Rachel Recchia Is A 'Blonde Bombshell' Posing In Black Bathing Suit

Rachel Recchia is best known for her time in Bachelor Nation as she first appeared on the reality television show "The Bachelor" when she went looking for love with Clayton Echard.

She became the next co-lead on "The Bachelorette" alongside close friend and fellow "Bachelor" contestant Gabby Windey.

She is showing off her bikini body and getting ready for summer.

The "Bachelorette" alum is stunning her followers and fans as she posed for the camera while holding a camera and wearing a black one-piece bathing suit. Her long blonde hair is blonder than usual as she goes lighter for the summer, which pops against her tanned skin.

She also wears black sunglasses as she looks towards the camera. "say cheese," she captioned the post, which gained hundreds of comments from friends and fans.

Close friend and "Bachelorette" alum Gabby Windey commented, "THERE SHE IS," as another close friend "Bachelor In Paradise" star said, "I wanna look like this. I'm going blonde."

"Bachelor" star Kaitlyn Bristowe also commented, "Woah woah woah woah. ??" as another member of Bachelor Nation, Rachael Kirkconnell, wrote, "Cheeeese and rice you're hot."

Other fans expressed things such as "*Barbie has entered the chat*," You look so hot ? as always," and "Looking amazing. Love to see you thriving ???."

The "Bachelorette" alum recently underwent breast reduction surgery. After the procedure, Recchia opened up in an essay, telling the world why she decided to undergo the surgery.

"One day, I had a flat chest. Then, I woke up, and my boobs were bigger than everyone else's. For me, the word that I can use to describe having large breasts is … uncomfortable. From the start, I could tell my triple Ds weren't fitting my frame or lifestyle, and it never got better," she explained.

"My chest was never something I wanted to show off. As a teenager, I didn't want to be sexualized more than I already was. Then, as I got my degree in aviation and entered a male-dominated field, I felt I had to cover up," she continued. "Then there was the physical pain of having large breasts on a small frame. I wanted to fly high as a cheerleader but struggled with back pain. Not to mention the inconvenience of wearing three sports bras when everyone else was wearing one."

Recchia then opened up about her time on "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," explaining how finding a dress was a huge challenge and made her uncomfortable. "My discomfort came to a head when I was the star of a reality TV show and couldn't find a dress to wear. Or I could, but it wasn't the dress I wanted to wear," she said. "When you're dating 32 guys simultaneously, self-confidence is a must … and sometimes it felt hard to shine while wearing clothes that decidedly weren't me. Stylist Cary Fetman and I joked that I was giving 'mother of the bride' during the rose ceremonies in my high-neck gowns. He's great and patient, helping me feel the best I could."

However, when the episodes aired, Bachelor Nation commented on Recchia's fashion choices, which affected the "Bachelorette" lead. "When the episodes played back, and people made the same jokes online, it didn't seem so funny anymore," she said.

Recchia decided to undergo breast reduction surgery a few months ago, and she has never felt better.
