Bryan Abasoloknows he has found his match in wifeRachel Lindsay.

Chatting with guestJason Tartickand co-hostMike Johnsonon theirTalking It Outpodcast, the season 13Bachelorettewinner opened up about the key to his marriage with Lindsay, 36.

“I feel like for me, in my situation, Rachel just had like, an X factor, you know? She was a triple threat: brains, beauty, personality, great sense of humor,” Abasolo, 41, said on Monday’s episode. “She was a professional, she had a career, everything on paper was top notch, everything I could ever want in a woman, an engagement and a wife, everything. But the thing is, like, she keeps me on my toes, right? She challenges me to be a better man and I feel like guys need that.”

He continued, “Even a little attitude — I feel like you need a little attitude. You can’t just be a pushover for me. Like Drake said in one of his songs, ‘A little attitude will make that s— last.’ Sometimes you need a little feistiness to keep the flame going.”

Agreeing with Abasolo, Tartick in turn opened up about what has allowed for his relationship with fiancéeKaitlyn Bristoweto work. “I even told Kaitlyn the day that we podcasted, because I referenced a lot of the podcast when I proposed to her, the first one. I was like, ‘I need someone to tell me to f— off,'” he recalled.

Tartick, 32, also said he views Bristowe, 36, as a good “life partner” because of the couple’s ability to communicate their issues. “This is what actually can lead us to be great parents and grandparents and have grandkids and great grandkids and like, support each other,” he said. “Not just through this crazy stage, which we’re in, but in 10 years, 20 years, 40 years.”

Tartick’s relationship with Bristowe was made public in January 2019, two months after sheannounced her splitfrom ex-fiancéShawn Booth. Tartick and Bristoweannounced their engagementin May.
