Rachel Lindsayis thanking one A-lister, in particular, for helping her marriage toBryan Abasolo.

While interviewingReese WitherspoonandAshton Kutcherabout their filmYour Place or MineforExtra, Lindsay, 37, explained how Kutcher, 44, pointed her in the direction of her final rose recipient.

Kutcher and his wife,Mila Kunis, previously visited Lindsay’s season ofThe Bachelorettein 2017 to host a group date. At the time, Kutcher pulled Lindsay aside and gave her some honest advice about the men he met that day.

“[He] really helped,” Lindsay said. “He said to me, ‘I’m telling you: I’m looking around this room and your husband’s not here.'”

In addition, Kutcher gave Lindsay some general dating advice that has helped her maintain her marriage.

“He told me to talk to him about love languages and read the bookSapiens,” she added. “I remember all this advice — and it worked. We’ve been married three and a half years.”

Ashton then chimed in with his memory of the group date. “I was like ‘none of these,” he recalled. “You know why? Because they were all more interested in beating each other.”

Lindsay concluded, “I’m indebted to him and Mila.”

“Quite naturally, the audience wants to know what we are doing, if we are okay, and what is next for our future,” she wrote in a 2022 blog post. “They want the love story to still play out for their public perception. But our contractual public story, ended on August 7, 2017.”
