The two also shared that they “learned a lot of really valuable lessons” from their experience with Clayton and “have learned from his mistakes,” which have prepared them for this new journey.
And the Bachelorettes revealed what qualities they are looking for in a partner.
Gabby said, “Humor is a big one for me. But also emotional intelligence and really knowing who you are as a person. I feel like I am a fully developed person, so I want someone to meet me where I’m at.”
And Rachel shared what she’s looking for, adding, “I want someone who supports me and supports my dreams. I want someone who’s playful and funny and can make me laugh. But at the end of the day, we both just want someone who is our person and we’re ready to find our people!”
We can’t wait to go along this journey with Gabby and Rachel! Their season of “The Bachelorette” premieres on Monday, July 11, at 8 p.m. on ABC.
