Bachelorette’s Rachel Recchia is a summer lover.
Recchia, 30, showed off her bikini body while working on her tan in one of her new Instagram photos shared on Monday, July 6.
In the bikini-clad pic, the former Bachelorette rocked a teal triangle top featuring gold stitching and halter straps. She styled the look with matching low-rise bottoms and rolled-down denim shorts.
Recchia donned soft glam including mascara, manicured brows and a touch of blush. She slicked her blonde hair back into a sleek bun with her ends poking out.
“Bitches luv a summa,” she captioned the post.
Recchia previously opened up about her figure in April while clapping back at comments on her appearance.
“Whenever I post, the majority of the comments are, ‘I don’t look like myself,’ and ‘I don’t look good,’ and ‘I look sick,’ and ‘I was so much more beautiful back then,’” she said via TikTok, referring to when she filmed Clayton Echard’s season 26 of The Bachelor in 2022.
“I’ve been very open and transparent with the filler and Botox that I have,” she added. “I would do anything to be 25 and look that way again.” Recchia continued, “Another thing I really wanted to touch on [is] the weight fluctuation that I’ve had throughout the years.”
The TV personality shared that before filming season 3 of Perfect Match in 2025, she got sick and needed a peripherally inserted central catheter line (PICC) in her arm, which caused her to lose weight.
“Right after I got that PICC line out of my arm, I went to film the show. I lost even more weight,” Recchia explained. “You go and you’re on a show and the main thing is people telling me how big I was when I was the Bachelorette, and then you see yourself at a different weight, it’s really hard to let yourself gain weight after that.”
Recchia noted she had been “working on” her self-image ever since, and encouraged her fans to “put a little more kindness into the world and on the internet.”
