About this video

We love a good happy ending in the "Bachelor" franchise, so when Rachel Lindsay found the man of her dreams in Bryan Abasolo in the 13th season of "The Bachelorette", we couldn't have been more thrilled for them! And four years later, the couple, now married, are still going strong, even when Dr. Bryan is traveling between California and his native Florida for work. The twosome join Young Hollywood via Zoom to tell us about their work with the Nicklaus Children's Hospital and their Nicklaus 4 Kids campaign and how they became involved with such a great cause. We also play the "Couples Challenge" with them to find out more juicy deets about their relationship, including who was the first to say "I love you", how they have each other saved in their phone, who spends more money, and more!

Well, we've actually worked with Nicholas Children's Hospital for a few years now. Brian being a South Florida resident. And um when I actually, even before I moved there, we were going to events like Fashion Gives Back because Brian's cousin is actually an ambassador for the hospital. So for us, we've always tried to stay involved with Nicholas Children's Hospital. It means a lot to us. They do a lot of amazing work as Brian just talked about. And um yeah, so when this came campaign came about, we were like, we have to be involved. Uh we just want to make sure that we're always continuing to use our platform for a purpose and that we're also bringing awareness to causes that matter a lot to us, especially in a time where we're focusing and rightfully so on the pandemic and everything that that has brought about and how it's affected our country. We want to make sure that we're still highlighting charities that are still doing a lot and need our help and our support.
