachelorettes during the franchise's 19th season—since they both got engaged on the show. 

Gabby's engagement to Erich Schwer came to an end earlier this month, as E! News first reported. A source revealed it was Gabby who called things off with the 29-year-old New Jersey native after she "felt they weren't aligned and weren't on the same page."

Meanwhile, Rachel's engagement to Tino Franco didn't even make it past the After the Final Rose ceremony, which aired Sept. 20, where it was revealed that Tino had cheated on Rachel after the show had finished filming. 

Now, a former Bachelorette is sending her condolences.

"It's always such a bummer when that doesn't work out," season 12 The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher exclusively told E! News. "Especially this soon, because I know right after the show you're on this high and it's such an amazing feeling. You're with this person and you can share your love."

JoJo, of course, knows what she's talking about. After all, she and Jordan Rodgers got engaged at the end of their season in 2016. The couple got married in May
