Hey, what's going on? It's me, Deja Vu with WBLS.com, and we are talking to Rachel Lindsay and her new fiance, Dr. Ryan. Ryan said your last name for me. I don't want to butcher it. It's easy. Abba. Abba. I want to make sure. I'm so low. I never got it. We got it. Hi guys, y'all such a striking couple. Thank you so much. Thanks for having us. Of course. All right. So we're coming off of the finale. Everybody's super excited about this. Talk to us about the journey and getting to where you are now, because starting from the beginning, when you came straight in with the kids and everything, did you kind of have a nudge that he might be the one at that point? Yeah, you know, I mean, he made... Clearly made. He clearly made a big first impression on me. He got the road. Yeah. And then he had the first kiss. He had second kiss, too. He's the only one who kissed me that night. And I saw the potential in him, but at the same time, it scared me. And I kind of put him through the ringer. I gave him a tough time questioning him. I wanted to make sure that what I was feeling was real, because he checked everything off my imaginary list. But going through the journey of our relationship, it was kind of effortless at the same time. Yeah. Yeah. The spark was there from the beginning, and like she said, every single encounter got better and better. There was never a halt to our communication. There was no drama. There was no arguments. So I mean, I guess maybe that's why you didn't see any of the in-depth conversations that we had, because that's kind of boring. Everything went so well. But we're boring. We want to see the drama. Who wants to see that? We don't even want to roll it up and everything. Yeah, exactly. How was it for you watching her as she went on dates with other guys? Did you kind of feel like, oh my god, I got to step my game up a little? Yeah, you know what? It's always tough to see your future fiance date 30 other guys. But you know what? My MO, the entire journey was number one focused on Rachel. Don't start drama and don't talk behind anybody's back. And I literally stuck to that. And I wasn't worried about what all these other guys were doing. They were actually focused on my connection with her. And I couldn't help that. I just kept doing what I was doing. So they were little jealous already. Yeah, yeah, you know, I was in their heads. I was in their heads. And you know, I maintain my eye on the price. So yeah. All right, so Rachel, how did you feel? How did your family feel when you first decided to find love in such a public platform? Because everybody is scrutinizing those tweets, there's Instagram posts. Yeah, how did that affect the family and impact you in turn? Well, it's funny because when I went on the bachelor first right next season, they were like, oh yeah, you know, do it. And I think because I was one of 30 girls were on that season. So I was one of 30. But then being bachelor red and then being the first African American bachelor red, I think my parents were scared of the scrutiny that I was going to face. And then it all being about me and the focus of me on me. And they were very protective. But when I broke it down, why I wanted to do it and what it meant to me and what a big deal this could be and how it could be, you know, a platform for other things. And the represent myself in a positive way to America. They were behind at 100%. Absolutely. Well, we saw you get down on the knee. You got this beautiful ring. Can we get close up on the ring? Can we get a close up? It's blinding me over here. It is beautiful. I did good. Excellent. Good. Excellent. All right. So what's next for Rachel and Ryan? Where are you guys going to live? What's next is normal. Yeah, or as much as it could possibly be. We just, I mean, you have to really want to do normal things. Go to the movies, get a cup of coffee down the street, walk copper. You know, just do everyday things. Where that'll be, we don't know yet. But like we really want to cultivate our relationship. We're both focused on each other. We are serious about our engagement. Absolutely. We see forever with each other. We want to move towards marriage. Will we see the wedding broadcast on television as well? I don't know. Come on, Gavin. You started with the ring. I want to see this gown. I have got to. Well, you know, I personally don't want to gown. I want white tuxedo, low cut, very sexy, fitted. Really? Yeah. She looks good in anything. So I'll agree with her. So I'm going to work. We love it. All right. Thank you guys so much for stopping by. Rachel Lindsay, Ryan, Brian, Abbasolo. Abbasolo. Abbasolo. Thank you so much. Thank you.
