Who is Rachel Lindsay on The View?

After becoming one of the biggest names in Bachelor Nation, Lindsay announced that she was officially cutting ties with the franchise. Now, she’s a guest host on The View as well as a correspondent for Extra.

She rose to fame on The Bachelorette, where she met her current husband. The star is also an attorney, alongside her experience as a star on The Bachelor season 21, and as The Bachelorette lead in season 13.

She’s a ‘rare find’ on the ABC show

Fans are loving Rachel covering Sunny on the ABC talk show. One wrote on Twitter, “Rachel Lindsay is a rare find from Reality TV. She’s smart, educated & entertaining all at the same time.”

Rachel is only a temporary replacement for Hostin, who will be back as a regular on Friday. She stepped in for the host back in January and came back during a July episode, much to the excitement of viewers.

Rachel Lindsay sat with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin. Whoopi said, “So, Sunny’s out today. Rachel Lindsay is here. She’s an author, attorney, and media personality, and all-around really great gal.”
