Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey’s season of “The Bachelorette” may have been one of the most dramatic seasons yet, and Recchia’s and Zach Shallcross’ breakup had something to do with that.
Shallcross is finally opening up about what he believes caused his and Recchia’s relationship to end, per Variety. He said, “I’d say it’s really the lack of communication and with night one, that’s what I was essentially preaching is so important for not only a healthy relationship but also for us to navigate this the right way,” he continued, “Whether it’s good or bad, you need to have communication through it all. Tell me everything because I’ll tell you everything and with Rachel, we didn’t have that communication.”

As for whether it was as much of an unexpected shock for him as it was for viewers, Shallcross says it was. He said, “At that time, it felt like a blindside … I understand where she’s coming from now.” During their overnight date, Shallcross realized he wasn’t the one for Recchia. He said, “Essentially, I was treated a lot different than I had ever been treated by her the entire season … And I was looking at her and thinking, ‘I don’t think she sees it in me. I don’t think she sees a future with me.'” The tech executive admits that he has no animosity toward Recchia for what happened, as he is now on his journey to finding love.
