Brayden Bowers hails from The Bachelorette Season 20, and Rachel Recchia from The Bachelorette Season 19 and The Bachelor Season 26. Viewers are keen to know about their relationship because they shared laughter, sat together, had lively conversations, and seemed like a potential couple.
Brayden Bowers was sent home in the tenth week from The Bachelorette Season 20. He is a 25-year-old romantic, handsome, and hardworking guy from Murrieta, California. The travel nurse is hunting for his perfect match and promises to stay with her to love her hard once he finds her.
27-year-old Rachel Recchia wants her partner to accompany her when traveling internationally because she recently got her private pilot license. The flight instructor was engaged to Tino Franco in The Bachelorette Season 19 but left him after getting cheated.
Brayden wants a romantic, loyal, and adventurous partner. Meanwhile, Rachel wants a respectful, empathetic, playful, passionate, and spontaneous partner like her.
Is Rachel And Brayden Dating?
Rachel and Brayden are not dating as they broke up, and Rachel self-departed Bachelor In Paradise Season 9 before it could end. She thought Brayden would offer her the rose in the final rose ceremony in the sixth week, but she was wrong.
Brayden got the rose from the wild card entry. Becca Serrano and Rachel called off the relationship and the show in the third week. Brayden was eliminated in the fourth week. Meanwhile, Rachel dated Tanner Courtad, according to Reality Steve, before quitting the show.
Some viewers think Rachel should have given her rose to one of the remaining two contestants, Brayden Bowers and Taylor Pegg, before leaving, as it could have saved one of them. Finally, the duo was eliminated for not getting any roses.
Taylor could not go on a one-to-one date with anyone. Moreover, he ended up receiving sand in an envelope during the opening segment of the show. Thus, he deserved more time to connect to someone.
Viewers do not question Rachel’s decision to quit because they know what she has been through, but giving a rose to one of the two was fine. Thus, the survivor could have found his potential partner in further episodes.
Brayden became a villain in The Bachelorette Season 20 and a shirtless knight in Bachelor In Paradise America Season 9. An unknown person on the beach wrote that Rachel had secretly made out with Brayden, and she considered him the best kisser. Moreover, she was surprised to have a heated chemistry with him.
Brayden And Rachel’s Journey
Brayden Bowers has been the BIP Season 9 cast member from the first episode, and his presence in the show was confirmed on 14 August 2023 during the special episode, ‘Men Tell All,’ from The Bachelorette Season 20.
The travel nurse received a rose in the first two weeks, went on a date in the third, and was eliminated in the fourth. He gave his rose to Kat I. in the second week and got one from Rachel in the fifth, which meant Rachel and Brayden were going on a date.
Brayden went on a date with Becca in the sixth week, which hurt Rachel. He gave his rose to Olivia in the seventh week and was eliminated in the ninth after getting no rose.
Some people might think Brayden did not deserve a rose from Rachel because he had previously left Rachel for Becca, hurting the former. On the other hand, Tanner broke up with Brayden, and he did not get an opportunity to woo anyone.
Rachel was confirmed as the BIP Season 9 contestant on 21 August 2023. She received a rose from Sean in the second week and gave one to Brayden in the fifth.
