On The Bachelorette season 19, 32 suitors are competing for the affections of Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia. Hayden Markowitz is one of those men.
Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia are the stars of The Bachelorette season 19, and Hayden Markowitz is one of the 32 men competing for their hearts. After their tumultuous experience with Clayton Echard on The Bachelor season 26, 31-year-old ICU nurse Gabby, and 26-year-old pilot and flight instructor Rachel, were selected for another chance at love. Clayton told all of his final three women that he loved them, but he later broke up with Gabby and Rachel for his current girlfriend, Susie Evans. Rachel and Gabby became best friends because of their shared experience, and they are now happily searching for love on The Bachelorette.
During the show’s premiere, Hayden emerged from the limousine, telling both of the women that they looked pretty. After hugging them, he introduced himself, saying, “So my name’s Hayden, and I know that does sound a lot like Clayton. But what I’m gonna do differently is I’m gonna be thinking with this head and not that one.” Although the women laughed, Gabby said in her confessional that it was the wrong time for a Clayton reference because it was the beginning of their new journey.

During Hayden’s one-on-one time with Rachel, he presented her with a handmade birthday card, because she’d had a birthday a couple of weeks before filming began. As a nod to her career as a pilot, he drew an airplane on the front. Inside of the card, he wrote, “Happy Birthday, Rachel! I know your birthday was a few weeks ago, but it’s never too late for best wishes. I hope your life is filled with an abundance of love, joy, and most of all, me. Love, your co-pilot, Hayden.” Rachel told him that she loved the card and that it was special, and Hayden told her that it came from the heart. In her confessional, Rachel said that Hayden was cute, and that he really went out of his way to let her know that he was interested in being there for her. She shared that she felt very special, and definitely felt a spark with him.
