Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia are the stars of The Bachelorette season 19, and Hayden Markowitz is one of the 32 men competing for their hearts. After their tumultuous experience with Clayton Echard on The Bachelor season 26, 31-year-old ICU nurse Gabby, and 26-year-old pilot and flight instructor Rachel, were selected for another chance at love. Clayton told all of his final three women that he loved them, but he later broke up with Gabby and Rachel for his current girlfriend, Susie Evans. Rachel and Gabby became best friends because of their shared experience, and they are now happily searching for love on The Bachelorette.
