Rachel Recchia Discusses Dating and Reveals If She’ll Ever Go Back on Reality TV
Keeping it real.
Bachelor Nation fans have gotten to know and love Rachel Recchia on “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette,” and “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Rachel recently gave love another shot on Season 3 of Netflix’s “Perfect Match,” where she coupled up with someone, but they ultimately didn’t work out.
Since her time on the shows, Rachel has been keeping fans updated with her life on social media.
Now, she is opening up about her dating life on the “Trading Secrets” podcast with Jason Tartick and revealing whether she’ll ever go back on reality TV.
She shared, “I’ll always take the call and see, but I don’t know. It’s really hard for me because I feel like I have such a different personality than what reality TV is… I’m perfect for ‘Bachelor’ and that side of things. But it would have to be very different and unique for me to want to do it. I don’t know.”
Rachel continued and revealed that she’s unsure if this is the end of reality TV for her.
She said, “I mean, I never want to say the end because I said the end after ‘Paradise.’ I mean who knows, really, what’s gonna come up? But I don’t see another, something like ‘Perfect Match’ or anything like that again. Who knows… If it makes sense with my job [in aviation], because I really do need to start focusing on that more. So, we’ll see.”
The Bachelor Nation star then got candid about her dating life and discussed the difficulties she has faced.
“The more you do this sort of a thing like TV, it feels like the smaller your dating pool gets,” Rachel admitted. “I’ve tried to date people outside of this space and sometimes people are too private, they don’t want it, they can’t understand, and it can be a lot. So I feel like you’re kind of in this position where now like, ‘Who can I date that will kind of get what I’ve been through and kind of get me?’ It’s been really hard, honestly.”
We always love hearing from Rachel and we’re sending her our love. We know she’ll find her person!
