In another frame we see Tino echoing Rachel's sentiments with, "There’s no way this works out" before breaking down into tears and begging, "Please just keep me out of this. Let me out!” But Rachel doesn't seem to be in a mood to give Tino a pass, as she accuses him of lying to her face and saying, "I want an answer for why you did what you did.” So how did things get so bad between this lovestruck couple who couldn't get enough of each other? Well, according to spoilers king, Reality Steve, Tino's cheating is to be blamed for their split.

Did Tino Franco cheat on Rachel Recchia?

According to Reality Steve, after 'The Bachelorette' Season 19 finale, Rachel reportedly told Tino that when she moves to Los Angeles, she wants to continue dating him and put a pin on their engagement. Tino was allegedly very upset with Rachel's decision and stopped speaking to her. While he wasn't speaking to Rachel, he reportedly kissed another woman. 

Later, he told Rachel about the kiss, and the aftermath of it was what the preview clips showed us. Rachel confronts the California native about his actions and calls him out for cheating on her. Steve also reported that there won't be any "reconciliation coming" between the couple. So, looks like the 'After the Final Rose' special this season is going to be pretty explosive and dramatic. With the tension between Tino and Rachel, as well as Gabby Windey's partner Erich Schwer's ex accusing him of coming onto the dating show for fame while still in a relationship with her, there's a lot of drama awaiting us.



 

'The Bachelorette' Season 19 finale and 'After the Final Rose' special airs on Tuesday, September 19, 2022, at 8/7c on ABC.
